I'm supposed to trust BRAVE with privacy? Did I receive a massive head injury and not realize it?

Paying users in crypto to view ads.
Uninstalled Brave and went to Firefox after that “AI training” article came out…:didn’t know about the anti-LGBT donations. Fuck Brave with a baseball bat. That would have been by reason too if I didn’t see the AI one
Glad to be away from the Chromium conglomerate too
Every AI company uses copyrighted material to train their AI and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they obtain it legally.
Obtaining it legally is one thing. Using it according to the license is at least just as important. Specifically if they trained it on content under GNU GPL or Creative Commons SA licenses, I'd like the result published under these licenses too.
If you think something being legal automatically makes it not-wrong, I don't trust you on... well, much of anything, but especially privacy
