Mozilla has been on the wrong path for a while now. That CEO needs to be fired. Vote her put.
“Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’), and we don’t buy data about you,” he said. “We changed our language because some jurisdictions define ‘sell’ more broadly than most people would usually understand that word.”
Jackass
If mozilla passed our anonymized data to a third party to enable a feature, that explains the change in vernacular. Many people consider this ‘selling’ because as with data brokers, there doesn’t have to be a direct monetary transaction for mutual benefits to be traded. This was a good move, with a trigger happy crowd trying to take down our best support against data broker monopolies. We should be asking Mozilla to improve our ability to personally remove participation in this collection, not slamming them for clarifying their stance.
Actually they should have been adding this feature as optional where we have to Opt-In. Not activated by default and then we ask to Opt-Out.
That .is. an improvement. That does not change my position. Share is synonymous to sell when you consider the spread of data. Mozilla was not fully clarifying this is the reason for change in vernacular, and many people felt ‘fooled’ into thinking ‘we dont sell your data’ means ‘we dont share your data’
“reneging”? “reneging”??
Oh. I thought that was short for renegotiating, and I don’t remember negotiating no shit.
