If a search engine starts censoring by whatever means, I'll not be using it, neither free or paid no matter how good it is (and by definition it can't be). Shills can provide a list of countries they don't want to see, hopefully some crooked search engine will satisfy their desire for censorship.
Then you have to stop using search engines.
Censorship of search results and deciding which companies to do business with are two completely separate topics.
Censorship? This isn't about free speech, there's a war on.
There's not just one war on, there are many. Should Kagi exclude all the results from American companies because of the actions of the US government in Iran?

No search engines are uncensored, not even Yandex. Partly because they have to exist in a country somewhere, and partly because really nobody wants to index CSAM.

We are not talking about censoring anything here, just buying paid sources of index data.

I am unhappy with money flowing into Russia, for reasons that should be obvious (and I will not respond to whataboutism-style baiting here).
