"Inclusion in the digital spaces has become the main cause of exclusion."
👉 "I am because you are, and your are because I am" - These African principles of #Ubuntu got ousted by algorithms driven by rather invisible economic + political agendas, said @AKNdaka at

Websearch is more complicated + starts way earlier than most people think!
See the overview of the #OpenWebSearch workflow from selection + query of web resources to the creation of the actual #WebIndex to Applications such as #SearchEngines and #LLMs

What does a slice of chorizo have to do with open #websearch? @Dr. Tim Smith from @cern shows the added value of an #OpenWebIndex for #internetsearch in his TED Talk "Navigating the Entangled Web" using examples from physics.
Highly recommended!
