Why would they show Russian information about the war when you search for Midterm elections? The issue is that they are introducing a manual intervention in the algorithm out of political motives. They are not automatically a great authority on correctness of information regarding the war. I don't think DDG has investigators on the ground in Ukraine. Of course ultimately all search engines will apply some criteria for correctness or relevance of information. Maybe we should applaud DDG for at least being transparent about it. So in the end presumably you have to pick the search engine just like you pick your other news sources. It is just a pity that DDG previously advertised itself as "unbiased", and now they throw that goal out of the window. Still it feels like the search engine feeding me results that they want me to find, not the ones that I most likely would want to find.
