I noticed this for a longer time but I just thought MSN flooded the web with its shit. It didn’t came to my mind it is actually duckduckgo trying to shove these msn links into my face…

I guess this is similar to google amp links, just stealing the content of other websites.

It annoys me big time, -msn doesn’t seem to help

    Isn’t the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?

    Yeah that’s why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.

    I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.

    That’s not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just “owned by a foreign state”, it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.

    Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.

    Why don’t we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?

    I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.

    As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.
