Posted to 'privacy' community: "Put your first and last name on this petition!"

I expect if there are too many fake names it would be used against them too. I think not signing at all is overall less detrimental my own privacy. However if there's evidence/reasoning otherwise please share!

Edit: I ended up signing with my real name, I don't see employers or anyone holding that petition against me if they find out I signed this by searching my name.

Unfortunately, this is gonna happen and worse. We lost the fight for the internet in 2006, and we're watching it die. No joke, I started using yandex browser and search since Google ruined theirs, and it is close to perfect. Waterfox is my backup.

Brave encourages crypto. Yandex and Baidu are much better than sites like Google for searching

So? I do not use the crypto features in Brave browser or thr BAT rewards. You can easily opt out.

Don’t want to support anything that uses that
