I've been trying different search engines and was pleasently surprised by startpage so i started looking into startmail too and then when i searched for startmail i saw they have a link directly to their dan bongino section https://www.startmail.com/bongino so thats a huge pass from me

for those who dont know he’s a very conservative podcast host whos now the FBI deputy director who pushed the conspiracy theory that trump actually won the 2020 election and rallied against face masks and “In 2018, Bongino said, “My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That’s it.”” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bongino

I've been using startpage and had no idea about this... Thanks for the post!

What does "owning the libs" even mean? and he went from podcaster to FBI deputy director, what?!

Edit

they have a link directly to their dan bongino section

That's not a section, I got worried there for a second..(I thought he's an investor of some sort) That's an affiliate link section, he gets a commission for spreading the word that Startpage exists.. It's up to you if you wanna look at it as just business or something else.. I think everyone deserves privacy even the Bonjino audience

I'd be surprised if this was more than him signing up for an affiliate marketing link and driving traffic to the site.

But I agree. He's fascist mentally-ill trash, and no respectable business should be associated with him in any way.
