Reminder: Humans have existed for like 200,000 years, and there are around 9 billion humans alive right now. Whatever you’re struggling with, someone else is struggling with it too, and we’ve been struggling with it for millennia.

The point: you are not alone. ❤️

@blacklight447 @squire Thank you.

Qwant works daily to build his own index and become completely independent. However, the process is long and requires a lot of time from our technical teams.

We explain on our blog #BetterWeb where we stand with the web indexing we are currently doing.

We did it! We came together as a community and met our fundraising goal to defend software freedom from patent litigation.
💙
Next up comes the hard part - winning this lawsuit and setting precedent. Stay tuned for updates as we progress forward

This isn’t #privacy related, but the needs of humanity are above all else - Our small bubble of colleagues have already donated about 400 trees to the #teamtrees initiative to plant TWENTY MILLION trees by 2020.

Please consider donating.
Only $1 gets 1 tree planted.

https://teamtrees.org/

+6 million have been donated in only three-ish days.

Keep the ball rolling until we hit 20 million!
