Less than a week to go till #FreeWebSearchDay comes back around! ๐ค
Now, more than ever, we need to reinforce the importance of free & direct access to knowledge on the web. Additionally, we should all work on our search literacy skills โ this is why awareness is key.
#FWSD is growing + gaining new supporters, such as Maike Scholz from BVDW e.V., who raises her voice to draw attention to this important topic!
Thank you Maike, for speaking up and supporting our mission!

Happy #FreeWebSearchDay everybody! To celebrate free & open search, we interviewed two developers who've built search engines that free you from the commercial web.
Simon Descarpentries @Siltaer created Meta-Press to search the news free of middlemen, trackers and fake news.
Viktor Lofgren built Marginalia Search to let you find your way to small quality websites.
