    What does the creation of a multi-national state owned search engine have to do with Google? I presume nations have the resources to do that all on their own.

    What would you suggest the Google search engine be allowed to do to profit as a business?

      There’s no suggestion. There is currently no way a search engine can be a viable modern business model and a good tool at the same time. It could potentially be a good business model and a decent tool even with ads, but only in a world where we accept that things can’t grow forever.
