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."

    Well I am already used to using software from people who I don’t agree with in politics.

    We are using one right now, Lemmy’s devs are AFAIK tankies, and that doesn’t really matter.

    Also not all people share your political opinions.

      how are you going to call “this group shouldn’t have the rights that everyone else has” something as quaint as a “political opinion”

          you know, it’s really funny that every time someone goes “I don’t care about <XYZ>'s open political opinions, only that they keep doing/making the thing I want” they invariably end up being some kind of right-winger

            You know it’s funny that everytime someone says something you don’t like they are immediately right wingers.

            I don’t even live in the west to have anything to do with left-right politics. And its fine that many don’t agree with your view points, aren’t the myriad of companies putting LGBTQ flags enough for you?
