You criticised their guess as baseless just to follow up by denying their numbers without sources. Only one of you two chose to present a fact without backing it up. There's also this gesture of assuming that the opponent is motivated

At least in the German mainstream discourse the proportionality of specific policies as well as it's costs and benefits are reoccuring, if not central themes. This is, of course, currently about covid-19, but I think that the politica

Mozilla just replaced an open app ecosystem (incl. side loading) with a centralized opt-in nine entry app gallery. Maybe there's a time to call them interested in an open web but this specific release is a big step away from their form

Mozilla PR is famous for their absolutely meaningless and elusive corporate communication. I'm not sure how they ended up that way but it's a reoccurring theme.

This is not about "sympathy". Their argument focusses on how to prevent child abuse best. There is really nothing controversial in there. Imagine the hypocrisy where people woult opt to create a system that might end up enabeling
