Incredible.
Mozilla does something good for privacy and the comment section goes crazy about it saying Mozilla is evil.
Mozilla found out that the CEO of a company they're in a partnership with ran a company that isn't great from a privacy perspective, so Mozilla promptly cut ties. That's it. That's the story.
Is it so hard to understand that people feel burned by a paid-for service that promised better privacy actually selling out your info because Mozilla didn’t do the bare basic due diligence?
I don’t see any allegations that the company they partnered with was selling out your info. Just that the CEO of that company was involved in other companies that weren’t privacy friendly.
They weren't selling data. You're either misunderstanding or making shit up.
