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…?
In Korea and other countries Bing and DDG don’t show anything when you search for PeerTube: https://jeena.net/notes/1391
Interesting. Is this happening in the u.s? If not there might be a law for those countries making them hide it there. If you can, try searching for sepia search, its a sesrch engine for almost all peertube intances basically its as if peertube was youtube, do those countries show that?
