Duck Duck Google

The search engine DuckDuckGo will be down-ranking sites that spread Russian "propaganda and disinformation". In a tweet, founder and CEO Gabriel Weinberg wrote that the search engine would be releasing updates that would ensure Russian disinformation sites rank further down in search results. Earlier this month, DuckDuckGo announced it would pause its relationship with Russian-state owned search engine Yandex.

Many fans of DuckDuckGo criticized the search engine for its decision on Russia, likening it to “censorship”. It’s unclear whether DuckDuckGo will make a wider effort to down-rank search results.

This entirely negates DuckDuckGo's only value proposition, which was to bring it's users unbiased, unmoderated search results.

Now they're nothing more than Gawky Google.
