Thank you google

It is google ads who put up the atrocious 'tip of a flat belly' / amazing health cure advertised by total retard who wants nothing but your credit card..

Should google actually vet who they work with rather then scraping the barrel of the net to get adwords $$$ ??

Should google be more careful?

they need more companies like this -
www.fab.com/

And no more like this
http://ukhealthjournal.com/diet-raspberry/?s=t - A lie, a con , buy mint tea its costs 80p and works better ...

if I worked at google .... (fat chance) they would loose there contract as soon as I figured out how to turn my computer on!

bump they're still using there trash ads, and google just shared my details with a random stranger in circles... bing just got made my homepage... google is too big for its boots, it has no respect for its customers, just spoon feeds as much advertising as possible

and there dodging tax in the uk... putting all there money through ireland

Use start page. It uses google search engine and gives you the results so google doesn't monitor you.

Yeah, Google is very slick. They recently claimed on their search engine that they are for privacy from the NSA. They monitor every website you search for on their search engine to target you with specific trash ads. More hypocrisy.

given some multi nationals pay for these ads, the company paying for the ugly bogus health claim ads must be paying a fortune to place an add no one is likely to respond too. All the more reason to trust google even less, that is suspicious don't you think?

it must be pointed out if you are using google in the UK the profits will be laundered through Ireland.

Bing - Bill Gates has given all his money to good causes and makes a real effort to post nice pictures.

the stupid ads are still there google is clearly a company that does not give a monkeys about being intrusive..

in these 'prism' times that's bad, the govt spying is a good thing but google trashing my laptop with lame ads sold as some hi tec solution is not.

If I worked for bing I would point out to clients google will put your ad next to trash, we won't... that's a good sales pitch for bing I think.

there is something rotten about these ads, if they are that lax with adverts how lax are they with search???

They have the audacity to put up a little box saying 'ad choices' only when they have managed to put up the one ad that is not lame / offensive. Off course you have no choice what so ever about the offensive ones

They should put a little box saying '#### you' it would be more honest. I hope this part of there business goes bust. RHP is a good place to a ...[text shortened]... ompanies that advertise on here and try to cut out ad words. It would be better for both.

No PRISM. No Surveillance. No Government Back Doors. You Have our Word on it.
Giant US government Internet spying scandal revealed

The Washington Post and The Guardian have revealed a US government mass Internet surveillance program code-named "PRISM". They report that the NSA and the FBI have been tapping directly into the servers of nine US service providers, including Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL and Skype, and began this surveillance program at least seven years ago. (clarifying slides)

These revelations are shaking up an international debate.

Ixquick has always been very outspoken when it comes to protecting people's Privacy and civil liberties. So it won't surprise you that we are a strong opponent of overreaching, unaccountable spy programs like PRISM. In the past, even government surveillance programs that were begun with good intentions have become tools for abuse, for example tracking civil rights and anti-war protesters.

Programs like PRISM undermine our Privacy, disrupt faith in governments, and are a danger to the free Internet.

Ixquick and its sister search engine StartPage have in their 14-year history never provided a single byte of user data to the US government, or any other government or agency. Not under PRISM, nor under any other program in the US, nor under any program anywhere in the world. We are not like Yahoo, Facebook, Google, Apple, Skype, or the other US companies who got caught up in the web of PRISM surveillance.

Here's how we are different:

Ixquick does not store any user data. We make this perfectly clear to everyone, including any governmental agencies. We do not record the IP addresses of our users and we don't use tracking cookies, so there is literally no data about you on our servers to access. Since we don't even know who our customers are, we can't share anything with Big Brother. In fact, we've never gotten even a single request from a governmental authority to supply user data in the fourteen years we've been in business.

Ixquick uses encryption (HTTPS) by default. Encryption prevents snooping. Your searches are encrypted, so others can't "tap" the Internet connection to snoop what you're searching for. This combination of not storing data together with using strong encryption for the connections is key in protecting your Privacy.

Our company is based in The Netherlands, Europe. US jurisdiction does not apply to us, at least not directly. Any request or demand from ANY government (including the US) to deliver user data, will be thoroughly checked by our lawyers, and we will not comply unless the law which actually applies to us would undeniably require it from us. And even in that hypothetical situation, we refer to our first point; we don't even have any user data to give. We will never cooperate with voluntary spying programs like PRISM.

Ixquick cannot be forced to start spying. Given the strong protection of the Right to Privacy in Europe, European governments cannot just start forcing service providers like us to implement a blanket spying program on their users. And if that ever changed, we would fight this to the end.

Privacy. It's not just our policy, it's our mission.

Sincerely,

Robert E.G. Beens
CEO Ixquick.com and StartPage.com
