The source for the story clearly has a specific political bias regarding its interpretation of privacy.

That political bias doesn't impinge on the facts of the report though (merely that Brave believes it's worth surfacing loudly).



So the right to privacy is a political agenda item now? I don't get what you are saying, can you please clarify?


Yes, anything related to the life on society and how we regulate it or not is "politics" and a particular political subject is pushed by any individual or group is a "political agenda item". If we act like politics is a dirty word, only the worst of us will involve in politics.


Whether pseudonymized background data collection constitutes a violation of right to privacy is a hot-button political topic. The GDPR has put a stake in the ground on this but is not the final say on the matter.
