And another private company is not the answer I believe. We need something more drastic, an open-source search engine organized as a genuine non-profit organization. Something like that. Otherwise, whatever replaces Google will just turn into another Google as soon as it gets any momentum.
Maybe an alternative revenue model instead of ads.
