Google is only blocked in places where it would already be hard for a company with morals to work in, if not outright blocked as well. This probably represents traffic globally, excluding those places.
Instead of downvoting blindly, please state which countries are currently blocking Google that would willingly allow Kagi, a AI/Privacy focused search engine company to exist in their domain? The results may surprise you!
Google is not blocked in the USA.
Interesting. I'm in the US and use Kagi everyday.
I read it more as "company having morals". Not many US companies have "morals".

So you use Google. Kagi still rely on Googles index.
Google and Facebook would be very happy to operate in China, but they're too closely tied to the US intelligence apparatus to agree to the terms that China requires.
For years Facebook wanted to get into Chinese market, so much that Zuckerberg asked Xi Jinping to name his child: https://www.the-independent.com/news/people/china-s-presiden...
No I didn't make this up.
And there was reporting like this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/zuckerberg-s-meta-was-w...
Although a few years they seemed to completely abandon the effort and started to criticize China, although I can't find the article.
You'll be amazed at how quickly Zuckerberg "adapts" to things. Which is why I never trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.
there is no where in the article where they mention this (not even an * saying what they exclude).
they present numbers and say "world" like whole countries and groups of people don't matter. very arrogant.
