Mozilla adds stupid AI stuff with horrible T&C
(lemdro.id)
PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".
Yeah, corporate dark patterns really don't respect consent. When would you like to know more: Now, or Later?
Though I don't mind the "accept, deny, ask me again later" for when something seems interesting but I don't want to put the effort into looking into it right at the moment but don't want to click yes without looking into it.
These should be the norm, actually.
Yes, though it stops being as good if there's a "you can postpone this n more times" involved.
