@aral yes of course, and I'm not saying DDG should be trusted even if they had their own search index, because they are VC funded. What I'm saying is that being VC funded is not the cause of their "news" section showing MSN links.

They have been the bad guys consistently for at least 40 years now, and now that some people start realizing that, maybe some things will change at a global level.
It's only after Palpatine revealed being Darth Sidious that the Rebel Alliance could be formed.
_(and even now, my cultural reference comes from the US)_
