In case anyone finds here, but not the discussion, it's in two places https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1409#issuecomment-542506807 and our forum before the WIP (don't merge/PR) label gets removed and anything happens with this PR.
With luck I think we may even be able to close this issue and not delist Startpage, but it's too early to say.

If we end up delisting StartPage, we should also remove the asset (https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/blob/master/assets/img/provider/StartPage.png)

Thanks, done
I also fixed the merge conflict and removed the WIP label, even while I am not sure if a concensus was reached, I am ~10 days behind on everything.
@privacytoolsIO/editorial Can we merge this? Or does @blacklight447-ptio want to suggest changes to add a note to explain the situation?

Hi @Mikaela @blacklight447-ptio I believe something should be posted to note the removal. I'm thinking a short comment is best. Here's the latest I recommended in the discussion thread:
The Startpage search engine is de-listed until it is fully transparent about its new ownership and data processing.
People can click the link to get the details.
I believe that once PrivacytoolsIO recommends a service, it should indicate that a service is removed and why it is removed. This will help alert those who use a recommended service that has lost trust. How else might they know?
A press release and other media might also be a good idea because some people might not return to see a warning.
@privacytoolsIO/editorial & @LizMcIntyre, please rereview changes at https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/1410/files + consider can we merge it.
I have no comment on the rest at the moment.
Also, I think it would look better if the warning text wasn't in the middle of the cards but rather at the bottom of the cards
Yeah, I agree; the warning in the middle does look a bit odd.
Tbh, do we want the post delisting on the website now? It goes a bit against what we normally do, i would personally opt to just remove it, and put out a small blog post.
You’re right, that would make more sense overall I think.
Trai comments:
So should I:

?I would just remove startpage, add nothing else, then publish a blog explaining the removal.
That could work, too. Less disruptive to the flow and tradition, as pointed out.
