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.

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.

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.
So you should stop doing that if you believe they aren't related.
sure, especially if they owned said outlet
