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.
The bot behind this initiative has been appearing in server logs for years, but there are still no meaningful results. After all, how useful is an index ("9.15 Billion URLs crawled") if there is no search engine? I finally just blocked the bot.
"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.
