Sridhar Ramaswamy, former head of search and advertising at Google, has launched Neeva, a subscription-based, ad-free search engine. Ramaswamy's departure from Google was motivated by the inherent conflicts of interest in the advertising model, which he argues leads to censorship and the prioritization of "brand safety" over user experience and free expression.
