Good to hear. Cliqz was always demonstrably anti-US as their core motive [1], I never understood why HN even allowed their domain to post on here. Glad we won't have to keep sending them free traffic and enabling them to spread their influence using the clout of our terrible "market sealing, monopolistic, rule-discarding" country and its products.
I've got nothing against the EU, but I'm happy to hear this one failed because having a core company culture that is principled by frustration / anger over the US (while ignoring its overwhelmingly positive contributions to tech) was bound to foment a globally negative perception on US tech as Cliqz influence grew.
[1] We Europeans have watched for too long how US companies are capturing more and more key technologies and users. How they are forming monopolies. How they are already sealing off the markets of the future today. How they disregard our rules and values and impose theirs on us. How they make vast profits from the exploitation of our data and thus fill their war chest for further campaigns of conquest.
