https://brave.com/">"Brave" Is Launching a Privacy-Focused Search Engine to Compete with Google - and avoid what Orwell termed "Newspeak"



Brave, the privacy-focused web browser, is currently preparing to launch its own search engine for desktop and mobile users, according to recent reports. The company's goal is to offer a complete package of browsing and search untouchable by the Masters of the Universe.



TechCrunch reports that Brave, the privacy-focused browser co-founded by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, is preparing to launch its own search engine. Last week Brave announced the acquisition of an open-source search engine developed by the team behind the Cliqz anti-tracking search-browser combo.



[Mozilla, the Firefox owner has been a leader in independent and safer browsing .. so I don't find it surprising that this evolved from it - I like to use Firefox for privacy & do all banking etc with it .. the downside is that many sites will not allow you to browse with privacy settings enacted]

I just downloaded and I'm posting this post using Brave's browser



Soon it's own search engine will be online and will not censure or refuse to offer alternative speech



It includes Firewall + a VPN for purchase (does seem pricy for optional VPN)



It has Firefox / Mozilla fingerprints all over it - I'll keep an eye for it's new search engine - I expect as I have it's browser  in action, they will let me know

NYT Op-Ed Writer Claims

SKUNK PERPETUATED RAPE CULTURE



The Looney Tunes character fell into the crosshairs of NYT columnist Charles M. Blow -- who wrote an op-ed titled "Six Seuss Books Bore a Bias" ... where he argued racism is deeply embedded into American culture (especially pop culture) and fed to kids at a young age.

To that, Blow responded ... "RW blogs are mad bc I said Pepe Le Pew added to rape culture. Let's see. 1. He grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, w/o consent and against her will. 2. She struggles mightily to get away from him, but he won't release her 3. He locks a door to prevent her from escaping." It's true ... Penelope Pussycat was often in Pepe's clutches

Rex Murphy: The cult of the woke and its illiberal dogma

Politics, for some people today, is what fundamentalist religions were in days past: a field of doctrines and dogmas, along with punishments and secular hellfire for those who do not believe

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-the-cult-of-the-woke-and-its-illiberal-dogma?fbclid=IwAR12ZrrrfcvhNW-9096SHpulsrdWTxuji7l0eKxCG45_A2yOsFxZgwunsEc">https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-mu ...

Politics, for some people today, is what fundamentalist religions were in days past: a field of doctrines and dogmas, along with punishments and secular hellfire for those who do not believe. Politics, especially from the high liberal or "woke" perspective, is a call, something close to an actual order, to agree with a set of opinions on certain subjects that are handed down from above.



On these matters, politics is not a call for debate, and certainly not one for compromise. To oppose or dissent on these topics is seen as a moral failure, and summarily leads to accusations that the dissenter is "racist" or a "denier," these being the favourite terms of what passes for a rebuttal.



In the right-thinking, politically saturated cosmos, certain things are not supposed to be right. These can span from the clearly ludicrous — say, Dr. Seuss being taken from library shelves — to an issue with vast implications for all the world — like global warming. Politics, as it is practised today, drives every genuine contest of opinion into the realm of specious notions of morality.



There was a time when people could disagree, even on fundamental matters, and still respect one another; when they could recognize that honourable opponents had an equal sense of certainty as they. People had the generosity of mind to welcome the thought that an opponent — however disagreeable or attuned to a different perspective that person might be — he or she might, by some dim chance, be right. People also accepted that there was a slight possibility that they themselves could be wrong.



What a concept: I could be wrong. Do you think any of the people who are piling on Dr. Seuss have the afterglow of a thought along the lines of: "Hey, maybe we are pushing this stuff a little too far?" Not a chance. Their view is fundamentalist.



That time when people could argue and disagree and still retain respect for the integrity of their opponent is, if not gone, in deep eclipse. Taking a wayward position on any current political dogmas very much aligns with the ancient notion of heresy. Today, the stake and the consuming fire have been transmuted into obliteration by Twitter mobs and cancellation frenzies.



Salem burned the witches. Twitter and Facebook bans seek to nullify and disappear anyone with a second opinion on any issue that is determined by the right-thinking class as settled or correct. (Merely as a side thought, a world ruled by the judgment of Jack Dorsey has less appeal than living in a shoe box.)



These are not times of genuine debate; for open, honest contests of ideas; or for (dear Lord, forgive the adjective) "respectful" intellectual exchange. These are the days of branding the whole of a person by his or her ideas, by his or her allegiance to the dogmas of the moment.



These are the days of progressive judgment on generations past. The generations that constructed the social edifice in which open thoughts and reasonable differences could be ventilated without punitive response. Those that sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.



But to so many today, the generations that came before our own must be shunned; the past builders and leaders of the nation must be judged by the standards of our clearly superior moral and political sensibilities. How arrogant it is to pass judgments on the dead.



The woke of our day are Cromwellian, or if you prefer Leninist, in their furious certitudes; they wish to condemn, and seek to ostracize from historical memory the very people who brought our magnificent liberties to life. Those before us were never perfect. But it would be prudent to be hesitant about proclaiming that they were less than we are; that they were not as good, or as intelligent or, to use the word par excellence of the moment, that they were not as "sensitive."



How many people in this day and age can honestly say that, if they were living in earlier times, they would not act and think as people acted and thought back then? These current obsessions are, to say the least, undignified.



The current purge of the unenlightened — via progressive censorship, internet blocking, dismissal from corporations or universities, ostracism — are unworthy of the inheritance of freedom and democracy the countries of the West have received through the blood, sweat and tears of those who came before us.

BC news outlet quietly deletes article with black academic critical of the Black Lives Matter movement

"My support of BLM began to erode when this conversation morphed into a diatribe," said Sonia Orlu, the author of 'Why I Don't Support Black Lives Matter.'

https://thepostmillennial.com/bc-news-outlet-quietly-deletes-article-with-black-academic-critical-of-the-black-lives-matter-movement?fbclid=IwAR3Qc0uOc_LddGJGbxEdA9t6A4rubbsNhj-p165vimjZx4b4tTMh-Kt-wkQ">https://thepostmillennial.com/bc-news-o ... TMh-Kt-wkQ">https://thepostmillennial.com/bc-news-outlet-quietly-deletes-article-with-black-academic-critical-of-the-black-lives-matter-movement?fbclid=IwAR3Qc0uOc_LddGJGbxEdA9t6A4rubbsNhj-p165vimjZx4b4tTMh-Kt-wkQ



What started as an informal piece last year geared towards family and friends evolved into a formal critique of the Black Lives Matter movement. Ms. Orlu made it clear in an interview with The Post Millennial that: she doesn't see herself as a victim, acknowledges racism exists, but most importantly that systemic racism needs to be proven rather than asserted.



As of Friday night, Sonia Orlu sits at 60 followers on Twitter. She describes herself as a PhD student in Political Science at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. "More recently, she has begun studying issues relating to identity politics, diversity and inclusion, and free speech in the era of social media as the new public square."



The two-parter that is publicly visible now: "News 1130 has deleted a tweet about an article regarding the Black Lives Matter movement. The article, also deleted, did not meet our journalistic standards for balance, and its potential negative impact was not fully considered. (1/2)" and "News 1130 regrets any harm done and is committed to ensuring our journalism meets a higher standard. (2/2)"

An initial deleted tweet was saved by a user. It read: "NEWS 1130 has deleted a tweet about an article regarding the Black Lives Matter movement. In an effort to ensure fair and balanced coverage, we are seeking additional voices for this story."

The difference between the two being: the deleted tweet claimed they were seeking "additional voices" for the story.



Unfortunately no archive exists of the News 1130 piece before it was taken down. When questioned Sonia Orlu said it was a straightforward interview of her paper and didn't believe she said anything too controversial that'd warrant the outlet taking down the article entirely.
