I read through some of the comments on this post, and although I get the arguments that there is not only disinformation from the Russian side, I must say that the specific intention of Russia's disinformation is to directly destabilize our western democracies and spread the denial of the war and slaughter in Ukraine. And yes, we've gotta act against the false information from western news agencies also (I live in Germany, and therefore I know a pretty good example of this with "BILD"), but the criticism of DuckDuckGo's actions and calling it censorship is, from my opinion, absolutely wrong, because we've gotta protect people from disinformation and stop the Russian war of information.
