Hello! I want to share this here, since these communities have destroyed the privacy scene in almost every large privacy forum on the internet.

#THE FOUR CULT ANTI-PRIVACY ARMIES

##APPLE

Apple cult armies are in denial of Apple devices being privacy nightmares due to being closed source blackboxes. These are good for no more than protecting your data from your nosy girlfriend or the neighbour computer whiz kid.

There is plenty of evidence that goes to prove why Apple devices are nightmares for privacy. This is a comprehensive list of links, images and articles for read:

##Brave

Brave Browser is funded by DoD: https://np.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/fe34ls/exclusive_brave_browser_funded_by_dod_contractor/

Brave traffic detected with Cryptocompare despite BAT rewards disabled: https://removeddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gr8nue/

Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.

NEW EVIDENCE (June 6, 2020): Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)

##Chrome

These people are partly joint with the GrapheneOS cult, primarily due to its lead developer orchestrating all these things in hindsight and his followers purposely sharing his opinion garbage as “facts”.

Most of this was debunked by u/saintjohnny (no longer on reddit) here: https://removeddit.com/r/firefox/comments/gokcis/

Ridiculous things like lead developer accusing r/firefox of being a “deployed” army against him and 4chan being used to harm his image: https://i.postimg.cc/3RwLT8Nj/Screenshot-from-2020-05-26-23-10-20.png

##GrapheneOS

The moderator u trai_dep has taken his time to censor me off completely, so that none of my criticisms can be ever read about his dictatorial moderation and the GrapheneOS discussion I had with its lead developer, who at the end gave me plenty evidence about his rudeness, ironically which was against the rules of the subreddit.

https://removeddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gs4uv7/_/fs2ysdm/

Criticism of GrapheneOS lies on one of his comments about OnePlus and Xiaomi apparently not making good enough devices: https://np.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/gs4uv7/i_dont_fully_trust_grapheneos/fs82fdv/

There is also the issue that he always claims Google Pixel 3/3a is a must with Titan M chip running non verifiable code that one has to rely on for Google’s claim of being same as open sourced code, and that it does not have spyware. And he maintains his stand about developing the ROM exclusively for the Pixel devices, which also house Pixel Visual Core, a proprietary Google-only CPU+GPU unit independent of the Snapdragon SoC and with negligible documentation claimed “only” to be used for HDR+ camera algorithm processing. Google has had a history of lying with things like the Location History toggle, or their known data collection business and known relationship with NSA.

      Brave is cryptominer spying malware that is using privacy as a marketing tool the same way as Big Tech giants do.

      Minimalism is an extreme end, and misses the nuances of the more feature rich bloated computing of today. Therefore it is not a perfect approach by design.

      Living a private life is pretty hard in a sedentary city culture today, which is where and why the other giant privacy communities on reddit and elsewhere failed. They cannot even teach OPSEC, which I do. They cannot teach minimalism, which I do. They do not teach simple living, which I do. Many nuances that I have a grip on, unlike most others.

          You must not recommend Brave over Ungoogled Chromium or Firefox. Brave is simoly malware attached to Chromium. It does not benefit privacy of users just because it seems so.

          Calling Brave better than Google Chrome is like saying Apple is better than Google. Fundamentally false statements.
