We were invited by BFM TV to celebrate our German kick-off.
Yesterday (03.11.14) Jean-Manuel Rozan was on the set of “Grand Journal” presented by Hedwig Chevrillon. In a post-Snowden era (NSA/PRISM…), our co-founder and president wanted to remind people that respecting and preserving the privacy of Internet users is our main objective.
In this first part of the interview, Hedwige Chevrillon and Jean-Manuel Rozan talk about respect for privacy, web neutrality and the need for a European alternative.
Neutrality and respect for Internet users are the foundations of Qwant. “We want to prove that things can be done in a different way” JMR
People all over the world are beginning to understand that they need to regain their privacy and independence.
European level / Official kick-off in Germany / The evolution of Qwant.
Two questions are frequently asked during interviews and meetings with journalists:
Is Qwant a long-term project? Would you like to sell?
JMR: “It’s crazy. We’re planning to do something relevant and really useful for people, that’s transparent and user-oriented.”
