I am talking about privacy, i was not talking about search engine (indexing websites text and pulling results).
You are missing the point completely here, privacy should not be a debatable subject, laws should been in place to fully protect humans from data markets, governments should never allowed this situation (where google sells your information) to exist.
I agree with your policy position. The three options should be:
Crowd-funded, free to use, privacy preserving
Paid, privacy preserving
Self-hosted
A fourth “free to use, subsidized through data collection” option shouldn’t even be legal.
But we’re not there yet. And in order to get there, we need companies like Kagi to populate the second category so that when politicians say “but how will they make money if they can’t sell data?” we have examples to point to.
