I'm doing as little searching for news about Ukraine as I possibly can, so I have no issue here. It's a tragedy, an important issue, and I get enough news about it without searching for it.
Removing misinformation from Russia is a strange one to attack them for... considering the Russian invasion is about as non partisan of an issue (in the US at least) as I have seen in a long time.
Regardless, search engines have to rank content somehow. We need to stop throwing around "politics" when something doesn't fit your particular narrative.
If you agree with the OP maybe read the article that they posted?
This was never a thing that DDG claimed they were for. DDG is about privacy!
If we were talking about nearly any other issue, I might agree with you. But in this particular case, this is not a political issue! This is an invasion. End of story. Any "information" claiming otherwise is propaganda and does not deserve to be spread as truth.
What is misinformation and who gets to decide? At one point we were told the covid vaccines worked and you wouldn't need to worry about getting covid. If you disagreed it was "disinformation". We now know that that is not true. I'd prefer to use my own brain to decide for myself.
Claiming "politics" as a reason a company should not take a stance on something has turned into a blanket statement used largely for attacks on Human Rights.
We are seeing it here with DDG, Disney, and many others in the last several years.
