I genuinely feel for the #Firefox #mozilla legal team. #LawFedi
Folks, remember, lawyers are independent advisors (or should be). We don't make decisions - those are for management.
My guess is that lots of solid legal advice has been ignored regarding the #termsofuse update.
Oh no, #Mozilla got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so they scribble new terms of use to appease the angry mob. 
Apparently, rewriting legalese is their latest "innovative" feature!

Now it simply reads:

Again, a pledge to not sell people's data has disappeared. #Varma insisted this is the result of the fluid definition of “sell” in the context of data sharing and privacy.
“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.”

Due to a recent update of Mozilla FireFox (MFF/FF) terms of service (addition) and an updated privacy policy of their web browser: You will no longer use it, instead find a downstream of FF or simply a google chromium downstream such as Ungoogled Chromium or LibreWolf/Tor Browser, and leave FF behind for good this time.
> People are really jumping to the worst possible interpretation of this.
> I think there's some "abused dog syndrome" happening here: in recent years we have become so used to product offerings and privacy guarantees becoming steadily worse that we flinch whenever we think it might be happening again, even when what we're actually reacting to has no ill-intent.
> The most likely explanation (and the one that Mozilla implies in their update) is that some lawyer has got twitchy about the fact that Mozilla don't ask for permission, when using user data, to do the thing that the user wants to do with it, i.e. send a web request.

Youssuff Quips · Mozilla’s New Terms of Use are out of step with Firefox’s Direct CompetitionOn Wednesday, Mozilla introduced legal updates to users of Firefox, and something feels off. I read, and re-read the new Terms of Use and while much of it reads like standard boilerplate from any tech company, there’s a new section that is unexpected:
# sbofind librewolf
SBo: librewolf 135.0
Path: /usr/sbo/repo/network/librewolf
# sboinstall librewolf
Anything you say or do in Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one will not be provided for you because capitalism is working exactly as designed.

Mozilla's blog outlines the updated Terms of Use for Firefox. These terms govern user interactions with the browser, emphasizing privacy, security, and user rights. Key changes include clearer guidelines on data usage and user responsibilities. The update aims to enhance transparency and ensure a better user experience. #Firefox #TermsOfUse #Privacy #UserRights
Mozilla over here adding Terms of Use to Firefox, which I don't think will go over very well.
Why are people still using and supporting Mozilla in any way at this point?
