Mozilla rewrites Firefox's Terms of Use after user backlash | TechCrunch

Critics said the new terms implied Mozilla was asking users for the rights to whatever data they input or upload through Firefox.

It was pretty damn horrible communication but I never believed Mozilla would go into full on data brokering business.
- That wasn't the point. The point was that the terms as written would allow them to.
  
  No it wouldn’t. For fucks sake, are you a lawyer? Can you read legal definitions?
- I literally can't think of a single person at Mozilla who would benefit from that situation more than from the status quo.

The new language seems equivalent to the old language.

I'm already on a de-mozilla'd fork (Waterfox). It took eleven minutes. One minute to install Waterfox and ten minutes to copy the profile folder from Firefox so that everything I had set up in Firefox (a browser I've been using for twenty years) transferred right over.

California doing California things.
First, most items I buy suddenly cause cancer. Now, Mozilla is suddenly Google.
- Anti science bullshit maybe not the most welcome on this platform.
  
  Sarcasm.
