I suggest that if EUcrats want their internet censorship laws to apply worldwide, Google/etc should give them a taste of their own medicine and apply every other countries censorship laws to their connections. Targetting them at home would be difficult without affecting other innocent parties; but the IP ranges owned by EU organizations should be easy enough to get. Between China's Great Firewall (just dust off the old code from when Google was playing along; a bit dated but enough to make the point) and then add the filters required to comply with every other theocracy and dictatorship world wide. When they find 99% of the internet is blocked or broken perhaps they'll get the point.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Agreed. There was a good example of this a few months back when a German publication got themselves off of Google News. When they realized how much money they were losing, they came back pretty fast.
Although, I'm sure the EU could come up with their own search engine. Yahoo would probably love the traffic.

The search engine most used in the EU to find proxies to bypass EU search engine restrictions?

Once upon a time, Unity promised to overhaul the way developers would build user interfaces in their Unity-powered games. This was roughly around the time man discovered fire. Something for the pew-pew crowd

[T]here's one big place on Apple's devices where Google is still the default option: the Safari search bar. Microsoft's Bing, Yahoo (also Bing-powered), and the privacy-minded DuckDuckGo are all included as options, but Google has been the default for as long as iPhones have existed.
That may change next year according to a report from The Information (paywall). Apple and Google's search agreement is reportedly set to expire soon, and both Microsoft and Yahoo are already said to be talking with Apple Internet Software and Services SVP Eddy Cue about becoming Safari's default search option.
The search engine most used to change the default search engine?

I remember when the world was Yahoo!
Then along came the quiet Google and stole it all away.
Here is how it simply happened.
I went to do a search on Yahoo! and there was an article that 100% annoyed me.
I went to the clean Google search interface and never left it.
After that, Google invented Android Pads, A Web Browser and cars that drove themselves.
Meanwhile, Yahoo! forgot to do anything except repost AP and Reuters articles. Meh.

Tech companies and trade groups contend more green cards or guest worker visas are needed to keep tech industries growing because of a shortage of qualified American workers. But scholars say there’s a problem with that argument: The tech worker shortage doesn’t actually exist. They've found us!

I knew it. But I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't want them to fire me.
They don't need us! They've got computers. But don't let them know.
