on a related note, duckduckgo clearly on that #censorship because :
I even put CGTN in the query and nope. Only western media outlets. So laughable since I started using duckduckgo to avoid google's tracking, but even google will relent and provide me a link to CGTN
Duckduck go admitted shortly after the start of the Ukraine SMO that they deprioritize Russian media in essence censoring them by pushing them to the very bottom. Not a surprise they do the same for Chinese media given their defense of that move in the face of outrage about that kind of censorship.
They even censor mildly left Portuguese-language outlets like Operamundi, which I suppose is sort of critical of Ukraine, but honestly it's a really bad search engine too. At least it is a bit tamer with the AI.
Calling it a special military operation is just as cringe as the liberals who say "full-scale invasion".
It's a war.
Well I don't want to call it the start of the war which is why I put it like that.
The fact is the war was started by the US Nazi Ukrainian proxies in 2014 and involved Ukrainian citizens fighting one another for 8 years. Russia simply got involved in an existing war that was on the verge of escalating.
I refuse to accept or propagate the western propaganda framing of Russia as the aggressor which is why I put it that way. They didn't start the war, they got involved in one being waged against them instead of turning the other cheek. But that's not a succinct way of putting it.
I think the difference there is the distinction as to when the war began.
People say "special military operation" not to try to reframe it as something less than a war, but because it is a part of a war that was already ongoing. It's a way of referring to specific military actions that took place as part of the larger conflict. The war didn't start in 2022, if OP had written "DDG admitted shortly after the start of the Ukraine war that they deprioritize..." their statement wouldn't be true anymore.
Saying SMO isn't trying to be cheeky or downplay the war, it is just providing a specific point of reference.
