@knexcar@throwslemy@Clent Maybe you won't face a problem with law enforcement caused by some company sharing your data with the law enforcement. On an individual level, yeah sure, you probably won't get affected. But on a societal level, do we accept having some people's lives ruined by these techniques? I don't think so.
In general, is it acceptable that we give some for-profit companies full access to our data so they can manipulate our buying behaviors with their targeted ads?
@governorkeagan@throwslemy Privacy Guides has a set of objective criteria to judge a browser's security and privacy. People tend to hate Brave for reasons unrelated to security and privacy. Like the CEO's politics, crypto (and recently AI) integration in the browser, some shady history about injecting referral codes, etc.
Personally, I wish I could find an alternative that is as good as Brave. Until then, I'll keep using it as it is perfect for my needs.
@progettarsi Then they shouldn't publicize their app as a private messaging app, since they have access to our supposedly private conversations. That is actively harming their users because they're giving them a false sense of security. I have some IRL friends who think Telegram is more private than WhatsApp (which is obviously wrong because WhatsApp at least uses E2EE by default) due to this false publicity.
