Brave must curate search results to supress regressive leftist propaganda that floods the top of the other search engines brave search scrapes, they must also start crawling the web themselves

@AbleistSL

it’s getting said results from other search engines.

That was only during fallback. Brave has been building and doing its own search results. You can check how independent your result is by clicking the gear icon on the top right of the page. Doing so will show how much is in Brave’s search algorithm vs others.

You’ll see in my most recent search:

This means over 90% of results are from Brave.

@AbleistSL

Brave is going to have to curate this scraped garbage

But I’ll quote the more important part:

No, Brave Search does not filter, downrank, or censor search results. Nor will we change our search algorithm to increase or decrease the prominence of results in response to current events or anyone’s political, religious, ethical, or other beliefs. Brave Search—like Brave itself—is intended to be a user-first portal to the web, free of Big Tech’s manipulation.

However, there is one exception to this rule: We do need to comply with laws governing search engines, including CSAM, copyright takedown (DMCA), right to be forgotten (GDPR), and nation-state orders.

You’re kind of asking Brave to censor results because you’re not happy with what you see. That said, I’ll also refer you back to a post by person who works on Brave Search who responded to people on similar issues before:

Results seem politically skewed

This thread was brought to my attention, and I think it’s worth answering. My name is Josep M. Pujol, I’m responsible for Brave Search. Prior to joining Brave, I spent 6 years building the eventual foundation of Brave Search at Cliqz. Brave Search does not censor. The fact that some expected results aren’t returned is not the result of censorship; it’s the result of search-engine-development being hard, and forever a work in progress. There is some confusion between censorship and bias. Brave …

and the comment made right above that one:

Results seem politically skewed

Brave doesn’t censor, and Brave doesn’t inject bias into Search results. We go far beyond paying lip-service to this commitment too; we’re developing Goggles to prevent this issue. What’s Happening? The query Peter Santilli returns one set of results, while the query Pete Santilli (note the spelling of the first name) returns another. Mr. Santilli’s podcast uses the “Pete” variant, along with numerous other sites. As such, “Peter” may be expected to yield less-relevant results (without the eng…

@AbleistSL

invest in web crawlers so that the search engine can get more unbiased results.

So yeah, you can see from the above official responses, they are working on it. If you want to participate, they explain how you can help. However, be careful on your own bias and opinions. We’ve had people here who claimed negative searches but they were very neutral. Their complaint wasn’t because of neutrality but were mad because results didn’t align with their agenda.

Goggles does exist and you can sort results as you wish for yourself. So if you want something sorted out or included based on political views or anything of the sort, I’d recommend you try checking out Goggles.
