Because they oppose spreading the views of a politician who staged a coup and attempted to end free elections? A person who is currently on trial in federal and state court for doing that? Keep in mind that this was posted two days after the coup attempt, and emotions were running high throughout the country.

  No, because the executive of a browser company (an apparent agnostic software tool, not a social media network) is advocating for "deplatforming" ... you don't think thats strange? Mozilla, from my understanding, has always been big on privacy first and data protection. This most definitely goes against their ethos, which is understandable, given how they've been hijacked over the years. I'm glad these advocates of "free and open software" show their true colors, it makes it really easy to not use their software. I'm not alone on this either.

    Deplatforming has no relevance to privacy and data protection, regardless of your feelings on the issue. Mozilla runs a content suggestion platform (Pocket), not just an agnostic software tool. It is sensible for them to have a stance on this particular issue. It’s also not “against their ethos” just because you don’t agree with it.
