> Comparing a search provider to a Journalism Outlet rather than a Librarian.

Well if you're going to start there its no surprise you reached the conclusion you did.



Librarians work for the state, therefore their acts are covered by public law that regulates censorship.

DDG is a private company, therefore their acts are covered by private law that doesn't regulate censorship.

I stated that before on my previous comment. I recommend you to improve your text comprehension skills, they're lacking.


Nice try. DuckDuckGo literally sold itself and became successful based off the promise of behaving more like a library than a journalist. The only thing you've pointed out so far is the obvious - they don't have a legal obligation to fulfill the premises they were built on. Great, as long as the free market is aware.
