As discussed extensively in the Bing thread [0] comments, this is because DDG uses Bing’s search index.

Microsoft has acknowledged this is in error...[1] (though the error seems to be that censorship meant to just apply to China is being applied everywhere)

I didn't know DDG uses Bing's search index. What exactly is their value proposition over Bing then?

>>jakeva+7W
neither did I - not using DDG again. Back to Google :(

I don't think going back to Google because DDG is not large enough to have its own fully independent index is really the right play. Given their reputation and usually lax attitude towards censoring, I'd say this akin to a supply chain attack, not active censoring.
