So disappointing that a search engine like DuckDuckGo would fall prey to this sort of censorship.

DDG uses Bing for results I’ve heard? So they’re falling prey to the censorship of their provider.

I don't think they did. I searched for Tank Man, and the first result is the wikipedia article, followed by nothing but articles about him and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The images section seems to be the only one that's acting weird, because if I search for "Tank Man China" it shows a bunch of pictures of him.

Right, which is an implementation detail to some extent

Doesn't DDG mostly rely on Bing for its results? So a result that's suspiciously missing from Bing would be likely to also be missing from DDG, unless their indexing and crawling is more comprehensive than I thought.

It's not an "implementation detail". It's a problem with the fact that the Internet has only two functioning crawlers remaining.

Three, arguably—Yandex still exists and is generally pretty decent in addition to being the best at dealing with Russian morphology (although relying on it after Segalovich’s death seems foolish).
