S T.

I have been accessing a popular games website to play games. They limit you to six games a day. Up until a few weeks ago, I could log out and then log back in and play as many games per day as I liked, although due to other items on my schedule, I rarely played beyond the six games.

However, two to three weeks ago, all of a sudden, if I logged out and then back in, my earlier search was highlighted indicating that I had already accessed that site that day. So when I tried to play more games, I was informed that I had no plays left for the day.

I have tried rebooting my settings, opting out of and then back into Duckduckgo as my search engine. It makes absolutely no difference. The games website still shuts me out.

Perhaps not incidentally, my media device has recently been overwhelmed with advertisements to the point that I opt for "reader view" whenever it is offered as an option.

I called Duckduckgo at *******456 and a voice message informed me that I was being transferred to a "Google" voice messaging machine.

So I searched and sure enough, Google purchased Duckduckgo with the inevitable results that my searches are now being tracked. I am planning on calling the FCC.
