Its shady for many reasons... I quit using it
I read an article on tor about the problems with many "privacy respecting" search engines, including ddg, here: https://digdeeper.club/articles/search.xhtml
+1 Yes!
I don't understand why people want to see misinformation in their search honestly. There's a lot of this "oh no its 'censoring' my results so its bad" thinking in some parts of the privacy community and its not healthy IMO.
I do that agree that there is a time and a place for censorship though, in some instances it can potentially overstretch what most consider to be fair, but with most things you can't please everyone. Personally as long as I get ๐ข๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐งฒ in my search results I'm happy.
If all search was uncensored, and people were a button click away from seeing NSFL (note: not NSFW) stuff all the time, the internet would be a very different place... and various countries would have likely forgone it in favor of their own national intranet (such as NK or PRC kinda have)
