I don’t need other people to decide for me what’s true.

In fact I find the growing support for that frightening, given that the self-appointed arbiters of truth in corporate and social media have repeatedly, objectively been shown to be wrong, and from my personal perspective pushing a social and political agenda that is not my own.

I’m a big boy, I’ll decide for myself what counts as “misinformation” thanks very much.

They aren't telling you what's true. They're just ranking search results.

And a search engine has to rank search results -- not everything can be at the top. The question isn't whether DDG should rank search results, but what criteria they should use.

I personally think the usefulness and credibility of the information are pretty good criteria, and do not think any exceptions should be made for political subjects.

So what difference with Google then?

In this way they could rank marketing stuff in a first page and usefull at 10+, just because "sponsorship/current agenda".
