       Does your search engine’s name begin with B, D or G? It’s ethical score is at best “average” and at worst “poor”. @ethicalconsumer took a look and weren’t impressed.Have you taken a look?Check out the search engine starting with M. You’re supporting the top scoring ethical option which quietly leads on privacy protection, the climate, tax conduct etc. https://www.mojeek.com#mojeek #search #searchengine #bigtech #alternatives #ethics

       @Mojeek @ethicalconsumer I use this search engine. Sometimes it gives the results you expect. Often it’s easily fooled by AI slop farms.Provided you’re willing to sift through several pages of webslop you might actually find a relevant link.

       @Mojeek @ethicalconsumer I couldn't find a policy on your website about so-called 'AI'. I don't want to use anything that partakes in plagiarism on a planet-melting scale. Can you tell me anything about Mojeek's policy in this regard? I'm already using an ethical search engine, I don't want to switch if there might be 'AI' in your future.I see you talk about greener data centres and not tracking users, but that doesn't mean you don't or won't use AI.

       @Rhube We do indeed offer AI summaries however these are distinctly different as they're opt-in (secondary to core search function), not automatically generated (so it’s your choice), up to ten sources with publisher links (so information is transparent), displayed word-for-word (with no modification) and no monitoring, interpretation or mediation.Also, we have independent technology whereas many alternative search engines are dependent on Google/Bing data centres and privacy policies.

       @Mojeek Ah, that sucks. Totally unethical, then. Sorry to hear it.
