DuckDuckGo Reaches 30 Million Searches, While VPNs Are Used by 25% of Internet Users

Image
DuckDuckGo, a private search engine, has just reached a record number of searches. NordVPN comments on the increasing need for more privacy Online privacy is becoming harder to find– Facebook gathers users’ data to sell to third parties, Google tracks everyone’s searches, ISPs in many countries gather communication data, and governments are increasingly demanding backdoor access to encrypted devices. In the latest scandal, Google exposed the data of 500,000 Google+ users and didn’t disclose it. Internet users are becoming aware that they lack basic privacy and cannot be sure that the information they share online will not be sold, leaked, hacked or stolen. Private data is used to build user profiles that can then be sold to marketers and other third parties - and it’s all perfectly legal.

Image
Dr. Beverly Wright of Aspirent Talks about how Data Science Has Changed By Dr. Beverly Wright In 1989, I took my first decision sciences course, and started coding in SAS at the age of 20. I greatly enjoyed pulling discoveries buried within mounds of data, although and even small datasets had many discoveries back then. At the root of every model I’ve built, even the simplest, was a solid understanding and foundational rigor of statistical theory. When computing simple statistics or developing descriptive models, I thought through the math behind the model and how this would impact the formation, application, and interpretation. It was about 30 years ago when I started my decision sciences journey, and I’m still applying techniques and building models to empirically solve problems, answer questions, overcome challenges that improve, reduce error, or otherwise benefit a situation. Over the past three decades, I’ve noticed trends and shifts, an evolution of sorts, in the foun
