This is the heart of our commitment. When we founded Qwant, we were convinced that search engines, like all other players in the digital world, have a special responsibility: to guarantee the right to freedom of expression and free access to information, while protecting its users from malicious content, especially terrorist or violent content.<\/p>\n
Like around the world, we were horrified by the terrorist attack in Christchurch and we share the grief of New Zealand and the families of the victims. As a French company headquartered in a capital that has experienced similar tragedies on several occasions, as a European search engine that carries our common values, these events have strengthened our will to act with determination for a better future.<\/p>\n
That’s why Qwant, along with the Wikimedia<\/strong> Foundation, Twitter<\/strong>, Microsoft<\/strong>, Facebook<\/strong>, Amazon<\/strong>, Google<\/strong> and Dailymotion<\/strong>, today joined governments following the Christchurch Call to eliminate terrorist and extreme violent content from the web.<\/p>\n The call outlines the collective and voluntary commitments of governments and online service platforms to prevent Internet abuse. It recalls that our actions ” must be consistent with the principles of a free, open and secure Internet, without compromising human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression<\/em> “.<\/p>\n This call to action is a unique opportunity to make progress in protecting a free, open and secure Internet. We look forward to working with governments, civil society and business partners to share our expertise and initiatives for this cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since its creation, Qwant has been committed to addressing the concerns of European citizens who want their values and fundamental rights to be promoted in the services they use on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":81,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,46],"tags":[37,36],"class_list":["post-714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-better-web-en","category-qwant-news-en-2","tag-fr-en","tag-opinion-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
