As promised, here is an interview with @[email protected] from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.

We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what’s happening at Mozilla, and what’s changing.

      Quoth the ToU announcement:

      > the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

      Mozilla is not supposed to be doing any of that!

      @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] FWIW, these changes make Firefox not really a viable option anymore in the current political environment, independent of whether the changes “had to happen.”

      Such a big change should merit reconsideration of the contract with google rather than the drastic widening of TOS on behalf of all users (esp considering one of the first things I do is disable google as the default search engine).
