RE: Google Gags Employee Whistleblowers, Even From Internal Communication With Coworkers.
I know it's hard to get away from google completely. They control many parts of the internet. But, I just started using this other search engine called Ecosia.
Apparently, every time you make a search with it, money goes towards planting trees around the world (80% of their profits they claim). There is a little counter in the top corner after installing the extension in chrome (a google product) which tells you how many trees you've helped plant from your searches.
Google is our one true supreme overlord, gag orders makes that very scary for me. The tree things sounds cool, I bet they are a "google search partner" and that is where the "profits" are coming from. Not sure how much work you have done in adwords but that makes sense to me.
blocked from work...
There are lots of good alternatives now:
Pitfalls: avoid startpage unless you really want to see google search results. Avoid duckduckgo, unless you think their support of cloudflare (a tor adversary) is a good thing. DDG is also partnered with yahoo/verizon (very privacy-hostile conglomerate).
Wow, you seem to know your stuff. Followed.
