One problem with platforms having a clear bias in their search results is their classification of concepts like "disinformation" aren't what they say. They can't be. A business that needs to increase profits every quarter is never going to be charitably filtering data to get rid of "bad actors" (unless it's enforced by the law), they're going to do what they can to make more money. I don't think the owners of DDG are making this mistake maliciously. However, controlling information based on subjective opinions on narratives like the Russia/Ukraine conflict (which 99% of people talking about haven't even been to the region) is short sighted unless they're openly stating "We have a clear bias and are making our own claims on what good information is."
