Not surprising coming from DDG (yes, i know they use bing, but other search engines using bing don’t have that issue, because those alternative search engines actually know a little bit what they’re doing).
DDG is a joke and considering the amount of money they seem to be pulling in (to be able to afford those large and long ad campaigns in major cities around the world), they are very, very shady.
You cannot possibly call out China’s state media lack of neutrality (as if it wasn’t expected anyway) as if your own state media (or non-state for that matter) had been any more neutral.
Would argue they’ve been just as bad if not worse.
Hell, all the largest media companies (yes, Meta, Twitter and co are de-facto media companies, the way they’re built and the reach they now have mean they have more influence than your standard news media organisation) have gone out of their way to make sure that the rules against “calling for someone’s death” don’t apply if you’re talking about a Russian. Could it be more obvious than that?
On the DDG’s subereddit, they’ll call you a Putin Russian bot if you question the holiness of DDG. I advise against it.
