Of course we are. We didn't consent to being experimented upon or to have our behavior analyzed, so we have no basis for trust.

Acceptable depends on trust. Ask for permission, not forgiveness, and I am more inclined to trust. Without that, I assume the worst.
- scrollaway 5y agoYou're not assuming the worst if your assumption is that "some third-party I distrust will respect the checkbox they themselves control". Mozilla has arbitrary code execution rights on your computer the moment you allow them auto-updates. They're also entirely free to ignore your opt-out or opt-in requests.
- colordrops 5y agoThat's not a analogous situation. You can inspect and control what the code does on your device, but you can't inspect what is done with your data after it leaves it.
- scrollaway 5y agoYeah... no. If your claim is that the code on your own device can just be inspected, then you can inspect what data leaves your device instead of assuming Mozilla hoovers up everything including your porn stash, credit cards and the weed hidden in your cd tray.
- colordrops 5y agoYeah... yeah. What data goes out and what is done with it after it leaves are absolutely not the same thing.
