- jmillikin 14y agoDuckDuckGo uses Bing for its search backend, so it's had this behavior for a while now. To find a general-purpose search engine that doesn't comply with the DMCA, you'll have to use Yandex, Baidu, or other foreign-hosted services.
- sp332 14y agoThis change only "demotes" search results, it doesn't remove them. So I don't think DDG would be affected much?
- magicalist 14y agowell, we have no idea what bing does with them. As far as I know, bing doesn't even publish the requests they get to chillingeffects or any where else, let alone publish what they do with them. Also, for the GP: bing is not the sole backend source for DDG.
