TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

look, i do agree with a lot of the criticism, but can we please stop with these weird headlines?

being spyware is independent from being open source. the software can be totally open source and spy on you, and closed source software can be completely privacy respecting.
