Why there's no European Google? And why it is a good thing
- nothercastle 9mo agoWe need a Google replacement that’s actually regulated. Euro Google is the only way for that to happen
- Bratmon 9mo agoIf you want regulations, try Baidu. They get rid of non-government-approved thoughts really quick.
- Sabinus 9mo agoThe free speech absolutism rethoric from the USA is getting pretty old, especially since you don't practice it yourselves.
- DauntingPear7 9mo agoThe unregulated monopoly that is google has really served us well too. Instead of non-government-approved thoughts we get SEO slop, sponsored links, AI overviews, mass data collection, listicles, and unhelpful search results. Seems like both extremes aren’t good right? Maybe don’t be disingenuous?
- techIA 9mo agoEven after a long three years, it's still important content; open source will never go out of style. In fact, nothing about technology will ever cease to be important, even if it's from its early days.
- dzonga 9mo agothis is one way to spread positivity, not the usual doom & gloom around European-tech spread by tech bro's on shitter. prosperity and openness for everyone - however europeans tend to shoot themselves in the foot with the extra bureaucracy
- rondaerth92 9mo agoBecause Europeans would take decades to write regulations for their own Google, and it wouldn't work because of the sheer number of prohibitions they already have. Also a lot of stingy investors there, and too much hedonism.
- ibobev 9mo agoIsn't Yandex a European Google? :D
