Yandex censors quite a bit](https://rsf.org/en/russian-journalism-chained-kremlin-s-systemic-censorship-0

You posted content from RSF, which is a CIA propaganda outlet.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) supports RSF’s reporting of media freedom violations throughout the world and especially in Asia.

Yandex altered results to trash Navalny](

Navalny was trashed by about 70% of Russian citizens in a mayor election. His approval rate was absymal, and he was only propped up by western countries to create infighting in Russia. This has been NATO's motive ever since it was formed.

So I absolutely wouldn't trust it for anything related to politics or Russian interests. Maybe it's okay from a privacy and non-Russian interest perspective though, idk, but by default I don't trust it because Russia is so repressive against media in its country.

You trust Google a lot, looking at your trust in Graphene and other stuff. Are you a western liberal by any chance? Because there is zero reason to trust western media that loves Zionism and genocide. On the other hand, west keeps lying about Russia and China doing genocides.

Also, if you are posting western propaganda outlets like NYT, The Verge et al, I should also be able to post Russian sources on western propaganda. But you will claim it is "Kremlin" stuff and claim it is invalid, like you are saying about Yandex.

That said, it seems as if it's just reducing the search ranking for Russian "disinformation," not removing results.

DDG uses Bing's index and shows western propaganda results.

You are trying to poke the bear, and seem more suited to Reddit than Lemmy.
