      Well, it’s about Peter Thiel, who also founded the Palantir surveillance technology company. As a source for his involvement with Brave, Wikipedia cites this TechCrunch article, which mentions funding from Thiel’s “Founders Fund”.

      I’d rather criticize Brave for other reasons though, like being led by Brendan Eich or supporting crypto.

        That’s the best reason, but somebody already mentioned it and I didn’t want to be redundant.

        is it cool to hate crypto now? I thought the sort of people who use Lemmy would be all for the idea

          Crypto is a scammers paradise.
