>I expect Mozilla to be neutral politically
Then you misunderstand what a 501(c)3 is and what it can do politically[0]. I expect Mozilla to get right up to the line of what is acceptable for that type of organization and probably cross it multiple times, because it appears no one is actually held to account unless the violations are flagrant.
Donating $100k to an email service that claims to attempt to keep the US Government from snooping your email[1] doesn't even come close, IMO.

- phjesusthatguy3 9y agoYou don't expect people to exercise their rights?
- sandov 9y agoDo you expect Microsoft to open source their operating system?. I mean, it's their right to do it.
- phjesusthatguy3 9y agoNo, but that's not what we're talking about. Mozilla giving money away is totally expected. You may not like who they gave the money to, but that's totally within your rights. If you look at what RiseUp says they do[0], it's that they run an email system that they attempt to keep the US Government out of. I am being led to believe that you don't agree with their reasons why, which is fine by me. [0]https://riseup.net/en/about-us https://riseup.net/en/about-us
