Lets talk search engine censorship at a wide scale how do specific search engines rank search resualts - eviltoast

So after the Google anti trust situation that has occurred recently it got me wondering…

Do all major search engines censor resualts from independent sites? Let me define what I mean by censorship, if you were to search for some kind of content or news and Google never ever shows a site in the news results there is a chance of shadow banning. There also a chance that Google just doesn’t know the site exists. but this isn’t always the case.

the main question for this post however is this, how do specific search engines handle resualts? it’s no secret Google is known for not doing search resualts on YouTube or Google too well for the user experience.

How do search engines like Bing, Yahoo, Google, Duckduckgo, metager, and others differenciate in their search rankings. Surely they aren’t all moderating the exact same as Google, right? right…?

    This is going a bit too far now, imho.

    An example that I encountered myself today:

    Google:

    Unfiltered search engine (in this case Yandex):

    Like, WTF Google!
