  • What you’re referring to is a recent trend of social media platforms enforcing a wordlist ban, causing people to resort to using “newspeak”, coined from the book 1984.

    Newspeak was a language where negative words were not allowed. You can literally see it on platforms like TikTok, where people say “unalive” instead of “kill”, “seggs” instead of “sex”, or “oui’d” instead of “weed”.

    You make the claims, you serve the proof. You can’t point at a vague, general direction and go “here, proof!”. Especially not a social media feed, that’s the most subjective, volatile “proof” you could provide.

    Quote me the text, in its full context, where it says that Mozilla is selling the data they are “now collecting”, or that it was optional for them without degrading services. Because I can’t find it.

    All I see is data that Mozilla is required to collect to provide existing services, they are now putting it in black on white. I don’t really care what the “general opinion” is, opinions do not automatically become facts once sufficient people hold them.

    I’ve seen Mozilla do bad stuff, this is just a very standard privacy policy update. Let’s criticize them when they actually deserve it, and encourage them the rest of the time.

    Also, nice strawman instead of simply answering my question. 🥰
