For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.

Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.

Yes. By default we don't want any government intervention. But the "government overreach" needs to be addressed on the specific cases where it happens.

I don't believe any government has the right to restrict which books and news sites I should be allowed to access. I think I am the best person to decide which knowledge I should have access to.

While this statement is true sometimes, it is also again an oversimplification. I don't think even you believe this. If a website contains illegal content, would you really prefer for the government to not intervene?

Classic examples would be the sale of hard drugs and child pictures.

We all agree more than we disagree. But communication is hard and most subjects, especially the hard ones, are not black and white.
