DuckDuckGo gives money to left wing organizations such as
2020 :
- Algorithmic Justice League (racist, anti-science)
- European Digital Rights (EDRi) (Feminist, anti-white, but against hate speech law. Maybe not so bad.)
- UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry (feminist, anti-white, anti-science)
- Gesellschaft fuer Freiheitsrechte (Feminist. Gets the government to do things for immigrants or to stop investigating immigrants.)
- Restore The Fourth (Supports BLM narrative of racist police violence and George Floyd story.)
- Tech Freedom (Defends Facebook's anti-competitive practices Internet giants. Mistakenly implies Trump banned Muslims to travel. )
Earlier:
Demand Progress (supported also by Soros), Freedom of the Press Foundation (focus on bringing down President Trump), and ACLU.
DuckDuckGo staff tells at Reddit that they encourage upstream sources to censor.
One of the groups they fund, Rise Up, has some red flags, but maybe we should be optimistic and try working with them and see how it goes. They believe in "systemic oppression embedded in the use and development of technology." Their core members have usual leftist signs. They want to fight "fascists". or the "kyriarchy" of "cissexism" "heterosexism to racism".
There are some problems with the TOR project, the members, feminism -- but there is also some good from it. Same with Electronic Frontier Foundation.
DuckDuckGo sent a message (Tweet?) about data being 'systemically biased', indicating a usual leftist sexism and racism. Sorry I didn't save a link to that.
DDG censors silently: no notice given when results are suppressed.
Mojeek has their own search engine.

I searched "American inventors" and got the same answer as Google
They use Google's algorithms
Yet still far, far, far better than Google.
I’m pretty sure google bought DDG.

Damn haven’t heard this in forever.

I agree. In 2019 and 2020 I'm not seeing anything too objectionable. It would be nice to have more alternatives for sure, but I have no qualms about using them.
I've gone through orgs in 2020 and added to the list with objectionable organizations in 2020.
Thanks to the OP and the posters for the info and fact checking. Useful info.
I don't remember what I originally noticed about RiseUp. Maybe they are different than that RiseUp and I mistook them for being the same. Looking now, they do show some red flags. They believe in "systemic oppression embedded in the use and development of technology." Their core members have usual leftist signs. They want to fight "fascists". or the "kyriarchy" of "cissexism" "heterosexism to racism". Still, maybe we should be optimistic and try to work with them and see what happens. So, I am going to remove them from the list of reasons to not support DDG.
Generally, funding IT privacy projects is a good thing -- though there are some bad ones --
Signal, for example provided materials to BLM. See their blog
As far as DDGs censorship goes, some authoritarian types here would like some of that censoring.
It was on their main site around the time of the riots. Maybe you can find it in Wayback. IIRC, it was water, masks, maybe more things in that vein. They didn't name BLM, they wrote 'protesters' -- but BLM were the ones protesting at the time.
There you go
Again, thanks to ALL the Thread participants and the OP.
This is what factchecking/real journalism should look like all the time, everywhere.
STICK THIS !
thanks for the info
Use Brave
Browser? Which search engine though?
Updated post with a suggestion: Mojeek has their own search engine.
Yeah, it’s just not ready for prime time https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=Obese+black+people&fmt=images
They outsource the image search, i think.
Lol. I guess that’s why the images are Chinese drawings.
Done with duck duck go. Also startpage.com is heavily heavily censored.
Start page gives supposedly anonymized Gulag results.
Yandex is also NWO currated.
startpage uses google results, it is written on their homepage
ddg founder : "weinberg". jewish fb: "zuckerberg", jewish google: "page, brin" jewish
jewish people hate white people, don't expect them to support maga stuff
Trump disagrees with you and we have a ton of Jewish Trump supporters so fuck off. This place is about supporting Trump, not about being an ignorant bigot.
you did not deny that jews hate white people
Stating facts about who controls or owns certain companies doesn't make you a bigot or "anti-semitic" (the usual label used to shut down free speech much like calling someone a racist).
If you insist, however stating things like "jewish people hate white people, don't expect them to support maga stuff" then yeah, you're a bigot. Which is exactly what I was replying to. Trump has a Jewish daughter and grand kids and you should go fuck off to another forum if you think his post with blanket statements about Jews is acceptable.
So what if Trump has a Jewish daughter? Jared is absolutely not on board the America first agenda. Ivanka and Jared should never have been anywhere near the Whitehouse as advisers to Trump. They are both limousine liberals and Jared's loyalties belong to Netanyahu.
Yup it became more evident right after Nov 3rd that they are headed the same way.
It was my default search but now DuckDuckGone (like Mojeek)
Thank you for this; just switched default browser.
But GODDAMMIT. I'm trying to be positive and hopeful, but the fraud and propaganda is so pervasive I don't see any other way out of this than Box 4.
I am preparing my body, boys.
Ummm - this post should be deported for self-promotion.
They are trying to discredit DDG and you are falling for it.
I am in no way affiliated with a DDG alternative. I didn't even suggest an alternative in the initial version. -- only after someone asked.
If we become much of their user base, we can at least let them know so that they appreciate that. They are small presently. So, it wouldn't take much to be a large portion of their users.
Just tried Mojeek. The images portion completely is a failure. Web search for “American Inventors” gave me links to African American Inventors as the first 5 hits.
They outsource the image search. You can configure which third party to use in the settings.
They're being extorted by the big tech mafia.
Just migrated all my browser to use mojeek. Get woke go broke.
