You wouldn't say anything else, so your statements don't change anything: Any company which wants to collect more data would justify it in the same way.
The main reason to collect data is monetization. People don't like to think they're being sold, so it's justified on other grounds. That's a universal. Since the way data is monetized is to track and segregate users, claims that it can be done in a privacy-respecting fashion are, therefore, specious.
There is one conclusion to be drawn here, and it isn't that Mozilla is going to respect my privacy.
- Ajedi32 9y agoAre you honestly suggesting that the only possible use for aggregate user statistics is for ads? Not for A/B testing or tracking performance regressions?
- msla 9y agoI'm saying that the behavior of someone who was collecting aggregate statistics for ads and the behavior of someone who was collecting aggregate statistics for another reason would be identical in this forum, so we must assume the worst.
