The head of Twitter said that he uses DuckDuckGo search instead of Google

It seems that Jack Dorsey is not a fan of the Google search engine. Founder and CEO of Twitter, who also leads mobile payments company Square, recently tweeted: "I love @DuckDuckGo. This has been my default search engine for a while now. The app is even better! DuckDuckGo account on microblogging social network after some time replied to Mr Dorsey: “Very good to hear that, @jack! Glad you're on the duck side" and then added a duck emoticon. It is worth noting that the "duck side" appeared not only because of the name of the service - this expression in English is also consonant with the "dark side" (Duck side and Dark side).

DuckDuckGo, founded in 2008 in the United States, is a search engine that prioritizes user privacy. The slogan of the service is "Privacy and Simplicity". The company opposes personalized search results and refuses to create profiles of its users or even use cookies. DuckDuckGo is an alternative to the Google search engine that aims to get as much information as possible about its users for targeted advertising.

DuckDuckGo also tries to return the most accurate results, not the most requested pages. Although in absolute terms, DuckDuckGo has a fairly high number of visits, the company's share of the search market is negligible compared to Google. The DuckDuckGo search engine is also available as an app on Google Play and the App Store.

This isn't the first time the tech giant has been criticized by Mr. Dorsey (well, Google didn't even come up this time). Facebook is also often the target of executive attacks. Several of Jack Dorsey's recent tweets have ridiculed Mark Zuckerberg's business - for example, earlier this month he indirectly poked fun at changing the logo of the largest social network, which included changing the lowercase letters to uppercase, writing: "Twitter... from TWITTER".

And in late October, the executive announced that Twitter would ban all political ads on its platform (however, he did not say how "political ads" would be defined). The executive did not mention the Facebook name at the time either, but it was clear to the public that this was a continuation of the controversy surrounding Facebook's policy of allowing political advertising on its platform.
