Just try having a discussion about Age or ID Verification or the Brave Browser and see how quickly you get dogpiled and downvoted to hell if what you think isn’t the accepted orthodoxy.
If your opinion is that Age verification is a good thing or the Brave Browser isn’t a product of a company which has a right-wing homophobe as CEO then your opinion is colliding with hard facts.
Age Verification is simply deanonymization of the internet through the backdoor, raising a lot of privacy and cybersecurity questions. Paradoxically, it creates security risks for the children “being protected”.
Brendan Eich is NOT a good person. He is averifiedhomophobe , conspiracytheorist and his browser, even if it’s currently a good deal for the end user, is under constant pressure from shareholders to produce more revenue. It is therefore prone to enshittification in the future. Also, even if the browser blocks third party trackers by default, should you opt in to Brave ads, there is local behavioral tracking and tokenized reporting going on , which enables indirect tracking.
You have your right to your opinion. You don’t have the right to be shielded from criticism for your opinions, and it is the in the literal job description for a moderator to curb misinformation to ensure the health of a community.
It’s true.
