> we rely on multiple non-governmental and non-political organizations that specialize in objectively assessing journalistic standards.

This is a vaguely worded workaround for applying censorship, especially without giving a specific list of organizations that they consult. The use of the term "objective" is very sneaky here, even manipulative. I didn't realize DuckDuckGo did this - how disappointing.

Time to start trying other search engines, perhaps a proxied or self-hosted one like SearXNG as GP suggested.
