      I think we basically have to accept that every search engine sucks and is going to be politically biased by both the country it operates in, and the personal interests of whoever owns it, and just keep using what's available with suitable caution.

        Yup same as it ever was really just now people are saying it out loud instead of claiming impartiality.

        Be it security, search, or anything else on a computer assume that you're in non ideal circumstances because you are. Then act accordingly.

      You don't. Not well, anyways. Every action silicon valley takes is pushing more and more users to the only acceptable alternative: personally curated RSS feeds

      Yandex probably doesn't care enough about English language searches to manipulate them.

        No American or western based anything is "good", especially if it's got so much fancy marketing around it.
