Over the weekend, Google served notice that hey will be removing the America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) website from Google search results (see news story). This is a blatant act of censorship, but not surprising. It is only the latest in a long line of decisions by Google punishing by censorship those websites and individuals who hold views contrary the "woke" views held by Google.
When I posted the news story to Gettr (follow me: https://gettr.com/user/timgamble ), it generated lots of comments, and lots of suggestions for free-speech, privacy-oriented alternatives to Google search that do not engage in censorship.
- DuckDuckGo (the most recommended alternative)
- Brave Search (currently in Beta, but open to the public)
- StartPage (the second most recommended, and the one recommended by Tech Guru and Privacy Expert Rob Braxman)
- Qwant (European-based, so it is governed by stricter EU privacy laws)
- Peekier (I am not familiar with it, but it was mentioned by some)
- Metager (I am not familiar with it, but it was mentioned by some)
- SwissCows (family-friendly, it does censor porn, but not political content)
