https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ Overall I agree with much of the tone that they set and some of the things are long overdue. --- Edit: duckduckgo censor the search query "the great reset" when you search for the first time. proof: https://imgur.com/UbsvTCz https://imgur.com/UbsvTCz Edit2: Changed from "sometimes" to "when you search for the first time" in response to the comment below.

Why would that query be censored?
- read_if_gay_ 6y ago
  Especially on DDG. I was under the impression that only Google was meddling with your search results.
  - absolutelyrad 6y ago
    The founder of DDG was also the founder of a privacy invading company. This has been scrubbed off most parts of the internet. Edit: changed from spyware to privacy invading

      What's the name of the spyware company he founded? If you're referring to Names Database, how is that spyware?

      When? Which company? Let's see some business registrations or other primary sources.

  Is there any evidence that the query is actually censored, beyond conspiracy theories?

    I attached the proof pic. edit: To the comment below saying I'm lying. Yes it does query. The first time I query, it doesnt give results. Then I query it again and it shows all results (same query, pressing the search icon again). This is stealthy censorship and an unsuspecting person wouldn't notice. This doesn't happen for any other query. And it only happens with my work ip address, not a VPN. Edit2: Still not working for me, I have to query it twice to get the results. Maybe this is happening for selected ip addresses. This doesn't happen when I use a VPN.

      That's proof that Duckduckgo didn't find any results for the great reset at that particular time. It is not evidence for censorship, as you say "sometimes", meaning it could be a thousand other reasons why that is happening.

      Works fine here, including the first time I tried.

      Working flawlessly for me, no matter how many times I reload. Ockham's razor encourages me to believe that this is just some minor technical issue on either side, rather than censorship.

      > This doesn't happen when I use a VPN. That points at your network (ISP, LAN) more than DDG. You might try other less popular search engines (maybe Bing) to see if this behavior happens there as well.

Couldn't repro. What's the censored part of your image? I don't see anything there, maybe it's relevant.

  That's the location/country, if I am not wrong.

'sometimes' doesn't make sense. That would also just create more interest.

FWIW I spent nearly two weeks marking "the great reset" on my twitter trends as "not interested", only for it to still show up, both in the forms I had already blocked and in new ones (#thegreatreset, "great reset", etc). You don't get that kind of trend persistence without some entity pushing hard for it via bots. I don't know why DDG blocked that query, but I would bet it was due to bot spam.

Is there a specific talk there that you are recommending?

Update: it appears that there is a reason for it. DDG doesn't show results if there isn't an exact match for the query it seems. It requires you to search the same query again for some reason. Maybe this is an experiment of some sort, I'm not sure. Again, this doesn't happen on a VPN, but happens on my ip address. And no corporate settings interfere with the browser, it's the personal device I tried on. Another thing: when you search for "names database" on DDG there doesn't appear to be any results. No matter how much you try. I haven't found another query that yielded the same results.
