Today, we share the difficult news that Presearch is shutting down, effective immediately.
To everyone who searched with us, operated a node, advertised, partnered with us, or supported our mission along the way, thank you. Your belief in independent, privacy-first search has meant more than words can express.
For more on why we made this incredibly difficult decision and what it means moving forward, please read our blog post linked below.
Thank you for being part of the Presearch journey. ๐

@BigBrotherWatch that's a 0.002% hit rate on a technology that permanently logs the biometric data of 54,999 innocent people
"mass suspicion" is exactly the right phrase. Presearch doesn't scan anything. ๐
@Anon7127 they redact their files. they classify their crimes. they hide behind NDAs and executive privilege ๐
meanwhile your license plate, your face, your searches, and your messages are all on file somewhere.
@ObviousRises THEIR privacy. not his. the surveillance is private from YOU but not FROM them ๐
they can build a file on everything you do but you can't even SEE it. Presearch collects NOTHING so there's nothing to deny you access to.
