Mozilla Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, meaning that (in the U.S.) donations are tax deductible. One of the requirements of 501(c)(3) is to avoid promoting any political candidate or influence legislation[1].
It appears that Mitchell Baker is walking on thin ice, by attacking Donald Trump and in general calling for censorship. There was actually a time when I supported Mozilla enthusiastically, as an innovative open source alternative to the (then) Microsoft hegemony.
Today I avoid Mozilla like the plague; I feel they have betrayed their libertarian roots.
