And I am perfectly fine with that. Beats being yet another internet slacktivist bitching about how the shit they’re being given for free isn’t good enough.

Because it came up in my feed and I felt like commenting? Do I need a better reason? I’m not protecting anybody, I’m just pointing out basic shit about how the world works lol.

Mozilla is free. And like any other service on the internet, when it’s free you are the product. This is internet 101 shit. If you have a problem with that, uninstall the program and move on with your life. I just used tor as an example because you all seem to be incredibly worried about the privacy you get from a free program lol. If you want maximum privacy without spending any money, that’s what you should be using

Yes…the multimillion dollar…open source…non-profit…company…

By all means, go screaming your discontent to every corner of the internet. Let me know what that accomplishes for you.

You can bitch about shit outside of your control or you can deal with it and move on with your life. Your choice.

Better yet, put your money that you didn’t spend on Mozilla where your mouth is, grab the free source code to Firefox that literally everybody has access to, and make your own web browser that works however you think it ought to.

Of, you could go use Tor if you’re so addicted to that “shit-quality browser that nobody outside of dark web users puts any work into because they’re the only people that make any money off it” vibe

You explicitly gave them permission to do so when you agreed to the EULA at the time you downloaded it. If you have a problem with that, feel free to delete Mozilla and move on with your life. Mozilla doesn’t owe you anything.

Ah right, makes sense. I take it you read the EULA in its entirety before you ever downloaded Mozilla in the first place? Because if you didn’t, you missed the part where you gave them permission to do exactly that.

What’s the point of making it opt in when only the most paranoid users are going to be concerned enough about this to opt out

“We came out with this new feature to help us improve our product, but we’re deliberately kneecapping it on day one by making it opt-in” lol

If you are that paranoid about your data just go use Tor through a vpn already

If you make the rules complicated enough, you can always find a way to justify anything. This is the cornerstone of the modern legal system.

I’m well aware, and stand by my original comment.

Along with basically every Asian and middle eastern country, several European and African countries, and a few South American countries. There are a lot of ethnostates in the world.

In fact, I’d say most countries outside of the EU/the anglosphere are a lot closer to being ethnostates than they are to being any sort of cosmopolitan melting pot.

But most of them have been that way for a long time so people just accept it.

For him to find a young, energetic, independent person to back, there would have to be one for him to find. AOC is probably the closest thing we have and she won’t be old enough to run for president until the next election cycle.
