Strange, but RT does not show up in DDG for me. Not by using your link, not even by searching "Russia Today" on it. The first results I get are Al Jazeera or Fox News. No Russia Today at all. How's that?

If you are in the EU, distributing RT (and Sputnik News) is banned in the EU, e.g., see https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/eu-sanctions-google-searc...

I'm in the EU, yes, but I don't understand that either. Because there are search engines, freely available in the EU, that didn't honour that questionable request about banning websites.

So, for me, DDG is hiding some results while other search engines that I can use in the EU, do not.

What EU-based search engines are you referring to?

I was not talking about EU-based search engines, I was talking about search engines not applying censorship that I can use from the EU. And as far as I know, DDG is not EU-based either.

Brave Search, just to give one example.

If that's the case, why would you accede to the EU's demands? Would you geoblock search results in China if the CCP deemed certain content or content providers illegal?

We are banned in China and have no assets there.
