Do your experiments, search for the most random thing, and it will show up in Insta

How about you do experimentation, then share anything to support your claim.
I suggest to stop using Instagram, also if you are concerned about it, DDG is US based, you may find other alternatives online.
And your sure it’s not Instagram/meta capturing data on the browser or whatever you use for ddg. Do you block all cookies. Have your devices been profiled or is the website you click on selling data to meta. Are you logged in on the same device. Are you inspecting traffic and seeing meta traffick when on ddg while not on insta
I’m not saying ddg would not sell your data but this would torpedo there whole selling point. You could describe the task you have done to mask your identity and then what you suspect they are doing.
Goes against https://duckduckgo.com/privacy which is basically also their main selling point. If they don’t have that, they have nothing. So… FUD until you do have data. You clearly did run an experiment, show us the proof.
Some things that happen when I go to duckduckgo.com that also go against that:
- Harvesting the third-party cookies it can (example: github.com)
- Attempting to enumerate browser extensions
- Attempting to enumerate crypto wallet addresses from extension wallets like MetaMask
It’s extremely nosy. They used to do canvas fingerprinting until browsers started prompting about it.
IDK about the claim of directly selling searches to IG and likely it’s a bit more convoluted than that (or OP has malware) but it’s a more believable idea than that of DDG actually being respectful of user privacy. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for DDG to gather this data for the purpose of providing their search service, yet they do.
I believe you’re talking absolute nonsense.
That’s 1-1, no clear winner as of yet.
Ddg is a proxy for Bing which is owned by Microsoft. Let that sink in.
hmmmmm…
spoiler
Not saying you are a fucktard OP, it was a random selection as you directed. I don’t see any evidence of IG. Not saying that DDG couldn’t or wouldn’t sell your data, but I find no evidence of such given your vague criteria. You’ll probably have to open the image in a new window.
