Was just coming to ask for this. I like the articles, even if we're not Playboy.

The problem with this is the part where they say what they do is within the law. It very well may be as a platform but the issue is with the content it allows and its legality. In the U.S they are probably right but free speech either technically does not exist in most other countries or tolerated until someone decided to prosecute it.

Sure, Google and Apple allow apps in Saudi Arabia that help men make sure their wives aren't trying to leave the country or go places without their permission. That's in their rights as multinational companies to respect laws and customs of other countries. That seems different though than American companies barring other American companies from doing business at least in America. If they were banned for violating other country laws, then they could just region lock their apps/extensions

The problem is you have a small few people controlling much of the wealth and that buys most of the influence, whether it be political or public perception. Most sane people know it's wrong to stop others speech or try to manipulate the hive mind of humanity but tell that to the Queen Ant and her 10000 soldiers and workers. Humans have long since ceased to be a tribal society. Is it any surprise that some want to be in charge and control it by any and all means? The only thing stopping them is that the fear of the guillotine is still too recent.

I still wish they'd work with Brave, but maybe this has some real promise. That app store does sound interesting.

It functions with brave just fine, except you have to run it in developer mode which prompts you to disable it every time you fully exit and restart your browser, which is annoying. It would be nice having direct support on brave though
