If a search engine starts censoring by whatever means, I'll not be using it, neither free or paid no matter how good it is (and by definition it can't be). Shills can provide a list of countries they don't want to see, hopefully some crooked search engine will satisfy their desire for censorship.
- flir 4mo agoThen you have to stop using search engines.
- mort96 4mo agoCensorship of search results and deciding which companies to do business with are two completely separate topics.
- account42 4mo agoIn this case it isn't since there is no alternative that covers the censorship holes that Yandex does.
- smallerize 4mo agoCensorship? This isn't about free speech, there's a war on.
- severino 4mo agoThere's not just one war on, there are many. Should Kagi exclude all the results from American companies because of the actions of the US government in Iran?

- smallerize 4mo agoDepends which side of the war you're on I guess? Or more to the point, whose money kagi wants to go after.
- pjc50 4mo agoNo search engines are uncensored, not even Yandex. Partly because they have to exist in a country somewhere, and partly because really nobody wants to index CSAM.

- account42 4mo agoYes of course and if you think that's all that western search engines censor then you can keep using Google and Bing - but some of us actually do want the full picture.
- jwr 4mo agoWe are not talking about censoring anything here, just buying paid sources of index data. I am unhappy with money flowing into Russia, for reasons that should be obvious (and I will not respond to whataboutism-style baiting here).
