It's a bit more than just hype: it's rebranding Bing results to make them more palatable to a EU audience, while guzzling on public subsidies to pretend it's a EU unicorn and gather support from nationalists.

This seems like a weird accusation given that government VC arms like In-Q-Tel or institutions like DARPA invest heavily in Silicon Valley tech firms, not to mention that the national science foundation supported the development of pagerank itself[1].

The EU would be stupid to not support the development of an independent technology sector.
