Since ddg uses bing's api, I wonder if the disappearance on ddg is due to bing censoring.



Most likely. It’s also funny to see TorrentFreak write:

> Unlike DuckDuckGo, Bing notes at the bottom of the page that “some results have been removed.”

The reason DuckDuckGo doesn’t display similar notes is likely because they don’t know any sites have been removed (since Bing’s API doesn’t include this info). Copyright holders have no need to contact DDG and other Bing wrappers, they just need to get Microsoft to remove the websites from their API.


Nah, still showing up on bing.
