I was going to read Fox News earlier, and I accidentally typed foxnees.com into the address bar and that domain redirected me to youtube.com.

Out of curiosity, I checked to see when that domain was registered, and the ownership of it changed just 2 months ago. It's weird. Who would buy that domain just to do that with it?

Another weird political web domain story:

A few months ago Mike told me about a search engine called starpage.com. Startpage says "Get Google search results without being tracked!" To me that sounds weird, because who's tracking what? And if you're trying to avoid Google, why would you want to use startpage then?

Aside from all that weirdness, it got weirded when I checked to see when startpage.com was registered. It was registered just 1 month after google.com was registered. Isn't that weird? It seems like Google created "the Google alternative" just 1 month after they created Google itself.

But does google own it?

It may have changed hands and may track you now, too. I know that
duckduckgo used to be a non-tracking alternative but I have lately heard
people complain about it tracking them.

Also, very recently, Mozilla -- parent of Firefox -- has announced that
they will no longer not be sharing your information with others.

I think the money that AI is probably offering these sites and companies
alone, to use their data to train their AI, is probably staggering.

The media says that it's owned by a Dutch company, and Google is supposedly owned by Americans. But the timing of their domain registrations makes it hard to believe.

For a list of search engines that are part of the world elite, look no further than the pre-loaded search engines in Chrome's (or Edge's) settings panel. Tracking isn't the part that I worry about, I just worry about people being manipulated by biased search engines.

Their name is too big to not be infiltrated by the left.

Companies set up shell companies all the time for various purposes.

I worked for a big retailer a while back. They created several shell companies to buy land for new stores because if wind got out that "big retailer was buying land for a new store" the prices for the land would go way up.

I assume that all searches are biased and treat the results accordingly.

Mozilla has been thoroughly infiltrated by the left. It's dead.

In this case, it seems like Google had startpage.com on the backburner all along, but even today startpage isn't very popular. But that's where Yahoo and Bing come in; not necessarily shell companies, but accomplices for sure.

Same here, but I'm not worried about my searches being biased way, I'm
worried about the affect that it has on all the Alans of the world.

Highly probable. There's more collusion than competition in that area.

I wouldn't worry about that. The Alans of the world can't think for themselves anyway. So biased or not, they would never accept search results that go counter to their false Narrative.
