Famous privacy blog Le Alternative (!lealternative@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy) was de-indexed from Bing and from all Bing-dependent search engines, including DuckDuckGo. At the moment it is impossible to search for their useful articles and the reason for this de-indexing is unknown. The owner of the blog is still trying to find out the reason for this removal.
What’s going on with Duckduckgo? They have been doing a lot of really questionable stuff lately.
True… It already had some issues, but since the pro-Russia news de-ranking it’s starting to implement more and more manipulation to the results, it’s starting to go in Google’s direction in terms of bubbling, the thing (I think) they were against… I don’t know if it’s just Bing’s fault, but I hope they distance themselves as soon as possible by using their own crawler or more crawlers (which they claim they do, but it’s hard to believe at this point).
