Well, no, which is why I threw in Kagi and Yandex as well. I can imagine Google and Microsoft altering rankings for certain results for political reasons, but Kagi seems too small to care about that, and Yandex isn't operating from the same political playbook as western corporations.
Now, in defense of your theory, I did double check Kagi and found out that they use Bing and Google for some queries, so the only truly "untainted" one is Yandex, which doesn't have ADL on the first page, or the next five that I checked.
That said, as I mentioned they do surface SPLC, which is similar in tone and content.
Limited sample size, but I think it's still plausible that ADL is an organic result.
I also checked Yahoo, and it has ADL as the third result.
I checked Baidu and Naver, and didn't see ADL, but I assume they're prioritizing regional content.
