Did "Duck Duck go" sell out as well?
Http://me.com ^ | Me

Posted on 10/29/2020 3:17:53 PM PDT by mikelets456

I have been trying to search a few things lately on Duck duck go and every link that comes up is radical left wing propaganda sites and usually bashes what I'm searching for....for example I was searching "threats to Amy coney Barrett" and everything that comes up says she's a threat. Thoughts? Other search engines?

Use a different search word than threat. It thinks you WANT to threaten HER. Reminds me of the joke about a wonder machine that claimed it”d translate english into russian, and then back into english. So the english phrase “Out of sight, out of mind” was sent, and apparently arrived in russia OK. But when the same phrase, in russian, came back, the machine spit out: “Blind! Crazy”!

“was also wondering about duckduckgo this afternoon when I was searching and it was as strange as searching the same on google.”


I use DDG, and I know that among the various search engines that it uses (according to Wikipedia) “... are a compilation of “over 400” sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Bing, Yandex, its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot) and others.”

If all or most of those sources are, themselves, biased and censored via their algorithms like Google is, then so will be the DDG results - with the only benefit being the privacy in your searches that they promise.

You are searching for keyword: threat; and keyword ACB. So you will find stories about those words - what did you expect?

Duck Duck Go simply aggregates queries across search engines, there seems to be general misunderstanding i.e. they do not have their own crawlers etc

What’s the old saying, you can squeeze blood out of a turnip. The scripted media is not allowing anything to be published that does not fit the narrative and search engines are only gonna pull from what is being published.

If 99% of what is published is negative, then I would expect that 99% of the results will be as well. Just my opinion.

Because Gibiru produces results and doesn't seem to have the censorship problems of the other search tools.

It also protects your privacy.

Duck Duck Go is not a search engine. They simply anonymize your info and get the results from other search engines link Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. and present the results to you.

"Out of sight, out of mind" usually auto-translates <–> Russian as "invisible idiot."
