      Anyone wishing to support France and Europe can start with changing their search engine from google / duckduckgo to Qwant.

      Qwant is France based .

      If you’re using android change your DNS to Quad9.

      Haven’t used iOS for a while so not sure if it can be done? Please feel free to comment on how to do it

        Yes, it can and should be done! Unfortunately, it has to be done on a per-Wi-Fi basis, so you need to set it up for every Wi-Fi network separately, but it’s still worth doing for your home/work Wi-Fi.
        Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > tap on the ‘i’ icon on the right of the Wi-Fi name > scroll down to ‘Configure DNS’ > select ‘Manual’ > tap on ‘Add server’ > enter 86.54.11.13 and 86.54.11.213 for DNS4EU with ad and malware filtering, or enter any other IPs you want to use. I personally use these two and they work very well.

          Thanks. Also if you know people who migrated from developing countries then ask them to use European tech. I have noticed that akk my Indian and filipino colleagues heavily use american Tech. Their brain only tells them to use google, Facebook, instagram
