Am I missing something or does that law not apply to Mozilla giving Mozilla the data like you're implying?
Internal data transfer afaik doesn't matter. Using firefox collected data to improve firefox would amount to nothing, it's only when they give that data itself to a third party (in any ways shape or form as you said) that the law comes into effect.
- braiamp 2y agoThe problem is that they also transfer that data and make it public [1] and also share with partners researchers for improving the software. Those two usages are selling according to California law, just because they can be argued as something that improves the product Firefox or Mozilla services.

- ooterness 2y agoIf you "share with partners" in exchange for money, that sounds a lot like selling.
