Google is no longer a search engine

At least that is based on the new definition, approved by the European Parliament.

As strange as it sounds, Google It is not a search engine. At least, so says the European Parliament. After two years of negotiation and preparation of the legislative process, it was decided to rethink the search engines.

Why does not Google is a search engine?

According to the new definition of the European Union, a search engine is a service, which scans and looking for all sites, without applying any filters or exceptions. And Google does not yet have the resources in their sites, operating in the Tor network.

Besides, Google lost its category agreeing to EU rules. This applies in particular to the so-called right to be forgotten, that can not take place in a search engine. American service also removes references to illegal sites, eg, containing pornographic material.

neither Bing, ни Yahoo, us DuckDuckGo… Ни один из этих сервисов не может классифицироваться как поисковая система.

So what is search engine?

The official definition is as follows:: Bot is a digital service, which allows users to search, usually, all websites or subsets, based on the request, said keywords or phrases; after which it displays links, where you can find information on the required topic.

Таким образом Google больше не является поисковой системой….. What do you think about this?
