Is it becoming a truism that (in this space) the profit motive will inevitably lead to user abuse?
Maybe we need more 501c3 and benefit corps providing basic stuff like an internet browser?

- zdragnar 5y agoThe mozilla Foundation doesn't provide their browser, the mozilla for-profit subsidiary corporation does.

They've already adopted some infrastructure software projects into their governmental operations, not only using them, but also participating and maintaining them. They also have many initiatives mandating the use of open source where applicable, and also suggestions of liability for closed source software by law. Harr! Unheard of! Those naughty Gauls!
