I doubt this statement a lot, I think nothing ever will be not censored + moderated at some point. If not by choice then forced by the government. For me this sounds more like marketing since TrustTrustLost lost all credibility now he might uses this for his advantages to promote Brave Search.
Censoring per-see is not bad to hide stuff like CP, nazi stuff etc. The question is how transparent is it and does it censor legitimate stuff or not, I highly doubt a engine without moderation will ever work because people tend to abuse everything to troll, for their propaganda purposes etc. I see this first class in basically every Telegram channel nazi propaganda spread by same people across all channels and if you report it nothing happens.
For me moderation is fundamental, nothing works without it.
I also like to add that Bing itself got busted censoring, Bing is owned by Microsoft and as long as Brave Search crawls results from Bing the entire claim from Eich is baseless because this is how Microsoft / Bing handles things. We can continue the discussion when Brave is out of Beta and do not depend on others anymore and check if they actually hold the claim or not, until then there is not much further to discuss that brings the discussion a step forward.
Censorship or general discussion regarding this is a society and politician thing and therefore do not belong into this community unless it reflect Brave directly.
- Locked because people want to talk off-topic, wrong community to do this. I only gave an example when censorship makes sense but people tend to shit on the actual topic and now trying to argue everything down. Go into politician community, not mine if you want to talk about society + political topics. Thanks. -
I feel sorry for people who actually wanted to discuss the topic/news, but I lock threads before the tend to go out of control. I do not want to put more mental stress on me with political discussions, please respect that. Sorry.
