The rhetoric of the right has shown time and time again that they will use disinformation and misinformation to conform their gullible audience towards whatever views suit their needs. Humanity continues to confirm his remarkable susceptible to this practice. This form of deceitful expression is not the ‘free speech’ a society should tolerate and why fact checking entities need to exist with the power to shutdown this discourse.

I would say the real issue is transparency. If Honey made it clear that their product overwrote the affiliate links referer, didn’t actually find the best deals (despite advertising that exact thing), and then paid influencers to advertise their product that also steals from them, then this wouldn’t be as much of a big deal if at all. Though they also probably wouldn’t be a successful business, hence why many consider it a scam.

They use many sources, including other search engines and specific websites, but also claim to use two of their own indexes.
Jackoamon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Perplexity, not Google, is now the best search engineEnglish1·7 months agoCan’t say much in regards to perplexity, but I find kagi’s index to be quite nice. Especially if you find fortune forum posts helpful (which I do as a software dev). It’s paid only, so there’s no advertising incentive to the company and also a ton of configuration. I search a lot, so I went with the 10 dollar plan. 5 bucks gets you 300 searches a month, 10 is unlimited plus access to their LLM which documents information sources like perplexity.
Personally, I found perplexity to be quite annoying with the more ai focused UI and trying to learn your interests. Kagi is a search engine first plus some other features they’re developing.
You mean the pointless political charade to try and make trump look good as he proceeds to further enable and promote the genocide?
