Searching for #PeerTube in #Bing and thus #DuckDuckGo gives zero results. Bind mentions that "The search result may have adult contents has been filtered." and that "age verification is required". While DuckDuckGo just shows zero results.

I understand that there might be PeerTube instances with adult content in the search results but I don't believe all of them have adult content. I know mine does not.

More details? When I search it in DDG, I get a lot of results. The first from from peertube.tv, then joinpeertube.org.

Are you sure? I go to DDG and type "PeerTube" and get a lot of results.

Hm then it might be some geo thing that it doesn't show anything in Korea:

Can confirm. Using a vpn to search from korea leads to no results

Is Korea's internet that censored?

The porn part definitely is.

So much about not having a filter bubble on DuckDuckGo.

@IzzyData @jeena Looking for info on Peertube or for #Peertube videos? For videos there is a special search on sepiasearch.org

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

This has been a thing for awhile. Bing/Duck Duck go just have a blanket ban on the search peer tube to block any adult content.

Some places if you just change your search restrictions from strict to moderate you will get results but apparently not every where.

Even if I set ddg to strict filtering it still shows a result.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What your seeing isn't a result, it is just a feature of Duck duck go that gives you a quick summary of something pulled for Wikipedia. Looks like the filtering forgot to block that feature.

Yes, yes, everyone knows what that is. The point is that it gives something even with the most strict filtering
