    I have to wonder if this is just because they're disappearing from Bing and DuckDuckGo uses Bing for its search results?

    It's ironically amusing, in a bitter sort of way, that some of the legislators who've whined about Google, Facebook and Twitter "censorship" are behind the law involved in these takedowns.

    That's weird because currently all of those searches (except 1) still show the results that the article says have been removed.

      When I tried I got different domains, but not the primary one. For instance when I search "1337x", I don't get the .to one that I normally would.

        I wonder if it's a CDN issue or something then? I'll check again in a day or 2.

        Must have been slow synchronisation - today they are all gone. Interesting that their wikipedia pages are all very close to top which all have the "official" domains. edit: Fitgirl is still there....

        edit: Fitgirl is still there. I have no idea what's going on.
