I have noticed the blocking of fr.

We used to use google and startpage to find things on FR but now they block almost all pages.

Hmm. On DDG, site:freerepublic.com "cynwoody" islam "jeremiah wright" returns eight hits. On Google, the same query returns nine.

But they are mostly different threads (thread IDs appearing on both SERPs are bolded):

DDG	Google
2014326 2016142 2544890 2587076 2694304 2694353 2872997 3489491	2016142 2021709 2276952 2689058 2694353 2723118 2872762 3259230 3678118

Go figure. It's clear both search engines have indexing problems with this site.

Thread 2016142, posted 14 May 2008, is titled "Jeremiah Wright Was a Muslim: Why That Matters." This GIF, which appears at the bottom of the thread, sums it up, implying that Obama is a Muslim:

One would think that, if Google is filtering content, such a thread would be high on the list of verboten topics. Instead, it is the "I'm feeling lucky" hit on both SERPs.
