James OhI genuinely feel for the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mozilla</a> legal team. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LawFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawFedi</a> Folks, remember, lawyers are independent advisors (or should be). We don't make decisions - those are for management. My guess is that lots of solid legal advice has been ignored regarding the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/termsofuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#termsofuse</a> update.

Sim> People are really jumping to the worst possible interpretation of this.> I think there's some "abused dog syndrome" happening here: in recent years we have become so used to product offerings and privacy guarantees becoming steadily worse that we flinch whenever we think it might be happening again, even when what we're actually reacting to has no ill-intent.> The most likely explanation (and the one that Mozilla implies in their update) is that some lawyer has got twitchy about the fact that Mozilla don't ask for permission, when using user data, to do the thing that the user wants to do with it, i.e. send a web request.<a href="https://tildes.net/~tech/1maf/firefoxs_new_terms_of_use_grants_mozilla_complete_data_processing_rights_of_all_user_interactions#comment-ezdm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tildes.net/~tech/1maf/firefoxs_new_terms_of_use_grants_mozilla_complete_data_processing_rights_of_all_user_interactions#comment-ezdm</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114076167184310953" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114076167184310953</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mozilla</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/termsOfUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#termsOfUse</a>

Aral BalkanAnything you say or do in Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one will not be provided for you because capitalism is working exactly as designed.<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-terms-of-use/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-terms-of-use/</a><a href="https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/information-about-the-new-terms-of-use-and-updated-privacy/td-p/87735" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/information-about-the-new-terms-of-use-and-updated-privacy/td-p/87735</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/TermsOfUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TermsOfUse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>

Open TechMozilla's blog outlines the updated Terms of Use for Firefox. These terms govern user interactions with the browser, emphasizing privacy, security, and user rights. Key changes include clearer guidelines on data usage and user responsibilities. The update aims to enhance transparency and ensure a better user experience. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TermsOfUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TermsOfUse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UserRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UserRights</a>

Jonathan Kamens<a href="https://federate.social/tags/Garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garmin</a> sends out email on March 4 notifying its users that it has updated its <a href="https://federate.social/tags/TermsOfUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TermsOfUse</a>. The body of the email says that the updated terms of use took effect on February 17, 2024, i.e., 16 days before users were notified. There is nothing in the email (or at the link in the email) saying exactly what has changed in the terms of use. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/wtf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wtf</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smdh</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>
