Well, that's because it is malware.
It's not right leaning.
It's disinformation malware whose sole purpose is to move the Overton window as far right as possible.
It labels anything short of outright fascism as far left.
I’m against MBFC for many reasons but it isn’t actually malware. It’s a shitty site that wants your info and has dark patterns galore, but it isn’t malware.
It has malicious intent, therefore it's malware. 🤷♂️
That’s not what malware means and you know it. Again, I don’t like MBFC. I don’t support or use then at all. But malware is a specific thing. Let’s stick to the facts as the facts about them are bad enough on their own.
Any software intended to cause harm is malware. MBFC is software intended to cause harm. MBFC is malware.
Ok 👍
