The far right complains after the search engine DuckDuckGo vows to limit Russian propaganda.
Misconceptions About DuckDuckGo: Did DuckDuckGo censor search results about the Russia-Ukraine war?
This was particularly visible on far right subreddits where they began heavily recommending yandex. Because that makes sense. Swapping from a privacy-centric search engine to a literal Russian propaganda conveyor belt? Yeah, sure. No clue how many bit the bait.
Thanks for the context info. Saved me a search for it.
Censorship of any kind is bad because it sets a bad precedent. There's a reason why the ACLU defended the KKK's freedom of speech in 1978. If you can censor one, you can censor all.
No it's not lol
While I am not far right and don't support Russia in this conflict, it's still very wrong to censor anything political.
