carl You’re thinking of me, I think, but I’m not OP. I guess other people have problems with a company they admire and support financially doing business with Yandex and Russia.
Once again you argue that things are only black and white. “If you’re not serving on the front, nothing you do helps support Ukraine or its cause.” But this is not true, just as it is not true that Kagi has a moral pass to do business with a company funded and influenced by a terrorist state because “money gets there anyway in a global economy.” It’s very similar to the argument “companies will get my data anyway, so why not just use Google/Facebook/[insert other company here].”
This is a question of principles, and we, as Kagi supporters and customers, are hoping Kagi can align its principles with what’s right in this case, with what’s objectively morally right — vehemently and categorically against unprovoked violence and terror against the “humans” behind their “human internet.” Even without that, Kagi should find issue with working with Yandex who has consistently modified and skewed results and information according to the Kremlin’s whims. That isn’t a “free, human internet” either.
Edit: Granted, Google has also censored results in an attempt to combat bad/fake information to various levels of success. I don’t think equating the two is fair, though.
