The Duran ^ | April 27, 2022 | Eric Zuesse

Because it has become widely known that Google search-results exclude any find that proves the falsehood of the U.S. Government’s key allegations regarding international relations (such as the U.S. Government’s allegation that Ukraine’s Government is not controlled by racist fascists or “nazis” as it actually is and has been ever since February 2014), many researchers have started using other search-engines, such as DuckDuckGo, which advertises on America’s neoconservative liberal National Public Radio (NPR) network as being an alternative to Google. However, on March 9th, DuckDuckGo’s CEO & Founder, Gabriel Weinberg, issued a tweet saying “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create. #StandWithUkraine. At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.”

There was immediate blowback from researchers who hate Google because it does what DuckDuckGo had just admitted there that DuckDuckGo ALSO does: filter out information that the U.S. Government doesn’t want the public to know (such as that Ukraine’s nazis control Ukraine and are backed by the U.S. Government).

So, Weinberg quickly followed up with “In addition to down-ranking sites associated with disinformation, we also often place news modules and information boxes at the top of DuckDuckGo search results (where they are seen and clicked the most) to highlight quality information for rapidly unfolding topics.” ...

I just presumed this was the case already.
Aren’t there already default systems set up in case somebody uses certain questionable words or phrases?
I think so, mostly since 9/11.

Can you provide a single example of a search result Google is excluding that you can find in those other browsers?

Yep. So you think the government controls SEO rankings on every single search engine. At least I know why the IRS still hasn’t processed my 2020 return.

Russian propaganda. Can’t be true because Putin owns everything and anyone going against what Big Gov/Big Media/Big Tech says has been bought off by Putin!

Obviously the author is a Russian propagandist. As the Nazi angle is Russian-speak for all hated enemies.

Google started from nothing. So someone on the conservative side should be able to start their own.

I have been using the Brave search engine since DuckDuckGo has revealed itself as a censoring website. I don't know much about it but it seems not to exclude conservative or patriotic content from its searches

A practical tip for working around Big Tech burying of search results they don’t like:

Do a standard search.

Look at the common propaganda words in all the mainstream media articles.

Redo the search with a minus sign in front of those keywords.

That is how to break the evil spell.

Maybe Twitter could set up its own web search engine?

“Twitter Search”?
