"Dems Fraud": Far Right and Data Voids on DuckDuckGo.com
This article deals with the 'dems fraud' data void on DuckDuckGo. While striving to overcome filter bubbles, DuckDuckGo has been overtaken by the New Right's optimized information ecosystem that only spreads their views.www.diggitmagazine.com

You'll note I said Brave BROWSER.Brave is not a search engine.
Duckduckgo is a Google "skin" that has removed tracking and cookies... but it is Google that provides the search results.
The people protesting don’t seem to mind that results are ordered in a partisan manner, just which partisan manner. IMO, those complaining the loudest want their favorite sites upgraded for purely partisan reasons regardless of popularity.Google does exactly that by ordering results in a partisan matter. I mean if you are willing to go to the 4th or 4th page of search results to find alternative points of view then have at it.
again, I don't think they cater, from reading the article they simply provide popular search results. if rw is using it looking for rw stuff, it will filter to the top of searches.I took it more of a showing that every search engines has it biases and gives the results it wants to give. DDG caters to the right wing, thus they magically show more rightwing results.
no it isn't. it's a combination of hundreds of sources.Brave is not a search engine.

To my knowledge there is no search engine that provides results with conservative bias.The people protesting don’t seem to mind that results are ordered in a partisan manner, just which partisan manner.
again, I don't think they cater, from reading toye article they simply provide popular search results. of rw is using it looking for rw stuff, it will filter to the top of searches.
I don't read they push it to the right anywhere in your article.
I do read thst Google pushes traditional media to the top, which "does" manipulate results.
Yes. I read your article and I read the wiki site. I don't read ANYONE accusing them of manipulating results.You really do not think they cater? You think it is just coincidence that it is the far rightwing sites that happen to show up the most in their results?
It's not censorship, it's filtering out known sources of disinformation in order to research more efficiently.Who needs a censor, when you can do it yourself?
If you shut down Google...Duckduckgo would cease to exist.
The censoring that occurs is based entirely more on who pays to be at the top.There is definitely "filtering" going on. You can go to bing and view or delete your search history they have stored.
But is there censorship going on? I'd say absolutely. This begs the question "Who censors the content?" Does the Department of Defense still "own" the internet here in the USA? After all, they created it, and I don't recall anything published whereby they gave up ownership. Or maybe the FCC has a bigger role now? The fact that corporations are allowed to connect to it with their networks doesn't mean they are totally autonomous...they still have to follow the chain of command and standard protocols.
And if privacy is a concern, you'll also want to use a secure (and private) DNS server: the standard ones will store what sites you go to and those records are viewable and traceable based on your MAC address. All bets are off if you use Edge (it stores everything anyway, and even resets your choice of DNS server at random times).
Self-censorship. Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to. It doesn’t matter who’s doing it, as long as information is being limited. It’s actually worse than what Google does, downgrading sites so that appear later in a search, by eliminating sites altogether.It's not censorship, it's filtering out known sources of disinformation in order to research more efficiently.
Are you intelligent enough to comprehend the difference, or are you a dumbass?
The results you're actually searching for, moronYou want a search engine that purposely gives you less results?
no it wouldn't. (appears it would as I keep researching)If you shut down Google...Duckduckgo would cease to exist.
The censoring that occurs is based entirely more on who pays to be at the top.
Google turned the internet into "Search for Hire" 20 years ago. So much so, that if you own a business and don't pay Google a monthly fee - you simply won't show up in a search...at least not until waaaaaay below other folks who DID pay.
That kind of power shouldn't be given to any one company. But the government allows all kinds of monopolies for the past 30 years. In fact, they encourage monopolies to exist.
How would you know which sites that would be ahead of time? That doesn’t sound like a search for the facts, but a way to confirm one’s biases.The results you're actually searching for, moron
they either pay to be or do SEO better than you.How would you know which sites that would be ahead of time?
You know every one ahead of time? Why do a search at all? Go directly to the site.they either pay to be or do SEO better than you.
ain't rocket science.
no it wouldn't. (appears it would as I keep researching)
DuckDuckGo vs. Google: An In-Depth Search Engine Comparison
DuckDuckGo uses its web crawler, DuckDuckBot, and up to 400 other sources to compile its search results, including other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex, and crowdsourcing sites like Wikipedia.
This is where DuckDuckGo’s Knowledge panel-like breakout box on the right rail with important details like name, address, phone number, website, etc., are drawn from, including Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo also pulls information from user-review site Yelp, including reviews, addresses, phone numbers, and business hours for that panel as well.
Business-location directions are now provided exclusively by Apple Maps, a change from prior to 2019 when DDG defaulted to Bing Map.
........
please feel free to correct me with technical documentation that shows ddg uses Google at the core.
