    Also not what I said.

    Source: 2022 Hey look, years ago. And your other page was 2018.

    Mozilla started selling private data to advertising companies in 2023 (Assuming this is about Pocket) Is it too much to expect from you to know the difference between aggregated non-PII data vs PII data?

        It’s about their FakeSpot subsidiary.

          I wasn’t thinking about that one, although it is hilarious Mozilla thinks it can claim it isn’t scraping private data by using a business collaborator as an intermediary.
