Kagi doesn't store your search history currently.
The only thing we can do is vote with our wallet if we see that they have lied all the way.
This will only lead us to Russel's teapot [0].
BTW, their current privacy policy is at [1].
and i doubt mean a non biding privacy policy. heck metabook and google both always had one saying the same thing
And you cannot really confirm the above use case very well. What if it is so sophisticated that it knows when it is being monitored, or it is so random or well hidden, that it might take years to spot.
We are just doomed.
Is there an enforceable claim that Kagi will never store such info?
The making an account for searching linked to govt-verifiable payment and ID data, however ephemerally, is also a high bar for me (and for women in the US with the incoming administration's focus on over-regulating pregnancy outcomes, holy fork NO)
If the government really wanted to, they can just get SSL private keys from CAs and decrypt all the traffic no matter who you search with, anyway. It's probably only a matter of time...
