TL;DR: They became partners with Brave, when people pointed out Brave’s objectionable politics they responded… poorly (still read the thread, it has much more info)
Quick edit: Was pointed at this, looks like it’s even worse and the Kagi owner himself might be very objectionable too

Here’s a Masto thread explaining a bit the polemic

Second edit: And it keeps getting worse, of course they had to get into AI…
