Thank you for this gem.

Greywall/Greyproxy aims to address this. I haven't tried it yet though.

I think it's worth mentioning the Open Web Search initiative [1] and the Open Web Index [2] specifically.

> 14 renowned European research and computing centers have joined forces to develop an open European infrastructure for web search. The initiative is contributing to Europe’s digital sovereignty as well as promoting an open human-centered search engine market. [1]

> The Open Web Index (OWI) is a European open source web index pilot that is currently in Beta testing phase. The idea: Collaboratively and transparently secure safe, sovereign and open access to the internet for European organisations and civil society. The index stores well structured open web data, making it available for search applications and LLMs. [3]

In that spirit, France is now doing the Bagnole https://kilow.com/en/pages/la-bagnole

It's worth noting that it could have dramatic consequences for some people.

In France, public television raised the alarm a few years ago about the anonymization of voices and the blurring of faces of investigative sources. As a result, an anonymization policy has been implemented requiring that voices be replaced by an actor reading the text and that people be filmed from behind at the very least, or even replaced by an actor altogether.

More problematic are the archives of past investigations, which put people like political dissidents and witnesses against organized crime or the mafia at high risk of suffering retaliation. To mitigate this risk, tens of videos have been taken down, and efforts have been made to contact those who may be affected.
