You guys are overreacting. DDG said they would only down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation. It’s normal for search engines to downrank low-quality sites such as SEO spam.
Why was the well documented Western disinformation not ranked down, or why is Fox News the second result when “ukraine” is searched?
Yandex looks incredibly based right now, unironically. They are an insanely amazing search engine provider.
Based on what?
Based on quality of search results. No US-EU search engine has that level of quality, neither on textual nor reverse image results.
Yandex is not only a WEF member, but they also have an agreement with Uandex to allow Yndex browser to use Microsoft Suite - so i distrust it. Seeing that Microsoft has a contract with Ukraine gov’t, I suspect if Yandex isn’t filtering results yet, they will soon. The Hated One replied to me that Yandex (email or browser, idk) is worse than Google because Russian laws differ from those in the US.
WEF angle does not look too helpful, now that Russia is double sanctioned compared to Iran.
