George Lucas has said that it was the Vietnam War that inspired the conflict in Star Wars, with the Empire representing the US, but also the rebels could represent the US against the British Empire from the Revolutionary War.

The point is to influence the election next year, not to make money

Are they going to ban LGBT people from the internet like the US is trying to do?

Google/YouTube doesn't care. If they can put ads on it and make money they will leave it up.

They will run ads for whoever pays them including hate groups like the Heritage Foundation

trustworthy

They are recommended on privacy guides: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/search-engines/#brave-search I generally trust privacy guides, although I don't use Brave Search.

CEO

Their CEO is anti-vax and homophobic. Brave Browser (not search) has had some controversy around including crypto, replacing ads with their own, and having had inserted affiliate links into the URL bar in the past.

censor stuff

Hard to say, the job of a search engine is to show you what you want to find.

data collection

There is telemetry that can be turned off.

I've decided that I want to delete my reddit account. I want to remove all of my posts and comments first. What is the best way to do this? I've had the account for several years so it would be too tedious to delete everything individually. So far I've tried the Redact android app, which did not work when I signed in. I also tried the browser extension Bulk Delete Reddit, but it can only delete up to 50 posts or comments per day. Is there any other option?

Edit: I ended up using Power Delete Suite, as suggested.

iPhone has the better reputation for privacy/security, however it is proprietary software and so no one can really tell for sure what kind of data that Apple might collect on you.

Why are geriatric patients who can't open a pdf trying to make laws about the internet?

AOC is a Progressive, not a revolutionary socialist. The same is true for Bernie. She wasn't going to be able to do anything besides shift the Democratic party slightly to the left.

Of course she is going to endorse Biden for President, there isn't anyone competent running against him on the Democratic side. A third party candidate is unlikely to win and would take votes away from Biden, strengthening Trump.
