r/privacy doesn't let people say "Peter Thiel is involved with Brave"
Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.
Accessible at Reddit or Reveddit
(There are no subreddit rules banning "political propaganda" or "character assassination." Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)
lmao, of course he is. I've been bashing Brave since Ethereum markets took off and they did their shitcoin that of course they abandoned two months later. Quit blocking ads with grifter software trash like Brave.
preach
Isn't r/privacy taken over by conservatives
Imagine being so fucking ignorant that you actually liked Brave even before finding out Thiel was involved. Eich's involvement was already enough (fuck that guy for inflicting Javascript on the world), let alone the fact that its business model is a protection racket wrapped in a crypto scam.
(Not trying to downplay Eich's bigotry, BTW, just trying to raise awareness of all the other underappreciated ways that he sucks.)
Eeeep I am one of those ignorant people. Had no idea. Funny enough I switched back to Firefox a few weeks ago for other reasons.
Brave always reeked of VC money with all the promotion they do. It genuinely turns me off whenever I see supposed "for the community" software with heavy marketing.
TIL. I hope that evil fucker dies (of natural causes, but soon, please).
Im okay if he dies in a car crash, 'act of god', falling into a centrifuge, being on an elon musk rocket, private billionaire submarine, cthulu breaching the walls of reality, shredded by an angry ghost, eaten by giant possibly magic possibly engineered spiders.
There are a lot of ways it woukd be cool for him to die.
Hell; I'd be pretty psyched about some of these for me.
What??!!?? That Peter Thiel? Could you give me a link about that?
From a non-deleted comment on that thread:
Yup, Brave is financed in part by Peter Thiel's founders fund (and a bunch of other shady venture capitalists) which has funded Palantir and others.
Others also link to a couple videos about Thiel to what I presume was somebody asking about him.
Do we do Reddit here? Because I can post shit load of my posts and comments being removed due to them being critical of Israel - and that was well before the current genocide chapter. Mods there are awful and admins are even worse.
BTW I now realised who unpopularopinion mod may have picked up from 🤔
Reddit is the corporate shill of the internet. The shareholders, did you ever think of them when you criticized Israel?
😂
Do we do Reddit here?
Unfortunately
Yes, it's always fun to click on links that are reddit and meta because people think we actually want to do that. It's largely why I just post links as they are, unless they're just stupidly long.
Thiel has his creepy hands everywhere nowadays. Doesn't surprise me the least bit.
Especially his boy toy fell out of a multistory building(sound familiar) under suspicious circumstances last year, it barely made the news outside of Florida and was on Reddit for one day. When he start expressing concerns about thiels anti lgbti- support via the gop. Thiel definitely don't want the news to be widespread.
I think it's been this way for a long time, but now people are talking about it.
Damn. So, assuming it’s true, what would be a suitable alternative? Is Firefox compromised or nah?
Firefox is definitely a better browser than Brave (which has a history that's riddled with controversy), but there are a couple forks of it that intentionally make it more private too.
But for practical purposes, installing Firefox and disabling Telemetry is more than acceptable for the average person!
Even if Firefox were compromised by megalomaniacal shitheads, it would still be worth picking over any Chromium-based browser because every Chromium-based browser helps cement Google's hegemony over web standards.
FF has problems of depending on Google for money
