    If the allegations are true, Brave has found a remarkably efficient business model: block the publisher’s ads, bypass its paywall, scrape its articles, then sell the results to AI companies. All while marketing itself as the browser that protects people from shady internet practices.

    Sure. Let media outlets owned by the rich fight tech companies owned by other rich people. Doubt it changes anything though.
