You'll have the same challenges as the people who are researching spam or malware. I could see a use-case for a niche product that specifically doesn't filter bad results, but I'm pretty sure DDG wants to be a general-purpose search engine first.

If you search "Ukraine news RT" on DDG you get Ukraine news from RT. It's still there if you look for it. It just isn't near the top of a "Ukraine news" query (I assume you'd find it there eventually if you scroll enough)

All you have to do is scroll past the US misinformation, on past EU misinformation and you'll find it right there. Easy.

Sorry but it just isn't the same. Russia made it illegal -- punishable by 15 years in prison -- to accurately describe their invasion of Ukraine.

I'm not in Russia and DDG isn't limiting their distortion to Russian visitors to their site.

They weren't suggesting otherwise. They were suggesting that Russia's disinformation campaign has been particularly egregious and intentional.

isn't that whataboutism?

Officially they made it illegal to inaccurately describe their invasion.

For example by calling it an "invasion" as you just did.

Oops - lucky I am not in Russia...

I think you can go to jail for supporting the russian invasion in some european countries right now too.

If supporting means driving a tank in Berlin and bombing an hospital, yes, most probably you will go to jail.

For a long, long, time.

If it means saying that Russia is right, definitely not.

Not really, it really is just supporting russia even without any violence. For example in lithuania:

>The decision bans to organize or gather at assemblies “aimed at supporting, in any form or scope, the actions of the Russian Federation and/or the Republic of Belarus, which caused the introduction of the state of emergency” while this state of emergency remains in place.

>The new legislation, which passed parliament with 71 votes in favour out of 117 cast, banned public events in support of "Russia or Belarus actions which led to this state of emergency".

Well, for Lithuania is personal. I can't blame them for not wanting to support their own destruction falling in a 'Donbas trap'

No disagreement, war is war and they are in a vulnerable position

Is there a source for this?

This is what the ukrainian embassy in slovakia claimed. I guess official ukrainian sources have been incredibly unreliable but I haven't seen any fact check on their claims

>Czech law enforcement warns that public approval of Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be classified as a "crime of denial, questioning, approval and justification of GENOCIDE." There are already the first two cases of detainees incriminated in this paragraph of the Criminal Code.

Shouldn't it be the embassy in the Czech Republic or is it really the Ukraine embassy in Slovakia commenting on Czech law? Not trying to be difficult just generally wondering. Tried looking at the link but twitter wants me to sign up to view it.

Sorry, my mistake! I think it's in the Czech Republic (though I think slovakia did something similar too), I'm only relying on Google translate so I might be very wrong

Cool ty!

I'll just do a quick search on DDG for that...

If it's not appearing in the searches then it's not "going on".

If you're looking for what specific sites are saying, you can still do that.
