The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

stackdiary.com The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

I'm fairly certain that I was not the only person in the world who thought to himself, "Did they just yoink the entire Internet and bundle it together

From the article:

"I know for a fact that Wikipedia operates under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which explicitly states that if you're going to use the data, you must give attribution. As far as search engines go, they can get away with it because linking back to a Wikipedia article on the same page as the search results is considered attribution.

But in the case of Brave, not only are they disregarding the license - they're also charging money for the data and then giving third parties "rights" to that data."

Any particular add-ons for Firefox other than uBlock Origin? I have Tampermonkey and Stylish, but anything else you all recommend?

I've seen Librewolf being recommended as well.

  Thank you. I've always used Firefox and when Brave came out I thought I'd give it a go, been using it about 50/50 with Firefox. After reading this I'll be getting rid of Brave!
  
  It's a shame. I like what Brave was at the beginning.

  Oh, interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
