“Keeping the internet, and the content that makes it a vital and vibrant part of our global society, free and accessible has been a core focus for Mozilla from our founding. How do we ensure creators get paid for their work? How do we prevent huge segments of the world from being priced out of access through paywalls? How do we ensure that privacy is not a privilege of the few but a fundamental right available to everyone? These are significant and enduring questions that have no single answer. But, for right now on the internet of today, a big part of the answer is online advertising.“ Advertisers always want more data on the people they are selling to. I hope you can hold the line. No one else has been able to that I know of.

And I love how they keep pushing the "ensure creators get paid for their work" as if they're doing the lord's work paying small-time YouTubers and PodCasters when, in reality, it's corporations getting the money. Who are these "creators" you're talking about, Mozilla?

Millions of creators are making a living through their content.
