As much as I love StartPage as my search engine, I’ve never been blocked from searching by any other engine. No idea how I have “too much traffic from my IP”

What is it censoring?

BitNap 2y ago

Might sound dumb but I can't fi d any of trumps speeches on start page but I find them on duck duck go and others. Used start page for a long time, even used start mail for a while..

I wanted to check for myself but surprise!

Yep that’s the one. Entered the captcha and still waiting for approval.

I entered, provided further details ("what?") and it allowed me to search. I guess they're adjusting their filters and now they are mistakenly too aggressive.

Are there any better engines now that are maybe FOSS? I used to use DuckDuckGo as well until they admitted to censoring.

I switched from duck to start when duck started DNS blocking Russia.

There's too much computing power required to have a useful open source search engine. Meta engines that anonymize searches are our best shot

Not endorsing duck duck go*

There's a lot of CNN snippets blocking the full videos but it's there, filter for long videos
