Everyone remembers the image of Mark Zuckerbergthe Facebook boss, summoned to explain himself to the US Congress following the scandal over the data collected by the company Cambridge Analytica.

However, alternatives do exist, and France stands out in this market. It's already been five years since Qwant is riding the wave of responsible web design, summed up in this slogan: "the search engine that respects your privacy". This 100 % platform, made in France, is designed to offer a alternative to Google. According to its directors, unlike the American giant, Qwant "does not store or use any personal data for advertising or other purposes".

By processing requests within connected objects themselves, Snips dispenses with the need for a cloud that is often too chatty or exposed to certain intrusions.
