Has any one noticed anything since the Cloudflare outage?

All of a sudden my Duck Duck Go search engine won't bring up a lot of porn related images.

I tried Duck Duck Go and brave and a few others I searched up just to check.
Brave is wild because with it's safe search off it gives me no porn image results but it I set it to moderate it shows the adult images.

I didn't have any problems until the other day when almost everything was out because of Cloudflare.

DDG has had no images in an update I have and also doesn't display some CloudFlare sites properly (I think they keep looking like a new visit with their protection).

@SomeMichGuy The search results, as far as images, is definitely sanitized now.

I switched back over to Gibiru for my search engine from DuckDuck go.
I searched Cinderella porn in both and got porn stuff in Gibiru and sanitized stuff in DuckDuckgo.

I never had any issues before that Cloudflare outage.

Just check "girl intimate with cucumber" on both and got the same result.

@MikeHurts I have had NO images on DDG since installing V 5.254.1

I always turn off ALL AI (incl. showing AI images) and it often tells me to change my search params to allow AI...even when there should be SPECIFIC real images.

And no, allowing AI images doesn't fix it, and turning off their anti-tracking doesn't, either.

@SomeMichGuy I was also getting results like that as well. When it did decide to show results they were of farmers gardens and pictures of little girls.

I never had anything like this happen before. The only thing that I know changed was that Cloudflare outage.
It's happening on other search engines not just DDG.
But for some reason Gibiru is working fine.

Also it's just the images that seem to have been sanitized.
The other results are still the same.

@MikeHurts Sanitized is one thing; NONE is crazy.

@SomeMichGuy Well I got tired of messing with it and just switched my search engine to Gibiru.
It's one of those that keeps your stuff private.

@MikeHurts ok

Gibiru
