As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.
As promised, here is an interview with @[email protected] from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.
We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.
@[email protected] Thanks for uploading the episodes to peertube nick. I recently abandoned YT and you are one of the few good ones who does both, wich is appreciated
@[email protected] Great video! I just feel the whole thing has been very poorly communicated. What @[email protected] is doing here Mozilla should have been doing from the very beginning. We're a fairly big Firefox redistributor and there has been no communication towards us. And it does make people nervous here.
BTW is there any particular reason why the video is only 720p on PeerTube and 1080p on YouTube?
@[email protected] @[email protected] No, it’s likely just because transcoding isn’t finished yet :)
@[email protected] on the regulatory pressure point, this is starting to seem like "we may sell your data" is going to become the new "contains substances known to cause cancer" (California Prop 65) with such a broad definition, which is unfortunate because it will end up diluting the meaning :/
@[email protected] Only a few minutes in, but already I'm greatly appreciating the conversation.
@[email protected] @[email protected] thanks for this interview. I still feel unconfortable with all of this, but really appreciated the discussion.
I love Firefox and Thunderbird even more, I would be sad to have to switch!

“Why this had to happen”? Well, that's certainly ominous and gaslight-y. Will #Mozilla next be asserting the right to scrape and sell the contents of our emails as well?
#Thunderbird
@[email protected] @[email protected] It actually did have to happen, du to regulator pressures. How it was done isn’t good, IMO, but they did have to add terms of use.

Quoth the ToU announcement:
> the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”
Mozilla is not supposed to be doing any of that!
