For the people who have not yet decided on a search engine. The most EU way you can go is Ecosia or Qwant as they are building their own search index.
Ecosia is my personal pick as its also aimed at planting trees and they have quite a good browser alongside it.
I can confirm it’s resolving rt.com. I’ve tested on two ISPs here in Denmark and both block the domain. I’m wondering if there are regional differences in the legislation or edicts.
