As long as DDG uses Bing's results then they also implement Bing's censorship policies. That's a choice DDG makes.

Less a choice, more a consequence. It’s not like DDG wants to replicate MS’s search policies, it’s just that DDG lacks the infrastructure to do it on their own. Until they do, this is going to keep happening.

I don’t think ddg was consulted or informed here. Choice is a strong phrasing
