European search index by Ecosia and Qwant: https://blog.ecosia.org/launching-our-european-search-index/
The article is about Europeans sharing their inventions instead of making them into monopolies that make billionaires instead of helping the common good.
But upboat for Ecosia!
Despite the title, the article presents many well reasoned arguments that Europeans are making many important contributions to technology and society and that it is better to do it the European way rather than becoming better at creating monopolies and extracting wealth from society, like the big American tech. companies.

“It’s hard to be more European than the Web! It looks like the Official European Joke! (And, yes, I consider Brits Europeans. They will join us back, we miss them, I promise.)”
We miss you too :( . However, we, as a country, also have a lot of personal shit to work through, so it’ll probably be a while.
Why we have no technology and it’s actually a good thing !
Also completely wrong since there is Qwant and Mojeek (I didn’t mention the rest since they are entirely reliant on either Bing, Google or brave in the case of GOOD)
Another terrible sensationalist headline with nice double speech included.
Shame since the article itself is actually decent.
Nothing sensationalist about it, it says exactly what the article is about. We don’t have mega tech companies and that is a good thing
Fuck mega tech companies, long love open source everything
I like this text very much!
People should concentrate more on what’s important in life :)
The poor English in the title actually makes it ambiguous
