This seems fine and I'm not anti-onesearch or anti-Verizon in particular, but why do you feel that DDG is "fly by night"? Because they're small?

I think more Americans have been scammed by Verizon, Comcast, or AT&T than have ever even heard of DuckDuckGo! I have plenty of tiny class-action settlement checks to prove it.

Because they're not public. If they ever got exposed violating privacy the owner would just declare bankruptcy and move to the Bahamas.

By that logic, if Verizon was ever caught violating privacy we would not be able to keep it accountable because it's too large to fail.
