That "politics and tech" thread made me trust Kagi more, not less.

Didn't know that. Kagi has been added to never touch pile.

i honestly don't see much different between this and for example using windows whilst Microsoft is providing the compute that powers the ongoing genocide in Gaza. I Observe the BDS boycot by not giving MS money directly but avoiding all the companies that use Microsoft would be kinda ridiculous

Is it partnership or do they just simply use yandex as a data-feed among many other sources?

It's refreshing to see that the Kagi founder isn't on a political correctness crusade and chooses to focus on product.

What does waging wars and committing war crimes have to do with political correctness? Please help me understand. Besides, Kagi is heavily politicized, their moto is "humanize the web". Can't really see how one can be for humanizing the web when they have no problems financing regimes that dehumanize actual humans.

Yandex is connected to Russia's government similarly to how Google/Microsoft/Amazon/etc are connected to US's government, and perhaps Israel's government. Should he stop dealing with those companies too?

There is no such thing as being apolitical. "Just focusing on the product" is implicitly supporting the status quo.

Hope you don't use any Google/Amazon products or any product that uses Google/Amazon products then.
