DDG censors things based on politics because Bing (where it gets its search results) does. And Google also censors results based on politics so I'm not sure how SP is a step up in that department. That being said, Google's results tend to be more relevant to the search query than Bing's, which is why SP's results are often more relevant than DDG's.

I think they removed or downranked results they deemed "pro-Russia", which is not a very good sign
