DuckDuckGo has blocked Kiwi Farms

[JM 590]

I'd consider it a honeypot at this point.

It always kind of felt like one. Their whole "we're private, just trust us" deal felt like a good cop/bad cop kinda deal with Google. I haven't seen any reason as to exactly why I should ever trust them with my info.

 

[Spelling Bee]

I always said CuckCuckBlow is absolute fucking garbage.

Do not ever use this shit site. It's worse than Google because it now literally decides what you're allowed to look at. It's a censorship site. It probably actually tracks you for Mossad.

I'd consider it a honeypot at this point.

Are there any good alternatives to DuckDuckGo? Surely they can't be the only option for people who are tired of the bullshit tech giants usually do.

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAVE THE INTERNET, NOT DELIST CONTENT!

 

[edboy]

good thing I use Jewgle with Nord VPN. They will never track me that way!

 

[Hanamura]

I saw Kiwi show up when I searched "Kiwi Farms" but not "Kiwifarms". Hm.

 

[ProgKing of the North]

Hopefully they all become as shitty as google so my being too lazy to bother using an alternative to google is vindicated

 

[Bongsnake McGee]

Interestingly enough, a random non-frontpage result onthe kiwifarms.nl domain will show up.

DDG, am dissapoint.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

This is bizarre. Did they just revert this in a panic, or is something else going on?

Feels weird because I also searched "Kiwi Farms" a moment ago and some rando's profile on page 2 of the results was the first result that actually connected to the forum.

I filed a ticket, because DDG is wonky, but its never this wonky.

Looking up Lisandro's thread from Buenos Aires:

Well, shit.

Guess I should switch over to Startpage or Yandex.

EDIT: same search term on Yandex works as intended:

 

[AmpleApricots]

ducksearched "kiwifarms russel greer", got a hit of russel greers thread as first result. Using a different browser profile than this one&tor.

EDIT: without quotation marks obviously, also works with this profile

 

[Cheerlead-in-Chief]

I like DuckDuckGo. Its quite professional.
That said. I like its browser.

 

[heathercho]

I'd consider it a honeypot at this point.

Exactly fucking that.
They don't need to track you when they're collecting all sorts of other data.

 

[The Last Stand]

Bing is a superior search engine to Google anyway.

But seriously, duckduckgo is trash and yandex is much, much better.

Same here, whatever they did they did a bad job


Edit to add that it doesn’t show up in bing for me with kiwifarms or kiwi farms

 

[bottomfeeder]

This is really unsettling to me.

 

[indianshedevil]

DuckDuckGo, how DARE YOU?!

 

[crocodilian]

It always kind of felt like one. Their whole "we're private, just trust us" deal felt like a good cop/bad cop kinda deal with Google. I haven't seen any reason as to exactly why I should ever trust them with my info.

Considering what Null found earlier with the creation of user profiles (despite claiming they don't), now you have reason not to trust them.

 

[Coconut Gun]

Would it be reasonable to expect them to give any sort of explanation for this, or would they just ignore any questions and play dumb?

Just searched "kiwi farms" on DDG while on a Canadian VPN and got through just fine. Might be based on location?

 

[DewsLit]

Bing is cucked too, won’t show Kiwi Farms anymore.
