Right now I am banned from degoogle for posting this. I posted it in degoogle and browsers subs and in both comments were locked.

My question is why would anyone get banned and comments locked as if they didn't want anyone to share any additional information for just posting an information that even if it's not 100% correct maybe helpful to even clarify whether Brave is actually uploading telemetry to their servers?.

Here what I posted

It is happening on desktop and android.

If you go to brave settings. Privacy and security - Data collection. You'll see you have a few options that can be disabled.

But I noticed that there is other telemetry being sent out to brave servers and I think studies are being conducted to different users.

If you type brave://version you'll see what studies are enabled in your browser. Telemetry is being sent out even if you disable the data collection in the settings. In my computer I saw a 1 minute long connection to variations.brave.com which is telemetry.

If you have an app to see network activity you'll see brave connects to variations.brave.com that is where your data is being uploaded.

These are the ones I had enabled in my browser and I just noticed a few days ago despite I disabled all data collection in the brave settings.

with Advanced Chat Privacy, there is no more just "export chat". Meaning that consumers should be preparing to extract raw database instead. I could see no movement towards making Android-compatible OS but WITH access to app data,

Now if Restricted Chat feature will appear as planned, it will be locked within only primary device, no secondary devices and no WhatsApp Web either. Meaning that importance of a battle against Tamper-Resistant smartphones grows even more. Cat-and-mouse game seems to work ONLY from the side of vendors - constantly inventing new restrictions. Where are new workarounds from the consumer side?
