#DuckDuckGone is trending on twitter after CEO tweets intentions to censor russian disinformation
DDG results have been feeling a little too curated for years now, and they've openly censored results since around the time of removing the scihub bang, which I thought was the first near-universally egregious example.
i did not know about that, that's a way more legit reason to go around saying "duck duck gone"
DDG has become popular with far right groups lately. So there's some good to come from this move.
Once again, the problem here is: disinformation according to whom? Themselves? The US government? NATO?
Maybe propublica? I think there are areas of gray and there are areas that are clear, and we can respect the former and take action on the latter without putting on joker makeup and descending into sophomoric relativism about the fundamental impossibility of ever knowing "the truth."
You guys are overreacting. DDG said they would only down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation. It's normal for search engines to downrank low-quality sites such as SEO spam.
