   Did anyone find anything in this post about Mozilla refusing to take money from Google? I can’t find it. Mozilla, stop taking money from Google and letting them be the default search engine! Please don’t enable and legitimise surveillance c

   This. Now in this day and age nobody wants to pay for reading an unknown blog on Medium (unless it’s a very niche tech community) They just go to Twitter instead.

    I wouldn't want to join a company that just outright lies to me: > We don’t, Sell data, Sell ads, Charge interest Then why do I see requests to: Facebook, Heap, Segment and especially Google Analytics and Adroll? This is spyware.
