I really wish Mozilla would stay out of politics, especially identity politics. And I've seen some pro-censorship advocacy from them in the name of Internet "safety."

I closed my eyes on the ceo story and the politics and continued using it as "the only alternative" to Chrome until I got a pop up on my phone basically suggesting who I should vote for in some American election. I've never even been in that country.

Mozilla's entire purpose is political.

I agree Mozilla should be involved politics to do with software freedom, but it should not be involved in politics to do with our government, etc.

They're anti insurrection? What a novel political idea

They should stay out of politics completely. This incident is a matter for law enforcement to deal with, not Mozilla. Mozilla is a tech firm, it's purpose is to develop a Web browser, period. It should not be involved in social policies.

I personally abhor Donald Trump, by the way. But I still think deplatforming and censorship are wrong.

The internet enables new ways to attack democracy, need to fix those bugs.

Should you publish the manifesto of a terrorist? Should you allow people to create millions of accounts? Who should you amplify with your algorithm?
