Kagi is now partnering with Brave
(chaos.social)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Don't forget the Brave CEO being ousted from Mozilla for being massively homophobic, donating money to try to overturn the right for gay couples to be married.
E: and them injecting affiliate codes when you copy some links, tracking users. Particularly bad when they relentlessly market themselves as being private
Has he done more than giving 1000 USD in 2008? Any statement for example?
He's spoken out since and said he thinks homophobia is acceptable (in 2014). He's never said he was wrong - he doubled down on it saying people weren't being inclusive of people who hold homophobic views.
Ask yourself if you'd be angry if he spent money campaigning on giving, say, black people fewer rights. I'd imagine you'd be pissed off about that. So what's the difference? Why are you accepting of this?
It's particularly bad that he sells his product as being respectful of people's privacy, yet he wants the state to intervene in people's private lives and prevent them from having equal rights.
By all means, use Brave. I don't care. Use their crypto, use their affiliate links they inject into your browser, whatever. I just personally refuse to support someone who is unrepentantly homophobic.
These days it's easy to get label as -phohic
Cool story bro.
You don't get labeled as "phobic" for thinking that - you get labeled as "phobic" because you've made it, and your complete inability to mind your own business, your entire personality.
Doesn't make sense
He didn't support gay marriage in 2008. Neither did Obama, but he gets a free pass. Is Obama massively homophobic?
Firstly, fuck off with this misrepresentation. I can't be bothered with tedious whataboutism pushed purely to simp for a homophobic millionaire who actively wants people like me to be second class citizens.
He spent money to actively oppose LGBT people having equal rights. That's very different to merely not publicly supporting it in order to avoid backlash from the very people he had to win over to be elected.
One of those is spineless or, charitably, savvy politicking. The other is outright hateful.
And for the record, I'm not American. I couldn't give a shit about Obama. So if this is some kind of "um ackshully you supported Obama, owned much??" doesn't apply to me. Not that it was even a good argument anyway.
He hasn't come out and said that he was wrong or tried to make up for it in any way. He has in fact doubled down on his stance.
Didn't know he doubled down on it. When did he do that?
2014
He didn't comment on it in 2014
Yes he did. Stop defending homophobia.
Prove it, from what I've seen he didn't double down on it, but neither did he apologize for it.
Easy to find. Why don't you look for it on your precious Brave search engine?
Why are you so ardently defending a hateful piece of shit? One who also donated money to a politician who said that AIDS is a punishment from god and that it's right for gay people to be exterminated through disease?
Does it get your little dick hard when minority groups have fewer rights than you or something?
I did look for it and I didn't find him doubling down. You're the one making the claim, why don't you link me? Or maybe you're just bullshitting me
When did he double down?
2014
Didn't know he doubled down on it. When did he do that?
Has he made a statement to the contrary?
No, but he did do an interview years later where he doubled down, and complained that people weren't being inclusive of those with homophobic views.
Basically the "so much for the tolerant left! They're not even tolerant of my intolerance!" argument lol
Neither did the CEO of Grindr, later than that, lol
