> Annoyingly, Microsoft also back in May decided to just remove us from Bing News and massively deranked us, following 1 single hour downtime due to a data centre problem and show no signs of putting us back in - which was a bit of a blow (so we barely appear in anything like DuckDuckGo now). I've tried explaining this to Microsoft, and they just don't care.

Maybe they don't care. But sidelining publications like this works in Microsoft's favor, whether they're explicitly/deliberately working towards that outcome or not.

FWIW we (DuckDuckGo) have largely moved in another direction for news results, at least in the US so far.

So you do mostly use Bing for news, but have partially replaced it in the US?

Why speak in riddles?

I did not consider it to be a riddle, but it would be nice to know what they are using for X (News, Photos, whatever). Is this information available anywhere? I went to DDG's News, but could not find anything related to Bing.
