In the olden days this would be akin to picking up a redacted Yellow Pages phone directory.
Comrades, the Ministry of Public Information, DuckDuckGo Division, is making modifications to the internet search engine results in order to protect us from dis-information, mis-information and mal-information. Wrongthinking perspectives will no longer be acceptable.

Thx for highlighting this news, SD.
So many people use/used this search engine because they supposedly *didn’t* do this.
Wonder if they are traded company?
Some alternatives suggested to me on gab.com
https://metager.org/
https://www.virtualmirage.org/gibiru/
Thanx, I’ll check them out.
Well, we need our own search engine too. ASAP?
Agree. That’s the trouble with conservatives. Always playing defense.
That is our whole problem…..conservatives never fight for what they want….just ‘let go’. Done.
Got the error code for a couple of my stored food suppliers all day today. Then I see this. But error codes not letting me into sites I’ve signed up for and/or having been using for years.
so, now they’re censoring our ability to store food.
Blocking, blinding, herding, corralling, canceling.
These are those eager for the imposition of Digital Identities so they can erase the uncompliant with a keystroke or simply upon the whim of an AI Algorithm.
All Your Existence Are Belong To Us.
If not already done, it is no longer allowed….. for us to buy and store food……if we can find what we want.
Have you tried Azure?
Lots of grains, beans, etc. in bulk. Not an overt “prepper” company.
Let the lawsuits commence! Yet another class action Lawsuit.
The March towards corporate fascism continues. They have de personed the entire country of Russia. The next step is any nation that doesn’t kowtow to the agenda devour they won’t need war as a pretext. Look for countries like Israel Hungary etc to get hit not if but when. They can’t de person US states yet but I’m sure they’ll find an avenue and then it’s all political opposition.
I found the best, most private and neutral search engine is Qwant. Based in France.
DuckDuckGone….deleted!
Styx has a good take on this:

The curtain is falling. There is only one reason they’re doing it: making sure Marco Rubio’s false flag isn’t debunked. WHY are Republican legislators on the side of all this crap?!
If we get into this as a war, it must be known as Marco Rubio World War III.
Many Republican legislators are in the pocket of the Globalists and China, etc.
There aren’t many actual Republicans left in the party.
We have Epic and Brave still. There are others.
Komodo Dragon.
I use them all.
Bye bye Duck Duck Gone!
Is Startpage ok?
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Sundance. DuckDuckGone
Uninstalled……
Time to write another check to Gab.
I have no doubt that the propaganda control that has been extended to DDG is related to govt payments just like the ones doled out to the enemedia to endorse the poisonous vax. DDG sold out. I hope DDG is planning to use that money to make up for the difference in eyeballs because I would bet they just lost quite a few users. I’m done. No more searches from me.
Another one bites the dust bye bye duckduckgo
Goodbye Duck Duck Go !
Thanks to the good Treepers below, I just tried Qwant. It seems to work well.
So I am deleting Duck Duck Go.
Get woke, go broke !
DuckDuck Go is no longer on my list………Just removed it just like I did Google several years ago. Guess I’ll have to find another one…..NOBODY should be able to say what we should look up and how we should put our words. Nobody.
If it walks like a Duck, and it talks like a Duck, then it probably is a Duck.
Flaked out again……..dirty bastards.
Tweet didn’t age well…
Get woke, go broke!
DuckDuckGo is BING w/ tracking disabled USE BRAVE SEARCH https://search.brave.com/
Just dumped Mozilla and Duck Duck Go… Going Brave
foreword: when I google search “clinton involved in steele dossier”…what I get is a top list that is decidedly single laned to disinform about the clinton and dnc effort to malign through manufactured deceit.
with that foreword as a preable, consider this:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/03/to-help-ukraine-google-rolls-out-air-raid-alerts-system-for-android/
Smartphone-based air raid alerts are one of the many awful facts of life in Ukraine right now. While the Ukrainian government has an air raid warning system that currently runs through a third-party app, Google is taking it upon itself to build an “Air Raid Alerts” system directly into Android. The company outlined the decision on the Google Blog:
”
pretty words.
but I will remind…google products are deliberately engineered to position a very carefully nuanced content. AI and machine learning included. These are radical communistos who design these products. And many of them are supporters of the great reset and CCP agenda which are both very financially rewarding…professionally and in a network way.
what happens when people get “addicted” to notifications from software?
we don’t need to guess. Exhibits: facebook “news”….wikipedia “contributors”…etc.
what happens when google decides NOT TO ALERT air raid warnings, due to “technical difficulties”? (e.g, they realize like US and foreign oil giants that aiding Russia is more profitable than trying to compete against it?)
another win for CCP/google.
it’s the little things.
if you want to KNOW the best way to predict when an air attack/raid is going to happen, then adjust your meter and just assume it will come at any hour in a war conflict zone. There is no easy of accurate way to determine when artillery adjustments happen, or when war planes are given enroute vectors.
google “tries” to solve real world problems.
when I say that technology is a very bad idea, I literally mean it in the way that the unibomber did …ted kazinzki.
he COULD SEE the future…He understood, primarily the futility of reliance on technology and what it means to the human spirit and intuition and creativity.
I am NOT supporting unibomber agendas. I am saying we can learn alot about a genius who distilled out the futurism and bad veneer of transhumanism.
for what it is worth….just my opinion…
the intellectuals have recorded their grievances…some have done more than just write them down.
God Bless America
as a friendly reminder, for every google product ever put into real world production, there are 8 products that have failed miserably. (this is a fact, not opinion). Google operates on steroids the maxim of “break things fast”.
what could go wrong with this latest “venture”…..other than playing fast and loose with deliberately alerting false air raids or not responding at all to “key” air raids?
subversion.
how would that be possible? Let me give a real world example that is very relavant. Google has attempted to “predict” earthquakes, using android based products that had embedded accelerometers. The idea is that if they can get real time data from thousands of devices in an area, they can attempt to predict a large seismic event. (there is “some” science that argues this is possible).
real world.. these same accelerometers cannot distinguish between earthquakes and things like moderate impacts…phones dropping…hard hits…acceleration/deceleration commonly caused by things like elevators, excalators, vibrations in industrial settings..etc.
the way to “defeat” air raid alerts using the same seismic accelerometer method is simply to stake mortar and artillery in the area…and the alert is always too late to predict the next sort of battery.
or…you just get pro-russian forces in country to use thousands of android devices and “trigger” them all at or around the same time to give a false reading..in a different area to create confusion.
ultimately this “product” from google is unlikely to be useful…and it may certainly lead to a dependency along with “problems” that cause more harm than good.
“do no harm”…
Does anyone really understand why google decided to abandon that motto?
I do.
they are attempting to use software/hardware/technology that is inadequte to solve real world issues. Usually with more harm than good.
Lets pretend for example that controlling power consumptions is a good thing…that it can actually mitigate against climate change. Let’s just pretend.
Does anyone KNOW how much energy google consumes in a given year for their entire end to end demand?
it’s not a trivial amount of energy. It’s the equivalent of 3 european countries..major european countries.
it’s the equivalent of 80 percent of all the energy in every form of it consumed by the state of texas.
let that sink in.
all the power in the world does not lend itself to success of effectiveness.
intelligence is a rare priceless commodity….I can eat 5 burgers a week and solve hundreds of thousands of dollars of energy issues.
God has blessed each and every one of us with the most powerful ability that has no equal.
when we find and discover how to “CHURCH” this and organize….
then we transfer power, and stage 4 happens.
who will lead the way out of the desert?
the one who is most unlikely to want the responsibility.
History.
Thank you for posting all that. Very scary/fascinating, and good reminder of what God gave us as individuals.
That would mean that every time one of those scary loud planes from Cherry Point NC (I’m in the practice flight path and around here that’s called, “the sound of freedom”….yeah, right) flies over my house or when Camp Lejeune NC starts practicing blowing up ordinances (which sometimes rattles the windows), Google would incorrectly think that is an earthquake.
And goodness gracious, they’ve been flying over this house constantly today. Makes you think those planes are going to land or crash on the roof.
An individual does get use to it, but I doubt Google would. So stupid and idiotic to waste money and energy on. Google is the one which needs to go away.
Bye Duck.
You may now join the long list of pathetic loser virtue signaling companies I kick to the curb.
I use Dissenter as my browser and Startpage as my search engine. Thanks for the info letting us know that DuckDuck is truly a canard. (In French, canard is the word for duck, yuk, yuk).
Well, I’m ducking out on DuckDuckGo.
But wait, there’s more. The “Nudge” act
https://jonathanturley.org/2022/03/07/tech-trojan-horse-how-the-senate-is-poised-to-codify-censorship-of-social-media/
Turley is a what I would call a moderate Demon-rat.
However, we all know the censorship lobbyists wrote this so called Nudge Act, not the senators mentioned because they don’t do their jobs, let alone write legislation, he still doesn’t pull away from censorship completely.
This world is getting so screwed up and the House and Senate is a big part of the problem. I hate them all too.
I’m doing Brave as well, so far so good.
brave has some interesting new functions. I am looking at it very closely. Things that relate to “persistent” tracking technologies.
I can’t put my recommendation either way just yet, but what I have read so far is very interesting.
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/03/brave-has-a-plan-to-stymie-websites-that-override-your-privacy-settings/
this for reference. (noting: I do not agree with conde naste or ars technica writers who subscribe to a patently left radical idealology…but their technical writers are very good and usually well ahead of any other outlets related to the latest developments in tech and security and privacy.)
I switched to DDG cuz they were supposed to be the “free-think” alternative to Google, etc. Sheesh!
DuckDuckGone baby…
Thank you for suggesting Brave. The duck waddled away as soon as I read this. Imagine their shock as so many leave them! Quacks!
I Use Yandex As A Backup To Brave Search
I see the same thing on Brave or DDG. I’ll stay on DDG
The only browser you stand somewhat of a chance of getting a “less” filtered search is BING, interestingly enough. ALL the rest port through Google like Brave, Duck Duck Go, etc
The second they started their big advertisement blitz I knew DDG was comped. Zero surprise, I was just curious what issue they were going to drop the mask on.
I am finished with DuckDuckGo. I don’t need yet another big tech propagandist on my screen.
What on earth makes these people believe they they have such superior powers of discernment that they should decide what others can read and think. It’s a character flaw that appears to be very widespread. No more DuckDuckGo for me. Appreciate the tips for alternatives.
WE ARE SICKENED BY WEAK P***IES LIKE YOU!
Another search engine is swisscows. It’s also family friendly for those that have younger kids.

You are now encouraged to call for violence against Russians and praise Ukrainian neo nazis, because avowed genocidal maniacs are now apparently higher on the hierarchy than some rando Russian civilian.
All enforced by our state and corporate structures.

Exclusive: Facebook temporarily allows posts on Ukraine war calling for violence against invading Russians or Putin’s death
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-facebook-instagram-temporarily-allow-calls-violence-against-russians-2022-03-10/?taid=622a703727d3f20001e221cf&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
And will they “allow” some in some countries to call for the death of Ukrainian soldiers and Nazis also?
Free speech has to be “allowed” by an elitist speech overlord?
Wow, what incredible generosity FB’s little dictators are showing! We should send them a big thank you! How splendid of ’em to give their smallminded permission! Now users are actually allowed to have their very own views.
Well, never mind. I’m not and never was going to join FB no matter how fabulous people say it is.
FWIW I like Firefox well enough, at least it’s not based on Google’s chromium “engine” like just about all other browsers (including Brave).
Firefox has an extension for Brave search, easy to add to FF. We do have an option for something other than DGG (which was a fairly mediocre search engine anyway).
Hate to say it but now I’m thinking how long it will be before Brave succumbs to the pressure…?
After Jay-Six, the CEO of Firefox called for increased censorship.
I still use FF, because I haven’t found a better alternative (and yes, I am aware of Brave but it has its own set of issues), but anyone considering FF should be aware of the above.
Every browser, search engine, VPN, and anti-virus/malware have active or potential issues regarding free speech and privacy.
Guess I won’t be usibg duckduckgo anymore. I’ll check this thread to see if any treepers have other recommendations to use as search engines……
So, basically, DuckDuckGo has been taken over by limp wristed, beta male f@&&$#s

Well, he can GoDuckHimself.
I stopped using Duck Duck Go a long time ago. Just another phony “conservative”, “freedom supporting” website. Very disappointing but seems to be the way of most things “conservative” these days.
I dropped Duck Duck Go when Brave began their search engine. So glad I did.
I use Brave, and have been for years.
It lets you choose which search engine to set as your default. I don’t see anything as a choice other than all the now co-opted search engines.
I guess it was only a matter of time until Duck Duck Go caved.
Too bad.
Startpage is still OK, I think.
Just switched to Startpage.
startpage is nice too. Seems like I boycotted Startpage back in the Art Bell days but I forget why now. Anyway if website operators with scripts like on Drupal and WordPress actually run cronjob on their site to rebuild the search index it could be helpful as well. If websites built their own indexes there would been no need for the deep crawls of google on some websites.
Art Bell!!! Brings back memories from the good ole days…
Doesn’t Start Page go through Google though?
Startpage uses the same compromised search engines, you do have to select one. Also, you can complain to DDG: [email protected]
Thanks for the lead, I’ll check it out. Just switched to Brave.
startpage censors also. Try searching for rt.com
Yes, am using the new Brave Search engine now. Early user of the Brave Browser.
try search.brave.com
You may need an update. Try clicking on the three lines in the upper left hand corner. click settings then click search engine. at the top should be a drop down menu to choose which search engine is the default. Brave is at the top.
Did not know about Brave search engine. Thank you for the info. Everything changed over now.
I enjoy qwant.com
During World War II, “the News” was purposefully censored by bureaucrats in much the same way, to protect the populace against Nazi propaganda…DURING WORLD WAR II.
The Ukraine incursion is an excuse to make such censorship of information the norm. The Deep State has a problem; in 2022, there exists the ability to bypass “official sources”. So in its usual ham handed way, the DS is compensating for that ability by neutering search engines.
Act accordingly!
Try Presearch.com. Decentralized and anonymous searching.
Time to shuck the duck I guess….pathetic
Switched over to Brave once I started seeing curated MSM news stories pop up above the stuff I searched for on DuckDuckGo. Let these scumbags play whack-a-mole as we keep switching up on them…
