Use Brave Origin instead. It's all the blocking and none of the mainstream Brave bloat. Free on Linux and purchasable as a one-off elsewhere.
Or simply debloat Brave...
So let me ask you
Yes
Imagine thinking 4 days leave from your job is some kind if incentive. Most of the rest of the world would consider that a reduction in their legally mandated leave.
Military personnel get 30 days annual leave and can bank up to 60, plus federal holidays. Of course, depending on your unit taking it can be challenging.
So, sign up for two years of military service and get authorized leave for 4 days to play a video game? I guess if that really is the deciding factor to enlist, you probably are just the kind of person the army is looking for.
Nah, it's just an added Bennie that costs nothing; they'll still get any other incentives, which, depending on the specialty, can be thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
Even if it would be truly anonymized, once combined with th other vast amounts od data Google has means it is possible to tie the anonymized data to specific, or a plausible group of people.A bad anonymizing process would be a far more likely culprit, but by analyzing patterns, something AI and computers are good at, could yield interesting results.
It has already been studied and accomplished. Too many studies to name here, but for example, in 1997 a Massachusetts researcher succeeded at converting zip code, birth date, and gender info from voter-registration lists, into links to someone's medical records.
It certainly isn't anything new, it's been used for a long time to develop information; computers have just gotten more powerful so it can be done faster and by people and companies, not just government agencies who could through lots of people at the task. Pattern recognition with computers goes way back, Johns Hopkins University, for example, was doing research on it in the 70's.
You know it's going to happen - someone in charge of replacing/stripping all the names and replacing them with numbers, or whatever, is going to fail at some level. A bunch of PII will go into Gemini, and they won't be able to sue Spirit, because they won't exist, and Google will definitely make sure their contract excuses them from any liability.

the Facewatch system has a 99.98% accuracy rate,
So one in every five thousand people who walk into your stores is going to be falsely accused of a crime? Wow, thanks for making abundantly clear that people should NOT shop there...
More interesting is if 1 in five thousand is also a shoplifter, that means 1 fals positve and one real one, so a 50/50 chance of being wrong when an identificattion is made.
"People who want to be filmed at a dinner party" I guess. It's certainly a fantastical notion
It's called amateur porn...
I mean, this could be used to see things about the non-existent climate change, right? It must be banned! Or maybe put 100% tariffs on every byte of data!
Yes, you must inject one byte for every byte you take; can't let you get away with science. Maybe Congress should make it illegal to take publicly available information and use it for scientific purposes.
Since researchers used publicly available orbital information from Starlink satellites , I wonder how long it will be before Musk wants to get paid for the data.
Every person I've ever met that I respected went through some sort of major crisis or failure in life. I'm sure that's also true of every person reading this comment.
You. I called them dates.
Why couldn't I get a participation trophy education? I actually had to buckle down and work hard... which seriously cut into the time I had available for binge drinking!
Meh. Multitask by drinking in class.
All the simple programs have been written.
