You heard it here first from me [0] and even earlier on DuckDuckGo's lies on manipulated search results [1] since as I already said they use Bing's search results, so it was only a matter of time for this search manipulation to be exposed at some point.

Aside from the excellent framing from the Vox spin doctors of this article, the whole real point of DuckDuckGo is to be an uncompromising, privacy-friendly search engine that doesn't manipulate search results like how Google clearly does.

Now they just admitted directly that they are no different to what Google has done to the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) [2]; therefore they are compromised.

But of course, Vox doesn't want to talk about DDG's manipulation for years, but instead writes a piece on framing 'right-wingers' again. Typical narrative spinning mainstream media eh?
