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.

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

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

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

So much about not having a filter bubble on DuckDuckGo.

Is Korea’s internet that censored?

The porn part definitely is.

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

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

Even if I set ddg to strict filtering it still shows a result. <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/69466923-bac8-417c-90ca-3dc836ec6b49.png">

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

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.
