That’s an old rant: woukd you trust US services after the NSA scandal? All govs are s**t today
I guess that depends on which power your agenda aligns with. That power is generally a safe choice, compared to services from a power where your agenda is orthogonal.
Search with Google, it will show you news from FOX and CNN, apart it’s not the same if the Kremlin spy you or the NSA, last one affect you directly, the KGB won’t visit you for a Lemmy post. These guys aren’t even interested in a Western drug deal. Apart, Yandex has by far the best and most complete image search engine of all others, seen, using an extension front-end Yandex is problematic for Rusian people, like Google for the West.
American services at least do not hide or lie about war crimes in their search engines and services and do not play along with Russian propaganda
What? They totally do. Look at all the US propaganda about the Vietnam war, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, and the destruction of civilian lives in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Or the anti-communist propaganda, destruction of communist and socialist communities, and murders by the US government of those who threaten to make a better world for the people. Look at all the instances of the US overthrowing foreign governments, the US interventionist policy that lead to them overthrowing the democratically elected socialist government of Chile as they back a military coup.
US search engines hide the truth on all this shit. They don’t outright block it, but they make it difficult to find, if they list it at all.
On Google, you can at least search for information about Vietnam or Iraq, and Google will give you articles about these crimes as well. If you search for the Bucha massacre or the bombing of Mariupol in Yandex, for example, you will find nothing, or propaganda that the Russians did nothing.
