In addition to down-ranking sites associated with disinformation, we also often place news modules and information boxes at the top of DuckDuckGo search results (where they are seen and clicked the most) to highlight quality information for rapidly unfolding topics.

The whole point of DuckDuckGo is privacy. The whole point of the search engine is to show more relevant content over less relevant content, and that is what we continue to do.

It had previously been reported that DuckDuckGo was responsible for 3% of all internet searches throughout the globe. It’s very plausible that this move by Weinberg will cause him to drop down to a decimal of all internet searches throughout the globe. I am personally of the notion that Weinberg is going to have to engage in a mass series of layoffs at DuckDuckGo in the very near future. There will still be people who use the app out of laziness or (potentially) agreement with Weinberg’s position, but from my own anecdotal experience, everyone I know of who uses DDG is likely to seek alternative search engines, and I don’t think my experience here is the anomaly. DuckDuckGo had a very specific customer base, and Weinberg just voluntarily pushed them away. And for what? Both Ukraine and Russia have serious levels of propaganda that are being pumped out at the moment. Does Weinberg expect his customer base to trust him with dictating what is truth and what is not here?After CEO Gabriel Weinberg showed his hand siding with big tech #DuckDuckGo is #DuckDuckGone. I’ve switched over to @brave search (beta).
We’ll see if it continues to ensure our privacy and freedoms. We need more alt tech platforms to combat censorship now more than ever. pic.twitter.com/7UpLHCpcOT — Inverted Reality TV (@InvertedRealTV) March 11, 2022
