DuckDuckGo is now down-ranking sites associated with Russian disinformation in response to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, but some critics say the change amounts to censorship.
DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg announced the down-ranking on Twitter. “Like so many others I am sickened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the gigantic humanitarian crisis it continues to create,” he wrote in the tweet, which included the hashtag StandWithUkraine.

no such thing as disinformation or misinformation.. there is propaganda n a person needs to pay attention over 8 years to discern what’s going on. He needs a good source of information from both sides in order to discern. One side does not tell the story.. Hire a good investigative journalist to find the true story before cutting off the nose… Tech can sure be used as a weapon these days. Sad!
