From the ruling:

> Google will have to make available to Qualified Competitors certain search index and user-interaction data, though not ads data, as such sharing will ... The court, however, has narrowed the datasets Google will be required to share to tailor the remedy to its anticompetitive conduct.

I don't like the sound of that.

> Google will not be required to share granular, query-level data with advertisers or provide them with more access to such data

This eases some of my concerns.

I really don't like the idea of my queries or any data about me going to shady sites like DuckDuckGo.

What's shady about DuckDuckGo?

And specifically, are they any worse than google or bing?
