We can only laud Mozilla for calling out Facebook over tracking, though I'm always left with the impression that the pervasive tracking Google engages in is a blind spot for Mozilla, at least in public statements. One of the most unavoidable tracking services is reCAPTCHA, and the latest version works best when it is embedded in every page of a site. reCAPTCHA v3 collects sensitive personal data, such as mouse movements (which may reveal health issues), it maps how you interact with content, and your browsing history can be reconstructed from the pages you visit. Think of it as Google Analytics, but one from which you cannot opt out, because that means you're denied service on the respective site. Given reCAPTCHA's popularity, this is effectively an inescapable data harvesting operation, since it uses Google's company-wide privacy policy, which gives them the right to use your data for ad personalization. The turning point for Mozilla would be to call this out, and stand up against personal data collection for which consent cannot be freely given.
