Well, there go my annual Tor donations, oh well. Let's see if they can make up for these losses by going the cancel culture/censorship route. And Mozilla has been a joke for a while with their latest CEO. He's literally trying to jump on anything currently trendy, to hold onto his seat and salary for as long as possible while he drives its projects into the bedrock.

I just did the same - no contributions to Tor from me. As I mentioned in a different comment, I also just uninstalled Firefox. Slightly off topic, I have been hammering my friends when they start spouting off cancel culture. I am considerably to the left of most of my friends who are democrats so I don't think it is political. Too many people judge written or spoken words based on who said them, rather than the content.

  >I also just uninstalled Firefox. I already ditched Mozilla over the Brendan Eich smear. I'm through with Maoist-inspired tech. The idea that people must atone and genuflect for having a contrary opinion is purely reprehensible.

I am not even sure how to trust something like Tor given their name appears on this letter. If the people leading it are willing to participate in cancel culture witch hunts built on baseless allegations and bad faith hyperbolic exaggerations, then they will be just as unprincipled and ready to betray the privacy of Tor users when it does not agree with their ideologies or values.

I had some correspondence with rms while he was being hunted, and all he asked is to help the FSF by becoming a member. He was still defending the same organization that was removing him. So if we want to show support now is the time to become members, to show the FSF our support for rms and what he stands for.
