DuckDuckGo CEO: "we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation."

Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create. #StandWithUkraine️

At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.

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.

Recovering from a nasty case of Gates, Fauci, Depopulation Virus (aka “Covid”) gave this nearly exhausted 82 year-old curmudgeon time to consider how to best advance the individual liberty for which he’s fought for over 50+ of those years.
I kept returning to the well known concept that the replacement of one idea for another requires a minimum of 7 exposures to a new one. It’s the same process the leftist media uses to keep us from drifting back into - for them & their globalist oligarch overlords - dangerous late 1700 thoughts of the sort that moved 56 brave men to defy a King and establish this place on concepts we have now foolishly abandoned. The abandonment of those concepts will be little noted by the 30 something Marxists coming behind us as they were never taught them.
The plan?
I’ve been reviewing most of my library of admittedly unprofessional “home’ videos and believe they are simple enough to possibly “reach” some of the less intensely “INDOCTRINATED” thirty somethings who, after 2 years of living under the ever-tightening noose of the Marxism they were brainwashed to worship, may now be questioning if we CAN stop before we reach Stalin’s Russia.
I’ll be randomly sending this cover email with 1 or 2 links to some of those ‘home” videos. (There WILL be RANDOM REPEATS: The 7 IMPRESSIONS CONCEPT.)
Pass them along or delete them as the spirit moves you.
Hope you have all survived the latest attempt to capture or kill those still resisting. Those efforts have only begun: They still have 5 BILLION of us to “dispatch”.

Who plays Gd of What is Disinformation????

Duly note that the Founders, in their quest for freedom of the press, never deigned to put any form of information above any other.

Coffee may be freely spoken about as harmful or healthy. So should any subject. They were quite aware that some at the time might have been for polygamy, slavery, or against dancing, drinking, card playing. People might advertise brothels or asceticism.

Freedom of the press means NO ONE is Lord of the Truth. Each mind decides for itself whether to believe what is written.

DDG is getting absolutely clobbered over on Twitter. Is hard to imagine what a bone-headed move this was for their company.

DuckDuckGo is basically Bing results......so even though its independent technically, its basically Microsoft.

I’d recommend Brave Search. Its truly independent and they don’t manipulate the search results.

And where does the Brave browser get there search engine information?

I’m so tired of having to avoid using anything from the left, because they own just about everything!

"What about Ukrainian disinformation?
The noble, righteous Ukrainians...."

You mean the alleged Nazis in Ukraine?

Nah, Nazis have never used disinformation (See: Goebbels, Joseph Third Reich).

They supposedly get their own - the guy who started Brave was also one of the founders of FireFox

My thoughts exactly...

Have been with them since day #1...

Disinformation is none of their business...

Search users will decide what to do with, or to use searched information...

Thought police on the left of us...
Thought police on the right of us...
Thought police everywhere among us...

The DDG life-raft has sunk to the bottom of the cesspool with the Google, Bing, etc, search engines...

gibiru also shows you the links that the other engines would have censored.

So, there is an “ALL” tab and a “Censored” tab.
