Mozilla is like Barack Obama for certain people, it's a symbol of everything they politically hate.

Teaming up with Disney is like Wearing a Tan suit or a bicycle helmet, it's only the worst thing ever when your politcal enemy is doing it and you have nothing better to complain about.

Disney is one of the worlds worst companies. Mozilla teaming up with them is bad because Disney is bad. It's straight forward.

Disliking the choices Mozilla has been making doesn't mean you instantly love Google/Chrome. We're fighting for a better web, not a less worse web.

[dralley]

Google literally works (or worked) on robots and AI for the military and participated in mass surveillance.

But Mozilla has a marketing deal with a Pixar movie with a Red Panda, and everyone loses their minds. Typical HN.

[fartcannon]

Yes, Google and Disney are bad companies.

Disney is one of the worst companies in the world? The rest of the world certainly doesn't think so. The rest of the world thinks of Disney as a company that pursues family content like Star Wars. Then we have mercenaries, weapons manufacturers, energy titans, big tobacco, or mega conglomerates like Nestle.

The context matters - when it comes to technology, the web and the Internet, Disney is pretty hostile as a media company that has an interest in restricting user's freedom when consuming media - going totally opposite of what Mozilla stands for (or rather, pretends to).

Nestle or oil companies have their own problems but at least those are completely unrelated to Mozilla's purported mission.

[fartcannon]

Yes, Nestle is a bad company. Disney is a bad company.

Do you guys all work for the same bot farm or something? Just because another company is bad, doesn't mean Disney isn't also bad.

[threatofrain]

If a news report placed Disney in the same conversation as the worst or most morally offensive companies, it would also be appropriate to accuse that outlet of engaging in intellectual shrieking.

[fartcannon]

So you should stop doing that if you believe they aren't related.

[adamrezich]

sure, especially if they owned said outlet

[akmittal]

Really the worst company? Worse than Facebook or all this crypto companies.

I don't think Pixar/Disney have done any damages to web/tech. Only that should matter to mozilla

[fartcannon]

Yes Disney and Facebook are bad companies. Mozilla should strive to be better than Disney and Facebook.
