In this case you are wrong. This article is by Forbes Staff, not a contributor.

Forbes uses one name to deliver two different products, one of which is an in house magazine.

That’s not quite right.

If you buy something for 300m, with 200m in loans, and sell it for 250m, you pay the loan back first, and have 50m in losses. Your taxes go down.

He only pays tax on gains.

Remember the whole case is him inflating property value to get loans. Between the fire sale, and the bad loans, it’s very likely he has little to no equity. He could sell all he has and not have any money to pay the $500m (plus interest.) Which also means little to no tax burden.

He was on trial for taking loans on fake gains.

Look closer. It went from 255g to 200g.

Sure but that sounds like liberty and autonomy, not privacy.

I asked specifically how it infringes on privacy. Seems like the wrong word to use.

I’m not saying it was ethical or good.

I’m asking how it specifically impacts privacy.

Every response I’ve gotten is a non privacy response, which leads me to suspect it’s a stealing from others issue not a privacy issue.

Who?

Track what, and how?

What specifically are you accusing them of? Uploading your browser history to the cloud? What does that have to do with referral links?

You’re just making shit up.

Can someone explain how Brave siphoning some money from Amazon specifically impacts privacy? Does the affiliate get a list of accounts that bought something? Names? Addresses? Or does some money just show up in their account?

What information does Amazon get? That the person clicking is using Brave? They already know that from the user agent.
