![DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4d05fcc5-dc9a-40d0-882f-8f419a0f3091.jpeg){kind=link}
It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

Funny thing is the way I found out bing was down is I searched for startpage in duckduckgo to try it thinking it might be a good alternative but when DDG wasnt working I tried it on ecosia. which was also down once I finally opened start page it wasn’t working either. Its all bing all the way down.
youcare.world is still up but that is based on google and I am not sure how legit the tree planting is. Not to mention their privacy policy mentions facebook which is always a red flag. https://youcare.world/privacy?l=en
they’ve also recently implemented an Al chatbot, which will probably offset all the trees they’ve ever planted in the next week or so
edit: I read the comment above me too quickly, I was talking about Ecosia mentioned in the comment before that one, not Youcare.
