ITT: We laugh at the Brave browser's PR suicide

You realize the project is still so far from mainstream that twitter outrage will actually be a positive thing, right? It's still in the no press is bad press stage

This will come back to bite them eventually.

>a pre-release project getting sued for impersonation is a good thing
you're not a BAT bagholder by chance?

Brendan Eich turned to the dark side after he got BTFO by SJW's and trannies

No, stories don't come back to bite you. Outrage = transgressions - time
Never held BAT and your pic is more than likely to provide a net positive backlash from polfags than it is to hurt anything. You don't know the first thing about PR

>You don't know the first thing about PR
Doing unsolicited fundraising for literally every single youtuber will draw in who exactly? This is completely unpolitical as they just hit the whole market with that crap

It's all free advertising. Better for someone to be temporarily outraged with your product than to never have heard about it at all

>american company starts fundraising for thousands of people without any of their consent
>uses their name and image without permission
oh I don't see a way for this to cause damage :°)

It's not legal in most countries, the problem is prosecuting in whatever country the owner is living in.

>california

Nothing Brendan Eich does will ever be successful

He’s on Silicon Valley’s shit list for being against gay marriage and they’ll always undermine him every chance they get

If I were him I’d just give up

PR suicide? This seems likes criminal fraud.

what are you purporting to be illegal exactly ? unilaterally collecting funds saying you will give it something/someone else ? that's not illegal.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud
Are you stupid or something?

hooking your donation plugin into other people's websites and making it seem like they are the ones asking is, I guess

Why do you think in a lot of media, an 'All Persons Fictitious' disclaimer? Because the use of likenesses open a ton of doors for litigation in any businesses if handled poorly.

>Against Malaria
>helping niggers survive in Africa.

you realize that lowering mortality is the primary driving factor of reduced birthrates, right?

outrage is fine and dandy, expensive lawsuits are not

>that pic
Oy vey! Don’t you goyim know it’s illegal not to support anal marriage? Shut it down!

>t. A mosquito

The owner of the imposter website.

there is no impostor website. it's the browser doing this

what imposter website, that's the dude's actual (tls secured) webpage getting mitm'd by Brave to add their crypto scam

you're a moron, you really really are

the problem is if you keep pumping money into their society and they never reach a mature industrialization stage, you just get perpetually overpopulated countries like in India that never seem to get out of the malthusian stage, except for the surplus of people who manage to emigrate to first world countries (again, just like India).

Go use the Brave payment system right now. Explain to me at what point you have been defrauded.

I'll take "What is Libel?" for 500, Alex.

at least i can read. Tom scott is also a fucking liar as he definitely used to have an Amazon affiliate link and might still have.

Hello I Dave from VSauce here! Please donate to my totally legit crypto account!! :^)

Blimey

you just can't shout libel. That's not how it works. What is your claim ? I realize they probably didn't go over this in the courses for your bird law degree.

>at least i can read
at least i know what fraud is, idiot
>as he definitely used to have an Amazon affiliate link and might still have.
who actually gives a fuck? you're sperging over an amazon referral link now because you didn't know what fraud is, just fuck off

>This is good for bitcoin

it unconditionally promises that the content creator will get their funds. but that doesn't happen if the creator doesn't make an account with them. brave is not mentioning in their marketing that they get to keep all your donations that the content creator doesn't claim.
of course other services like paypal steal money from their accounts too without warning, but only left wing jewish entrepreneurs get away with using legal technicalities to protect themselves from their kikery. this guy who went against the liberal machine will get hit with the full force of the law

>of course other services like paypal steal money from their accounts too without warning
link one (1) case of this happening to a legitimate customer

Contract law does not override actual law.
I can sign a contract saying it's okay for you to murder me, but that still won't make it legal for you to actually do it.

>break tos
>wtf why did they close my account
try again

So damage control here seems to be ignore what they actually did and talk about trends of internet outrage. Which is the same as pretending peoples assertions aren't true but without saying it directly. Pretty appropriate for brave.

How are publishers/websites notified of my contributions?

Every 30 days your contribution is transferred from your Brave BAT wallet to a BAT escrow wallet, managed privately and securely by Brave for distribution to the publishers you’ve chosen. When the contributions from all Brave contributors for any of these publishers are equal to about $100.00 USD in BAT, emails are sent to the webmaster of the site and the site’s registered domain owner, prompting them to begin the process of becoming a verified Brave publisher to receive contributions. Upon completion of the verification process, the publisher will be able to receive contributions from everyone using the Brave Rewards system.

Where does my contribution go if a publisher/website is not part of this program yet?

When there is about $100.00 USD in BAT for a specific publisher, from all contributors, Brave makes three attempts to complete the publisher verification process. We will hold unclaimed funds for a minimum of 90 days, after which it will be added to the UGP (User Growth Pool).

Note that on the Payments Preferences page under the “Advanced Settings” gear icon, you can disable the “Allow contributions to non-verified sites” option. This ensures that your contributions are made only to sites for publishers that have verified.

Africa is a zoo that rich westerners fund.

>not reading or understanding the context of the issue
try again

or alternatively just go away since you're clearly pushing the sillicon valey of agenda of ToS violations being law
they stole the guys money, that's fundamentally illegal

> Be paypal
> Make ToS so broad a squeeky fart breaks it
> Use to take small businesses money
> Retards like (You) defend it

holy shit how is this guy so fucking good at digging his own grave

>be retarded
>sign up to service whose TOS EXPLICITLY forbids me using the service
>be upset about them closing my account
also "be over 18" is not "broad"

I wish we had something better than PayPal. Honestly sick of their shit.

He made JavaScript.

you still didn't read the article

> Be small business owner
> Lack money to form own payment structure
> Use PayPal because it just werks
> Get screwed out of money
> Fat n33ts like this faggot refuse to sympathize with you

He can rot in hell then

Is your edge being replaced by chromium too?

I don't have to read an article that only consists of stories about people using a service whose tos consists of "we can fuck your ass whenever we want" and then being surprised that they got sodomized

okay, i'll point out the bits you're refusing to read.

from the article:
>As a teenager, my mother may have wanted me outside on the field with everyone else, but I was sat in my bedroom in 2006/7, learning HTML/CSS and these fancy new technologies called AJAX and jQuery. Eventually some of these skills became useful and I found myself at the age of 17 realising that there was money to be made online, and this was where my life was heading.

The key here being, he was 17 in 2007 or so.
Do I need to help you understand how old he would be in 2017? The date of the article?

Ok retard
It's a single story.
The guy was 28 when he got suspended from PayPal.
What's your argument now?

if he was 17 when he made the account he broke their tos when he made the account, simple as that.
just like porn of a 17 year old stays cp even a decade later.

>BAT is a cryptocurrency
>Brave has given away BAT to users of their browser
>Brave allows you to give your BAT to websites you visit
>Get free BAT to dump on the people who bought in during the ICO
the guy is literally complaining about free money, basically.

The only time this would fuck people over is if someone went out and bought BAT (which you need BTC to buy), and then donated to a person who was unaware they can access this BAT to then sell back to BTC, then to their local fiat currency.

How else do you describe an artificially stabilized environment with a population that couldn't survive on its own?

he was 17 when he broke their tos, which got his account suspended.

how much?

Are you like, sexually attracted to the taste of leather? That's the only explanation I can muster for why you inhale boot like you do

>comparing opening a paypal account at 17 to child pornography
no, it's not "just like" anything.

why do you endorse that these companies do these sort of things? are you paid by them or something?

why should paypal give a fuck about the fact he opened an account a few months early or whatever, and flip their shit, stealing their money, 10 years late?

>I can't separate art from artist
As long as the artist doesn't jam his art full of his own shitty opinions, you're a child if you boycott someone for having opinions different than your own

At current price I've heard of users getting about 50 BAT from using Brave over a period of time, which is worth like $8. It's not too shabby.

I'm afraid I don't understand what is going on here.

>and then donated to a person who was unaware they can access this BAT
oh you mean like literally every youtuber in the world? If that's our biggest concern xddd

no, I just don't have empathy with people who willingly get fucked over.
paypal's tos are fucking garbage and they're a shit company, which is why I don't use them.
if you do, even though you're aware of how garbage they are, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

What part of "not everyone has an option", do you not understand?

>the company isn't wrong, the poeple are wrong!

fuck em

name one example of someone not having a payment method that's not paypal available
how did you even read that from my post literally calling them a shit company?

again, no regular bank or small payment processor would get away with systematically stealing customer's money just for breaking the ToS. they get away with it because they're well connected jews who also spend a lot of money lobbying politicians.

>the company is always right
>nothing the company does can be wrong
>the company is free to do anything, anyone who uses them are stupid
you're part of the problem.

>how did you even read that from my post literally calling them a shit company?
t. paid operative trying to play it safe

This is the worst deals in the history of deals. Maybe ever.

>no regular bank or small payment processor would get away with systematically stealing customer's money just for breaking the ToS.
and paypal doesn't either, you can get your money out of your account exactly one year after your suspension.

What ? There are always to transfer money. They just have higher fees than Paypal.

Name an alternative to paypal that's as easily accessible to small business owners

>exactly one year after your suspension.
that's still illegal
it could literally be 100 years and you'd still find it fine

stripe
>that's still illegal
doesn't seem like it, otherwise they'd have gotten sued over it :~)

i believe javascript is successfully running in the browser (and everyone's browser on earth) right now.

>single person sueing $BIG_CORP
stop justifying them

are you gay

You mean the equally autistic and politically biased company that's basically paypal spelled differently?

now that's a very strong matter of definition

const [a, b] = [1, 2]

const [c, d] = [3, 4]

[a, b] = [b, a]

console.log(a, b, c, d)

Paypal was my only option when cashing out from rev.com to my country.

lol like you could ever make anything even remotely as useful as javascript. faggot.

yeah, also try not being a nazi on the internet
try living in a country that's not a shithole
