They’re the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don’t want my pain privacy taken away. I need my pain privacy!

    I think their blog makes it clear that it isn’t them that’s changing

    Its that legal definitions are changing around them and they need to reflect that in their terms.

      In a non-binding post they said that. In the ToS they say otherwise. “Here, sign this contract, I assure you it doesn’t do what it says” is how literal scams work. Laws aren’t changing anywhere, they are

      No, that’s what they claim, but it’s bullshit. Even the most “broad and evolving” definition of “sale of data” still entails Mozilla having the data at all in the first place, and that’s the bright red line they shouldn’t be crossing!

      If you want to get into the blog, here’s the relevant part:

      In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar.

      See that? That, right there: that’s the entirely fucking unacceptable part!
