No, they didn't miss your point. You missed their point.
You're not criticizing the message, you're criticizing the messenger. Maybe Mozilla shouldn't be the one saying this. But are they wrong about Venmo?
Yes, I'm criticising the messenger. I didn't imply I was criticising the message in any of my posts. I personally don't care because I don't use Venmo. I just thought it was hilarious, if not infuriating, for Mozilla to say anything about user privacy.
What exactly has Mozilla done for my privacy? The effects of Mozilla on my privacy have only been detrimental, given that I use Firefox and they have screwed me over a few times already.
> I personally don't care because I don't use Venmo
By that logic, you shouldn't care about Mozilla because you can just download another browser.
But that's not true. Venmo and Firefox have an impact on the larger world, whether you use them or not. Both should be criticized. But criticizing the messenger does not excuse the behavior of the other.
