@pheasant_plucker @Mojeek start page, after some redditors from r/#BuyFromEU made some digging, turns out not to be European. Stay with #Qwant or #Ecosia. The best what we’ve got right now. They have joined forces to make a #European search engine.

@pheasant_plucker @heisinen UK withdraw from EU and EEA so can't guarantee the same law protection like GDPR. Also, UK is member of the Five Eyes.

@pheasant_plucker @heisinen Thank you for the clarification, I read that they were thinking to opt out but clearly IR didn't happen.

@zbrando @heisinen Certain right wingers would like that but they created so much other chaos that they never got round to it before losing the election. Could happen in the future though.
