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".
The fact that the Mozilla Foundation is non-profit, despite wherever controversy there may be around their decisions of late, is a pretty significant factor.
Mozilla Foundation has no members, it's operated by the for-profit Corporation, and the Corporation is powered by its profit motive.
Even worse, the majority of its revenue comes from Google for making it the default search engine.
