In a post on Twitter, DuckDuckGo founder and CEO Gabriel Weinberg said: It all started on Wednesday when the company announced that it has “been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation,” making DuckDuckGo the arbiter of the truth. However, after many years of standing up for privacy and free speech, DuckDuckGo finally capitulates to the “woke” culture under the disguise of censoring Russian misinformation content. DuckDuckGo has now become DuckDuckGone after it embraces the woke culture and joins the big tech to censor search content. Unlike Google and Bing which track users, DuckDuckGo is a privacy-focused search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers’ privacy.

For many years, we’ve been promoting DuckDuckGo as an alternative search engine to Google.
