Duck Duck Go used to present itself as an "uncensored" search engine, that was not messing with the search results. They wanted to be the reliable alternative to Google. But that illusion collapsed today as the owner (Gabriel Weinberg) publicly stated that they would down rank Russian sites. Now, before anyone starts calling me a Putin supporter, I'm not. I believe that with the recent actions in Ukraine, the Russian government has shown that they, just like NATO, are more concerned with their empire building than with human lives.
That said, I don't believe in censorship. At all. And we deserve a lot more than one-sided information. Do we suddenly trust only information coming from the Ukrainian government, a country that in 2012 was listed among the three most-corrupt nations of the world? I'm sick and tired of our internet being more and more controlled, and it needs to stop.
If any of you can suggest actual uncensored search engines, please reply below this post.
