@dazo can people stop sharing this screenshot without any context? Pretty please? If you want to inform people of anything, then youre failing at this, because youre not showing actual context
@tragivictoria Did you actually look at the content of the screenshot? It literarily spells out the main context.
It is a removal of the whole promise from the Mozilla FAQ that they will never sell any any personal data.
Further, the URL to this change is in the post as well, where you can get the broader context.
And the following thread post gives even more context.
@dazo @tragivictoria Visit https://www.firefox.com and scroll down.
@dazo @danielquinn This is a year old change and Mozilla already responded: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/.
Could you please update this toot with the date to avoid confusion?
@anthony @dazo @danielquinn they didn't assert any date, the commit itself is dated, the change was not reverted.
#Mozilla has lost their ground and is now in a free fall into a sinkhole. I doubt they'll ever get out if this again unless they do a 180-turn within the coming days. Mozilla has lost a lot of trust and credibility over the last couple of years. This accelerates that distrust even more.

It looks promising, until you hit the last paragraph (my highlight)
In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar. We set all of this out in our privacy notice. Whenever we share data with our partners, we put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share is stripped of potentially identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).
In my book, that's indirectly selling data.
Goodbye, #Firefox.
