Needs to closely monitor its 3 rd party advertising activities
DDG recently admitted it passes on some information ( via Bing ) . Today , 11 th Aug ' 22 I was reading about illegal weapons for sale on eBay UK and then was reflecting upon some of my own DDG search results . Far too many are for eBay or Amazon . Qwant seems a better option for balanced search results , though isn't widely used .
Last week whilst separately searching for craft beers and a certain whisky , found DDG showed results for eBay UK . eBay UK does not permit the sale of alcohol ( for obvious reasons ) yet here at the top of the search results , were cases of craft beer and bottles of whiskey with thumbnail photos , apparently being sold through eBay .
I would seriously doubt alcohol is being sold through eBay UK , but strongly suggest DDG monitor these adverts as the chances are they were fraudulent and would direct the user to a fake website ?
