Even if we analyze this from a business/marketing perspective, this makes no sense. ’s advantage is being “outside” of Silicon Valley, culturally speaking. SV is all in on surveillance capitalism. My understanding is that we’re against that.

I could make more money working elsewhere. I don’t because I believe in ’s stated mission. It’s one of the last places in tech that I can work for that’s got a valued-based mission.
How does this align with our values?

As a non-Mozilla-employee Mozilla contributor, It's rather frustrating that these comments can exist at all.

I'm immensely grateful that we have people like you supporting Mozilla's values, even when the apparatus sometimes makes big mistakes.

Thank you for speaking up about this. I am so sad about the whole thing and I hope we will issue an official apology and promise to do better.

You've also been mentioned in the Gizmodo article. And I'm sure countless others. Your timeline and DM inbox must be in shambles. :hug:

Thanks for speaking up. I didn't even notice until I read your things. Not at all why I had telemetry enabled.
