Swedish author and famous pro-Ukraine blogger Lars Wilderäng (Cornucopia) reports today that the Swedish security expert Karl Emil Nikka has revealed that Kagi is using the Kremlin propaganda tool Yandex as a backend for searches.

Wilderäng speculates this might mean search terms are leaking to Russia, while others worry about how Kremlin thus can get their talking points into western search results.

Security expert Karl Emil Nikka tells us that the search engine Kagi, popular among tech geeks, uses Russian Yandex, which was introduced after the full-scale invasion. This, of course, gives Russia the opportunity to look at what is searched for via Kagi.

      I read about their questionable behavior somewhere so you should be able to look it up and see it yourself.

        I’ve heard equally unreliable narrators complain about consequences for their actions from a place of narcissism, yes.

          I always see unhinged folk making bad faith arguments or outright shit talk shriek about being banned from ml instances for “disagreeing” then turn around and cheer when .world bans you for linking a source or something.
