The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training - Lemmy.world

From the article: "I know for a fact that Wikipedia operates under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which explicitly states that if you’re going to use the data, you must give attribution. As far as search engines go, they can get away with it because linking back to a Wikipedia article on the same page as the search results is considered attribution. But in the case of Brave, not only are they disregarding the license - they’re also charging money for the data and then giving third parties “rights” to that data."

Is this only referring to the Brave search engine?

But it is designed by their company. Their products represent their leadership.

Firefox and DDG for me.

I honestly just started cracking up after seeing DDG mentioned after those initial 2 sentences.

DuckDuckGo does not care about your privacy. Switch to SearX, StartPage, or Kagi.

Didn’t start page get taken over by an advertising company?

System1. Here’s a discussion about it.

I still fluctuate between using Startpage and public SearXNG instances myself, but I have mixed feelings about Startpage.

Remove Startpage

They also recently sponsored a Techlore video.

What instance of searx are you using? Is ononoki a good instance, please don’t tell me to host my own, because I don’t have the budget for it.
I haven’t tried ononoki, but the one I use is searx.tiekoetter.com
SearXNG @ searx.tiekoetter.com

SearXNG — a privacy-respecting, open metasearch engine

Thanks for the link, I’ll try this one.
