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.
Yes. By default we don’t want any government intervention. But the “government overreach” needs to be addressed on the specific cases where it happens.
While this statement is true sometimes, it is also again an oversimplification. I don’t think even you believe this. If a website contains illegal content, would you really prefer for the government to not intervene?
Classic examples would be the sale of hard drugs and child pictures.
We all agree more than we disagree. But communication is hard and most subjects, especially the hard ones, are not black and white.
That’s a fair and nuanced take. You’re right that there should be some exceptions for illegal content, but my line is clearly much further into the freedom spectrum than the EU has drawn that line. To roll up to my original claim: they would immediately ban many sites on any search engine they created, and they would do so for many reasons I am uncomfortable with.
