Is everyone trolling me? I’m simply asking for a reputable source stating that google is censoring their search results.

These were the first few results in ddg. If you couldn't find anything similiar in google perhaps that's a clue you might not be getting the whole picture.

Search for "Encyclopedia dramatica" on Google, and then on Bing or Duck. Search for Rise of the Moors on Google, and then on Bing or Duck. You can repeat this for other controversial content, and you'll notice a trend: Google suppresses the controversial content entirely (e.g., Encyclopedia dramatica), or shows it after at least one "authoritative" result about it (e.g., Rise of the Moors). Whereas Bing and Duck have no problem identifying the original content and showing it as the first result.
Honestly unless you have been living under a rock this is common knowledge and many sources and lawsuits exist. I am not sure anyone is going to waste their time to find you sources when we all know and witness that it has been contrived for how long now?
Feel like “reputable” is loaded here lol

I’ve had it happen before in searches where I’ll see something and can’t find it on google, but can easily find it on DuckDuckGo.

Idk here’s something for you: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/10/09/the-good-censor-le...

There are leaked slides showing the intent to censor. Not sure if this is “reputable” enough, but there is something.

> Not sure if this is “reputable” enough

The fact that Breitbart is your first choice says plenty.

Lol they link to source documentation. Imo it’s a fine source, because it links to the material. CNN on the other hand never does. Go ahead search cnn right now, always self referencing, aka they are “truth”, “trust us” -_-

Anyway, this was the first hit on DuckDuckGo related to google censorship. It was the first “choice” that a different engine presented me — kinda shows the problem with the political hostilities, no?
