Earlier quoted context omitted.

It did when I searched 5 minutes ago. Now I get no results and "Images blocked by safe search" on strict/moderate, and no results on "off".

Oh wow, can confirm. Now I’m not getting any results either.

back to 4 images for me now

I get the image if I'm more specific on DDG, via "tank man tiananmen square". Maybe just DDG needing more context than Google?

This query gave me 2 results, but others had random images (e.g. a happy seal), and in other places I see a white 'no preview available' icon, for instance on the Amnesty page that contains the image.

Tested this on Bing/DuckDuckGo/Google/Yandex/Baidu. Only failed to show up on Baidu.

Even Baidu, for "Tienanmen Square protest", returns one relevant result: http://edu.sina.com.cn/en/2006-01-24/185435649.html

I only tried "tank man".

On images? DDG returns the wikipedia page (and the image in the summary), but in images it's a different story

No, just web.
