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.

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?
CC: @LizMcIntyre
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.
