They made some mistakes and took responsibility. Consider that Brave is taking on Google with the GDPR. That's pretty cool.

They absolutely did not take responsibility properly. They dragged their feet, they argued and argued that they were doing nothing wrong, and them finally reluctantly changed things when they could find no other way to weasel out of it.

This is not only a lie, it's a particularly egregious one. And very easy to verify.

It took them all of one whole business hour to respond. One hour. That's absolutely unheard of.

The above just goes to show how eager some people are to spread FUD in a blatantly dishonest and malicious way about certain things they oppose. It blows my mind.

And by June 9th, less than 3 whole days later, user's had an updated build of Brave with the issue resolved: https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/.
