What will be the fate of search "verticals" (Map Search, Product Search, Video Search, ...)?

Will UNGoogle have the "one box" answers (eg, music lyrics, weather) which give real information from the search results, or just ten blue links?

Will the employment contracts of existing staff (SWEs, SREs, PMs, lawyercats) be transferred to the UN as well? Will employment be maintained on the current terms?

Will the UN employ more "customer service representatives"? What would staffing levels look like, across the UNGoogle?

Will UNGoogle maintain the existing data relationships as Google? Will UNGoogle purchase eg, Geo data from third-parties, or will it just be their privilege to submit their data to UNGoogle?

What will the process look like at UNGoogle for making changes to the ranking algorithms? Will there be an appeals process if a ranking change is detrimental to your business or national interests?



Ungoogle, that's a very inspiring verb. I'll use that to describe the act of getting out of the Google bubble (ie. stop using Google products). Thank you for the inspiration.
