Journalist Derrick Broze explains what it means to opt out of the Big Tech control grid, from search engines and operating systems to phones, food systems, and even travel. He shares what he saw firsthand as independent outlets got downranked, demonetized, and labeled “disinformation,” forcing sites to shut down and writers to disappear from mainstream discovery.
We talk about why privacy and liberty are inseparable, how parallel systems actually work in practice, and why tools like Presearch matter if you care about discovery outside the algorithmic funnel.

https://Presearch.com is a private search engine that helps you discover more. Search freely without being tracked, profiled, or manipulated. It’s the alternative to Google built for privacy, freedom, and more meaningful discovery.
How traditional search limits what you find:
Most search engines track you, sharing your IP address and behavior data with ad networks that build profiles, adjust prices, and decide what you see online. Presearch blocks these systems entirely — encrypting your traffic, removing trackers, and protecting open, uncensored access to information through a decentralized network.
Instead of one company controlling search, Presearch runs on independent computers around the world, keeping your searches private and results unfiltered.
