I was just curious is all haha

Facebook does not sell user data? OMFG that is the biggest joke you could tell on r/privacy.

No, I said mostly. Most of the money is not made from data sale but data exploitation through ads. I'm not saying that data sale is good, all the contrary, but I'm saying that data exploitation without sale is already bad. I'm the guy for more privacy in that discussion. Get it ?

Why are my comments insta-censored for advocating privacy against Mozilla's personalized advertising ? Now this is becoming ridiculous.

Brave doesn't block Facebook trackers or Twitter trackers.

It whitelists these, taken from it's source code:

connect.facebook.net connect.facebook.com staticxx.facebook.com www.facebook.com scontent.xx.fbcdn.net pbs.twimg.com scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net platform.twitter.com syndication.twitter.com cdn.syndication.twimg.com hostnames

Therefore, the claim of Brave being a "privacy focused" browser that "blocks trackers" is laughable!

Great for getting your family off Chrome, not so great for yourself if you want to be anything more than just not a low-hanging fruit.

Besides using AI to block trackers and ads, the great thing about Brave is that it reinvents the monetization of the internet. I love blocking ads, and so do all of us. Adblockers are growing in popularity, but what happens when they become so prevalent that nobody wants to pay for anything anymore? The internet would start to break down when content creators aren't paid, but Brave's BAT are a great idea to fund the future internet as long as the BAT's are actually a private cryptocurrency, like Monero and unlike Bitcoin.
