the entire world.

I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We’re the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

I agree with you thoroughly.

It didn’t pass. Its just, they keep trying to push for it, but thankfully some countries are still shutting it down.

I’m fairy sure the guy above said “use X” not use social media. X is a particularly shitty platform.

Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.

Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google’s service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.

Yeah, that’s the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that’s it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.

Yikes. Thanks

I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.

I’ve tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.
