Full text is:

"Hi,

Finally I was able to register to this forum! (think you guys blocked those proprietary email providers, eg. outlook :)

I am advocating free software awareness in China. I used GNU/Linux for some time and I found Trisquel very cool with a strong commitment of freedom and privacy.

Could I suggest that, when I install and use Trisquel in Chinese (Simplified) language, I found the search engines of Abrowser are bad. Almost all of them listed are involved in surveillance. Baidu is the notorious one which has huge and hidden relationship with the government of China.

I just think those who loved to use Trisquel are who emphasis much on this issue and therefore would never use these search engines any more.

Could the developers / maintainers remove such options for searching?

Thanks, and Warmly
GNUserCN"
