When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.
Also Firefox now has a Acceptable use policy https://www.mozilla.org/about/legal/acceptable-use/
According to Brody (starting at 4:16, 5:45-6:15), the new ToS/Acceptable Use Policy combo prevents you from looking at porn now.
I’m not sure if that’s what they’ve intended, but that’s the ramifications of what their changes are implementing.

This “You may not upload, download, transmit, display, or grant access to content that includes graphic depictions of sexuality or violence” looks like pure madness. An online reproductive biology course is going to feature depictions of sexuality; we’re not allowed to bookmark university courses with Pocket now? Many movies explore sex and violence; syncing my Netflix password with Firefox Sync, let alone streaming through “their” VPN technically “grants me access” to that. Hell, even bookstores feature “content that included graphic depictions” of all sorts of sex and violence. What kind of stone-age regression to puritanical fundamentalism is happening inside Mozilla for them to come up with this nonsense!?
Btw, anyone subscribed to Mozilla VPN should know it’s just Mullvad VPN sold at twice the price.
Somehow it doesn’t surprise me at all that they’ve banned porn. Not only that, but it sounds like they’ve banned John Wick movies too.
This is the future. The Internet is no longer open.
