https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ Overall I agree with much of the tone that they set and some of the things are long overdue. --- Edit: duckduckgo censor the search query "the great reset" when you search for the first time. proof: https://imgur.com/UbsvTCz Edit2: Changed from "sometimes" to "when you search for the first time" in response to the comment below.

Why would that query be censored?

Is there any evidence that the query is actually censored, beyond conspiracy theories?

Especially on DDG. I was under the impression that only Google was meddling with your search results.

The founder of DDG was also the founder of a privacy invading company. This has been scrubbed off most parts of the internet. Edit: changed from spyware to privacy invading

What's the name of the spyware company he founded?

If you're referring to Names Database, how is that spyware?

I attached the proof pic.

edit: To the comment below saying I'm lying.

Yes it does query. The first time I query, it doesnt give results. Then I query it again and it shows all results (same query, pressing the search icon again). This is stealthy censorship and an unsuspecting person wouldn't notice.

This doesn't happen for any other query. And it only happens with my work ip address, not a VPN.

Edit2: Still not working for me, I have to query it twice to get the results. Maybe this is happening for selected ip addresses. This doesn't happen when I use a VPN.

When? Which company? Let's see some business registrations or other primary sources.

That's proof that Duckduckgo didn't find any results for the great reset at that particular time. It is not evidence for censorship, as you say "sometimes", meaning it could be a thousand other reasons why that is happening.
