We’re teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index
blog.ecosia.org

For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

    @JasSmith Well there is a whole discussion to be had about banning media who is spouting lie after lie after lie and are propaganda machines for the respective regimes.

    But before you just assume censorship… try it yourself. I can open rt.com, tass etc and search for them.

    Sometimes the search result are all nerfed to hell, but they are there.

    And some pages (Zwezda) seem to have blocked access from my country at least, but that’s on their site & RT does not have a valid certificate…

      rt.com is blocked for me. If you can access it and you’re based in the EU it means you’re using a foreign DNS provider like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.

      I understand well the arguments used by governments to restrict access to books and websites. I reject them. I believe I am the best person to decide which knowledge I am allowed to access. I am certainly far more qualified than the government.
