You're assuming they are driven by a business opportunity; I have no evidence of their motives (do you?), but another way to see it:
There is no law and no prospect of one soon. Mozilla can partially solve the problem by providing the service - I think that's great. Otherwise people would have less recourse.
And also, Mozilla must have money to operate; charging for this service seems among the least-bad options.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWell, we arrive at the whole "the optimal amount of fraud is non-zero" train of thought, otherwise there is no money-making opportunity. They push on the legal aspects of other problems, but I don't see them pushing on the legal aspects of this. Mozilla receives half a billion dollars per year from Google, making up most of their revenue. Mozilla's CEO is also paid millions of dollars each year. If they can't survive as-is whilst paying out those kinds of salaries with such revenue, that's a management problem.

Do undertakers want you to die? Yet they still get paid. > They push on the legal aspects of other problems, but I don't see them pushing on the legal aspects of this. That's not persuasive, unless you are in that business. Where is a list of the things they do? > If they can't survive as-is whilst paying out those kinds of salaries with such revenue, that's a management problem. While I don't like the CEO's pay, competitors have far greater budgets - and pay CEOs far more - as do many businesses. The amount itself isn't evidence. Where is the evidence that Mozilla isn't allocating funds well?
