@attacless@enteio@grok Paragon compromises the phone you dumb fuck. Of course any apps you have on device would be too. Your pInG would have also been compromised.
Fucking retard.
❗🇮🇱 Israeli spyware company Paragon posted their surveillance software's control panel by mistake.
This is a major opsec flaw.
Paragon's spyware has been used to target journalists, government critics, and human rights defenders.
Holy moly, read this entire thread before using AI browsers. Scary stuff.
Fantastic research from the @brave team.
TLDR The AI tools you use matters a HUGE deal when it comes to your privacy and security, choose carefully.
I know it’s been said again and again, but what does it say about ChatControl that its backers keep explicitly *exempting* law enforcement and national security accounts from content scanning?
HOLY SHIT @brave just dropped some INSANE numbers and nobody's talking about this!!
97.8 MILLION monthly users achieved! That's not a typo. We're talking about nearly 100M people actively using Brave every month.
When everyone's chasing ghost users and bot followers, Brave has REAL humans behind those numbers
But wait, it gets CRAZIER...
Brave Search Ads just posted 1500% growth in click volume!!
Yeah, you read that right - FIFTEEN HUNDRED PERCENT! From January to December 2024, search advertising clicks grew 15x while organic searches jumped 80% to 1.3 billion queries
The numbers that are blowing my mind:
2.2 million ad clicks per month
Over HALF of the world's top 20 largest search advertisers now using Brave Search Ads
Amazon Ads, Booking com, Stubhub, Wayfair all advertising on Brave
9 out of 10 new advertisers in 2024 kept running consecutive campaigns
While everyone's obsessing over memecoins and asking "wen moon," brave quietly built the infrastructure that's actually WORKING.
Nearly 2M verified creators , 1.5B tokens 99% in circulation , and now enterprise-level advertiser adoption
The part that's got me most bullish?
Big brands are choosing Brave over Google for search ads. Not because it's cheaper, but because it's MORE EFFECTIVE.
Privacy-first targeting using semantic embeddings instead of creepy behavioral tracking. Advertisers getting better ROAS while users keep their privacy intact.
And here's the kicker - Brave's AI Summarizer now appears in 30-40% of all searches , basically competing directly with Google's AI Overviews. With their own privacy-focused Leo chatbot integrated throughout the ecosystem
Ever wonder why $BAT is not just another altcoin? Check this out:
99% of 1.5 B BAT are already in circulation, that’s not some pump-and-dump supply trick; these tokens are out there powering real user rewards and creator payouts
236 M USD market cap with under 1B fully diluted, tiny cap for a token driving tens of millions of monthly active users. Institutional desks are noticing, and that’s no coincidence
On-chain staking rewards live on Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, you can earn yield by locking BAT across chains, not just hodl in a browser wallet.
Nearly 2 M verified creators earning BAT every month, from indie devs to major publishers, creators choose BAT over adsense for fair pay and instant payouts.
1500% growth in Brave Search ad click volume, more ad demand means more BAT spent, more burned, and more value flowing back to token holders.

“Don’t worry, that surveillance bill is so extreme it’ll never pass. They'd never get away with it.”
“They’ll never get away with it” is exactly how every totalitarian policy in history got through.
Complacency is not a defense.
"We need to break with the completely erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate via encrypted messaging services" - @PHummelgaard, 🇩🇰 Minister of Justice
Remember: Under chat control, EU politicians would be exempt from being spied on, unlike you.
Danish Minister of Justice and chief architect of the current Chat Control proposal, Peter Hummelgaard:
"We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services."
🇪🇺EU Commission on #ChatControl: "We just scan like a spam filter; your messages are still encrypted." It's a Trojan horse! 🐴 That's like someone reading your letter before it's placed in your mailbox!

This dude built a web extension that can do everything the Online Safety Act tries to do in terms of age verification, without censoring a single person or website or threatening anyone.
The only dependency is that it requires a parent to voluntarily install it.
