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".
You are right. I think they should make it more clear.
In the FakeSpot privacy notice, Google Analytics, Social Media Platforms, Contact Info, and Identifiers are not collected by Firefox, among others. So it's fair to say the data collected is not linked to the user.
The
browser.shopping.experience2023.ads.enabledflag is intriguing. So I took a look. It turns out that the recommendation is only based on the current page you request the review analysis.In general, I believe that it is primarily ambiguous legal documents rather than a genuine invasion of privacy.
