Jascha Kaykas-Wolff should be fired. Marketing shouldn't be allowed to modify the shipping bits at all, even if the Chief Marketing Officer tells them to. Any and all product changes should go through engineering and tracked in bugzilla. The CMO can file a ticket in the open just like anybody else can.

- persona_reuse 9y agoTo me, the sad part is (based on what little you can find in public bugs) the Shield team seemed to be engaged in this, and didn't raise a flag that their platform of experiments was being co-opted to push out a game. There's all the talk that Mozilla violated peoples privacy, and they're not wrong, but the larger loss, I think, is all the technical people who will turn off Shield and never come back to using it.
