      Open source project focused on giving people features they want but in a privacy and censorship resistant way. Classic Moz

          That seems more aligned with their mission of fighting misinformation on the web. It looks like fake spot was an acquisition so hopefully efforts like the ones mentioned in this post better help aligne this with their other goals.

            That observation is… Very tangential to my comment. I’m not sure if anyone asked Mozilla Corp to start violating people’s privacy, and purchasing data sets, in order to allegedly fight misinformation (while showing ads in the same place, of course)…

              What I’m saying is Mozzilla, from my understanding, didn’t set out to do that but instead aqquired a business that was in order to use their services to fight misinformation. We should pressure them to reform the new part of business to better align with the rest of Mozzilla’s goals.

        Seriously, what’s with all the Mozilla hate on Lemmy? People bitch about almost everything they do. Sometimes it feels like, because it’s non-profit/open-source, people have this idealized vision of a monastery full of impoverished, but zealous, single-minded monks working feverishly and never deviating from a very tiny mission.

        Cards on the table, I remain an AI skeptic, but I also recognize that it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. I vastly prefer to see folks like Mozilla branching out into the space a little than to have them ignore it entirely and cede the space to corporate interests/advertisers.
