General rule of thumb: Every time an organization updates their terms of service and/or privacy policy, it is never because they have your best interests at heart.

Specific thoughts on this latest Mozilla action (blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f)

Setting aside the "worldwide license" bullshit, the privacy policy appears to have broadened both the classes of data Mozilla aims to collect, and the situations in which they collect them.

These are not the actions of an org that cares about your privacy.

> You give Mozilla all rights necessary to operate Firefox, including processing data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice, as well as acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet. When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

This is far from the start of this journey, Mozilla have been working towards this point for many years.

A creeping corruption that I think has finally taken hold.

They themselves, say it best:

"Although we’ve historically relied on our open source license for Firefox and public commitments to you, we are building in a much different technology landscape today"

> Mozilla can suspend or end anyone’s access to Firefox at any time for any reason, including if Mozilla decides not to offer Firefox anymore. If we decide to suspend or end your access, we will try to notify you at the email address associated with your account or the next time you attempt to access your account.

@jomo It also says that:

> Your use of Firefox must follow Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy, and you agree that you will not use Firefox to infringe anyone’s rights or violate any applicable laws or regulations.

The AUP is here: mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/

Apparently we must not:

> Upload, download, transmit, display, or grant access to content that includes graphic depictions of sexuality or violence

So... Mozilla now prohibits using Firefox to view porn?

I guess he was always a piece of shit.
@pi55d @mangeurdenuage ASK FEDI: Who would you trust more?

@JustDisa @redneonglow@gameliberty.club yea! i figured. i'm slowly finding the more active people i followed. it'll take awhile but it's ok ​:blobcatreading:

@redneonglow@gameliberty.club @JustDisa@shota.house ah crap, yea sorry. it happened fast, i couldnt even get back in to export follows ​:pepe_needhug:

@RehnyNytes256 @redneonglow@gameliberty.club We wanted to make exporting followers possible, but unfortunately the akkoma site just would not stay stable in order for us to do this.

@redneonglow@gameliberty.club @RehnyNytes256@shota.house Yeah, sorry. Our issues with Akkoma finally reached a point where we couldn't deal with it anymore. So, I made the decision to do something I should have done long ago and change the software. Unfortunately to keep federation working properly this meant getting everyone to have a new username. Unless I wanted to change the domain (which I desperately wanted to avoid.)
