And they could be under a gag order nobody would ever know.

This sounds a little tinfoil-hat-y but I don't really know what I'm talking about.

It was done in the past for larger US based businesses. I don't see why it couldn't be done with DDG.

Also, if your businesses is under a gag order the most logical thing to do is to act like nothing is happening. Because for DDG privacy IS the product. They don't have better results than Google they are trying to differentiate through privacy (or the appearance of privacy).
