The following has been posted to DDG on reddit. Redditors, link below. The actual disparity is far worse than it the pic above. Actual pics in links below.
Can you explain the radical image search disparity between regions, please? : duckduckgo
Someone brought this to my attention, and I didn't believe it. Then I tried it.
First I did an Image search for 'biden groping girls'. My region was set to its default, All Regions (see setting near top-left of page). There were maybe 10 images:
I can't imagine a good reason why the search results would be so dramatically different between two regions. If anything, I would think Vietnam would have less access to a fairly obscure American political issue.
I hate to think the DDG is cooking the results politically. Please convince me it is not. Because unbiased results is a critical matter.
