It feels like it’s the 1990s again especially when it’s becoming quite clear how biased google has become with is censorship and promoting its political interests. We are back now to using multiple search engines to try and figure out what the truth it and to get all sides of the story. The fake news can’t be trusted anymore and are just being used like propaganda tools.

What are some good search engines that don’t practice censorship and promoting a political agenda. There is a huge demand for this now.

I am convinced yahoo and google can’t be trusted anymore.

Duck Duck Go. Use the Tor browser. Ends them knowing and directing shit.
 
As biased is a relative definition based usually on one's beliefs as ground zero - I'd say Google, Yahoo are about the best you can get. If they ignore sites that promote hate and you are a racist - the results are biased. If Google gives complete freedom to all including pedophiles, hate groups, fraudsters, etc - they could lose revenue from advertisers, incur the wrath of legal groups and worse.

At it's worse - imagine a curious child researching a topic on a web site that only spits out tin hat drivel such as we see by the this web site. You would end up with an ignorant teen that is socially ignorant and unable to pass any certified post graduate education.

I believe Duck Duck Go protects your browsing history not content. Tor browser by it's nature permits entry into some seedy sites - credit card numbers, fraud, pedo but my understanding is you are looking for an interest group and not open research for unbiased questions - am I wrong ?

Does this include censoring other professional opinions such as practicing licensed doctors on medical and health advice?

What gives google the authority over other licensed trained professionals?

What’s next then what we learn in school. The google masters become the thought police?
 
Any search engine will have an algorithm and so be biased. If you actually think major sites are kicking a set of opinions off due to political pressure then you need to go to a lesser known site because it isn't about filter bubbles then.

You could try wiki.com and boardreader. They focus on wikis and message boards so they are skewed by the kinds of things that get posted on those rather than normal algorithms.

SearchEncrypt and Dogpile and searx pull from a number of other engines so may be less biased overall. maybe.

I think Gibiru might be the closest to a normal search engine that specifically hypes it lets you find things Google wants to suppress.

Have you considered that perhaps your world view is wrong and no matter what the search engine you use it will not be to your liking?

Searx is open source and infact can be hosted yourself. However you'd be better to use a public one to obscure your searches, otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose.

Knew it was open source but didn't know you could host yourself. Interesting. Thanks

Yeah I might give it a try on my vps. But there really is no point since if you are the only user all your searches are coming from the same IP so it defeats the privacy aspect. Which is what I would be concerned with more so than the fake news google might be highlighting.

Same. I am much more worried about the privacy tracking front. But that doesn't seem to be Rain's concern.

Duck duck go uses Google's search if I recall. They just have a privacy layer over it all. Since Rain isn't worried about the bubbles guiding your searches, he is worried about things Google is deliberately avoiding, it won't help him.

You can find licensed doctors who enjoy the notoriety and/or financial gain of using their credentials to buck established norms and push tinfoil theories that are health risks. If this is 0.1% of the norm Google will get shade for not presenting 0.1% on the same level as the 99.9% professional opinions. So is Google actually suppose to overlook reality to push conspiracies like Intelligent design, Flat World, QAnon, white superiority, etc as legitimate priority answers to school kids questions ? You can Google these - they still exist in the dark corners of the internet.

If you Google vaccines, I can't fault Google for siting world renown medical sources ahead of an off the rails country doctor with a cult following. Type the name and you can still shine the light on any flake.
 
“No big tech information companies like Facebook and Google don’t censor. They value free speech. Anyone who opposes them is a bunker bitch orange man loving white supremacy hater tin foil wearing BOT 🤖No I am not a bot. I believe everything I get from google, the internet, Facebook...etc...anyone who oppose this view is filled with hate and delusion. I just listen to what they tell me. There is no political bias and no censorship happening, no firing of conservative employees, anyone who thinks this is a flat earth conspiracy bunker bitch.”

Man I feel sorry for the kids growing up in this, even if the adults are buying this shit and thinking talking like this is healthy. Welcome the 1984 of the 2020s but with a different face, different front, different book. Face Book though policing is a myth y’all!

✌ ❤ and freedom for all yo!!!!
