Brave search allows misinformation goggles for anyone that believes 2 + 2 = 5.
Of course Brave would so something like this. This isn't surprising whatsoever. It's still horrible they're even choosing to enable this whatsoever.
Edit: I just checked what kind of shit they pull up on Transgender issues when using those goggles. It's as bad as I thought it would be. Fuck Brave for enabling this garbage.
Yep it's literally half of the results. I'm astounded that this is legal. Well not that astounded.
I mean Daily Mail should set off an alarm for any sentient being.
Am I misunderstanding something? That's what I would expect to see from any search engine when you search for "vaccines" and "news from the right".
Yes, the feature is working exactly as intended, and therein lies the problem.
So people would rather Brave doctored their search results than showed them what they searched for? I genuinely don't know what else right-wing news outlets would write about vaccines 🤣
That's crazy. Fuck them
