This is the second such email I have received recently. Seems legit but I don't recognize the domain in the link to sign, and it seems like the people who make Firefox would know that the people who use Firefox would be hesitant to click. IDGI. Anyone else getting these?
Edit 2024-04-10: Got a new email today and it appears all the links now go to links dot mozilla dot org. I won't flatter myself that this post had anything to do with that, but maybe the same thought occurred to someone at Mozilla. Nice. ✌️
Why is a communication platform responsible for the content on it?
Mozilla is part political advocacy group. This is part of the Mozilla Manifesto Pledge for a Healthy Internet:
BTW, if you donate to Mozilla, your money goes to this.
Not Firefox development.
This.
Ironic because Mozilla subsidiaries break several of their principles now. Thanks to FakeSpot alone:
100%
They're advocating for moderation of the internet, Shadow banning of wrong think, it's antithetical to a free and open communication system.
They want to create a platform where essential authority decides what's true, and what's acceptable, and everything else just silently disappears into the void. Sure at the beginning, the " right people" Will run the system. But give it 5 to 15 years and the wrong people will kill public discourse on any critical conversation
They aren't. You misunderstand the point. Private interests are using media to skew the behavior of the people ingesting that media. Another business is asking a third party to act on behalf of the affected demographic because of the infectious and addictive nature of the media. It is hard to compel people to quit something that makes them want more of it. So this is a call to action to stop being abusive towards people.
