You weren't wrong. Try to get RT to show up without specifying "RT"/"Russia today"/etc. I can search RT article titles with quotes but the original RT link will be on the second page if at all.
Now repeat this experiment with the NYTimes and compare the outcome.
DDG may not delist RT but you would not be a fool to suspect DDG throttles the visibility.
Would also be very curious to hear an answer to this. Its been long rumored that Google has weights or boost/throttle values that are manually assigned to websites by humans which impact ranking. Would be great to understand if DDG is following in Google's footsteps.
"Censor" means any action taken to edit, alter, block, ban, delete, remove, deplatform, demonetize, de-boost, regulate, restrict, inhibit the publication or reproduction of, or deny equal access or visibility to expression, to suspend a right to post, remove, or post an addendum to any content or material posted by a user, or to otherwise discriminate against expression. The term includes an action taken to inhibit a social media platform or interactive computer service user's ability to be viewed by or interact with another user of the platform or service.
The other part of the bill that I suspect companies are more worried about is that they have to published details about their moderate policies and statistics on how they are applied. No more bans with vague reasons like "harmful content".

What happens is,
Immigrants will come to the border and claim asylum then once they're in the country skip the asylum court hearing. The judge issues a deportation order but by then there is no way to find them.

Speech laws become very blurry when it comes to corporations. I'd get in trouble with regulators if I went around saying the herbal supplements I sell cures cancer. Government forces companies to published compelled speech when it comes to food labeling or alcohol/cigarette warnings.
Where does the line exist? I don't know and I'd love to see a court rule on this.
Courts are not supposed to legislate from the bench. Roe v Wade was clearly inappropriate ruling from day one. It undermined the integrity of the supreme court.
Abortion should be ingrained as legal via state/federal law.
If you listen to the intolerant wing of the right, the parts that would legitimately support overturning elections and arresting political opponents, they sound eerily similar to your sentiment.
"It’s time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president"
I listened to this excerpt from a book by an Icelander who was captured and enslaved by Barbary raiders. Very interesting, would recommend.
Ukraine is corrupt and the USA doesn't care about civilians and is acting to turn Ukraine into Russia's next Afghanistan.
It is a jump to go from there to saying Russia is good.
Without American oil imports, Japan was forced to seize Dutch oil production in Indonesia to keep their economy running. That would drag the USA into the war, therefore it was a logical conclusion to strike the USA first.
It's not hard to see Russia's action as a logical action to protect their interests. That however is not the same as condoning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I wouldn't say pro Russian but anti-war. This kind of framing reminds me of GW Bush's "you're either with us or with the terrorists" accusation against people who opposed invading Iraq.
Also "far right or far left media" would be more accurately characterized as non-corporate non-MSM journalism. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, the MSM literally promotes every US war and foreign intervention no matter the cost or predictable disastrous consequences. It's as if they have become engulfed in the military industrial complex.
When I last owned a Chromebook the storage was soldered on the motherboard.
nm notation used to mean the width of the smallest feature that could be made. Even today there are processes such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) that allows singular atom thick features. The difference between nodes now are in shrinking macro features, you don't necessarily make them smaller, more important is density. This is currently done with 3d transistors (finfet) and perhaps in the future going full vertical. When all other optimization have been exhausted it's likely to see multiple layers of stacked transistors simulator to what they are doing with NAND memory chips. Eventually even that will hit a wall due to thermal limitations. Beyond that people have proposed using carbonnano tube transistors. That tech is very early but has been proved to function in labs. If we ever figure out how to manufacture carbon nanotubes chips, it will be truly revolutionary; you could expect at least another 50 years of semiconductor innovation.
