   Huge yikes.

   Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter.

   Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business.

   There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives.

     So true! We tried to just let trannies do their own thing, and then they beat up women and raped kids whilst asserting that's what it means for them "to exist". Total Troon Death!

     The most valuable lesson trannies ever taught me.

     @nileane Used to pay for Kagi until about a year ago, when an image result from Stormfront appeared in my search results. I joined their discord server so I could ask if this was an intended/acceptable outcome and Vlad gave me roughly the same answer. According to him, if I didn’t want to see results from a Nazi forum showing up, I should simply block it – it is not for them to dictate. I expressed how myopic I thought their ‘principles’ were and cancelled my subscription.

     After exchanging a few DMs with Kagi founder Vladimir Prelovac tonight, it seems that they are not going to change or evolve their stance on this matter anytime soon. Welp.

     Here’s a couple of screenshots from the forum thread since it seems to be down at the moment.

     1st screenshot is the initial post from a user expressing their concerns.

     2nd and 3rd screenshots are responses from the Kagi team.

     What a disappointment.

     I was genuinely enthusiastic about Kagi. I've been using the service for about a month, and I would have gladly continued my subscription for what I thought was a great product.

     But there's no way I'm letting any more of my money go to them if they're perfectly aware that there's a chance it could end up in the accounts of those who actively fight to have me stripped of my rights.
