DuckDuckGo contains a "safesearch" option too, and it's enabled by default (see: https://duckduckgo.com/settings ).

I have to say, I was really taken aback when I found that, and it made me wonder if I was doing the right thing promoting yet another censorship engine. Needless to say, I haven't changed anyone's homepage/search to DDG since discovering that as it took a bit of the wind out of my sails.

Optional, one-click censorship is not censorship, it's an option. It's not the default setting I would have chosen, but it doesn't make them The Man.
