Yes. As a consequence of relying on Bing, DDG is also assisting in the censorship. It makes them part of it. They are not required to use Bing, they choose to.
It puts more emphasis on DDG's need - if their morality play is to continue to be believed - to build their own full-fledged search engine and stop relying so much on Bing & Co.'s results.

Since your other comment here [1] got flagged and dead I can't reply to it, so I am replying here. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing here on Hacker News - glad that there are those here who stand up for the truth - very much ironic (in an Alanis way) that it would be on this very thread.
