A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Even with this change, I'm not sure their argument makes sense. What part of the CCPA's definition of "sale of data" precludes them from using it is beyond me. The definition is clear about ending with "...for monetary or other valuable consideration". So what consideration is Mozilla getting for transferring data to web servers?
I understand funding a large project like Firefox is hard. But they also have some of the most hardcore fans tech has seen. Kagi has shown that users are willing to pay (I myself use their $10/mo plan). So why can Mozilla not attempt this? A lot of us donate to Mozilla Foundation--where does that money go? How much goes to Firefox?
