    This is good, but I wish projects like this, and Europe in general would look wider than Europe. There are many in the rest of the world and Americans too, who are aching to be freed from anti-democratic, unregulated oligarchic big tech.

    Edit: A WSP (World Search Perspective), started and owned by Europeans, could aim to index everything, and be real competition to Google and Bing. There isn’t any real prospect that every country or region could do this for themselves.

      Has to start somewhere. And I think the world would not appreciate Europe trying to decide what’s good for the world. If the world wants, then EUSP can expand.

        Europe would not be deciding anything for the rest of the world (who also has no such thing as a representative voice that could speak to EUSP about what it wants). But as long as the index indexes everything, it could compete with the Google and Bing indexes, and people and organisations in the rest of the world would have a real and viable new option.

    This is all just a pull back from yankkkee big tech but eventually it will be spoiled and become the same monster that the yank created. The vassels will try to become the thing they hate. Capitalism remains. This is self interest. I ain’t hatin on it but it is what it is. No celebration need to apply.
