At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation.

It should be obvious why this is problematic ...

No, but if abortion is illegal, knowing you where there can be used as evidence:
https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/destruction-of-evidence
> destruction of evidence that is relevant to a case .. or an inference that such evidence can be unfavorable. ... victim of the spoliation [the state] must prove that the destruction was intentional [it was] and also the destroyed evidence was relevant to the issue ...
Literally what Google is doing, if Google deleted location data of all the J6 rioters this wouldn't even be a question if they deleted evidence, because its abortion, everyones ok with it, double standards.

> in democratic countries the best vaccine for the job was chosen.
thats a bit of a white washing job, there was 1000's of posts about the risk/effectiveness of Astrazeneca and the JnJ vaccine that were removed from social media, labeled as misinformation (but were accurate).
The biggest message was "the best vaccine is the first one available", so while we eventually gravitated to Pfizer/Moderna ... it was based on supply and not "the science".
I don't doubt China is hiding info, but America was not exactly a light in the darkness as you're painting it to be.

It was Ottawa, and Trudeau used all same rhetoric Putin is using now, calling them Nazis[1], denying the leaders bail[2], charged with mischief, and pushing propaganda thru state media.
Like the story of truckers attempting to burn down an apartment building[3], that turned out to be completely false, but used to prove violence and justify the emergencies act.

> MIT told him it was canceling the lecture to “avoid controversy” after students and recent alumni demanded he be uninvited because he’d recently argued academic evaluations should be based on merit.
Damn, I assumed he said something racist maybe, but this is what the issue was about, I just lost all respect for MIT.

do you know what coerced means?
compelling a party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats, including propaganda or force.
They're clearly coerced, unless you don't think getting fired falls under threats.

> The suffering people didn't choose this.
They 100% did, an article from 2011/2013 about the government distributing low cost appliances[1] and free houses[2]. They were getting tons of free and cheap stuff and the people were celebrating it.

Its a lot harder for your government to become authoritarian when your citizens can shoot back

your link shows where it was approved, those aren't usage numbers,
> ... there should be a preference for an alternative to the AstraZeneca [1]
> Canada’s largest province says it will stop giving out first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine due to concerns over its link to rare blood clots [2]
> More nations halt use of AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine citing clots [3]

Summary:
> ... AfD didn't have enough engaged supporters, so they were open to hire ... Flyerservice Hahn, a fictitious company.
> @politicalbeauty set up a fictitious website, without registering a company ... created fake Linkedin ... contacting regional offices of the AfD with very low ball offers to hand out fliers
> Close to the election they slowly realized that no flyers were handed out, but @politicalbeauty kept stalling them

I don't know the German system, but in many countries this would be fraud, and possibly election interference since the goal was political suppression.

You premise that they remove only false information is wrong,
"vaccine producers are immune from liability", is not false but is anti-vaccine ... its taken down.
When reports about problems with AstraZeneca were coming out, those were tagged as misinformation, today most countries no longer give out AZ vaccine.
Theyre suppressing truthful info, why should you trust anything they say?
