    They should explain what happens in technical terms because it’s more confusing every day.

    Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data”)

    It looks like the pride and accomplissement of Electronic Arts. They will fuck us but don’t have the guts to say it out loud.

    better address legal minutia around terms like “sells.”

    When you’re masturbating over the meaning of a simple word, you should stop everything and focus on better endeavors.

      Except Mozilla isn’t “masturbating” over the meaning of simple words, legislators are. Yes this opens the door for more privacy dickery, but it also allows Mozilla to satisfy a broad array of legal definitions. There are so many things to get wound up about, why bring out the pitchforks for something that hasn’t happened?

      Fully agree they should use clear technical and legal terms, and the reasoning behind the changes they’re making

        The CA definition of “selling data” is exactly how any reasonable person would define it:

        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 trying to weasel around saying it, but no matter how many blogposts they write, they’re selling your data, and the CCPA finally makes them say it out loud. We want Mozilla to stop.

        This is the right take
