We desperately need the @mozilla that had a clear mission:
* Make the very best reference implementation web browser that respects privacy and freedom of all web users.
* Vigorously and fearlessly champion the #OpenWeb against all forces that threaten it. This entails not having those forces as sponsors.
The rot is deep. I hope it can be cut out and we get a better entity that can maintain #Firefox and stand firm for open, secure, privacy-respecting web technologies.
And there it is: @mozilla loses its Advocacy division, and the #OpenWeb loses what was once a champion.
“We’re revisiting how we pursue that work, not stopping it” says the Mozilla Foundation. Oh yeah, laying off workers is “revisiting” how to do the work, all right.
#MozillaCorp is nakedly a profit-seeking #SurveillanceCapitalism promotional body today.
