Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

On a Lemmy I'm always the person who thinks people are overreacting or exaggerating. But this really does seem like the end of firefox as a privacy champion (which, apart from being nonprofit, was my only real reason for using it). I think I will make a donation to ladybird.

Another thing: their acceptable use policy straight up forbids viewing pornography or graphic violence. No nuance or exceptions.

Where can I find this acceptable use policy?

Edit: found it but it was not mentioned in the new TOS. Does this only apply to Mozillas other services like sync and stuff?

I might have violated that, but then again I didn't read the TOS.

Your TOS can't stop me, I can't read!
