As of September 19th, 2024, Webacy is still listed in the Mozilla Venture Capital portfolio:
Title changed. Can you explain your offense at not having [2023] in the title? Other people actually had a reason to complain, but you did not.
Mozilla purchased FakeSpot back in May 2023, and at the time, I sounded the alarm because of the dubious privacy policy they imported without changing.
People told me to Wait and See. And I waited, and Mozilla never changed it.
Unfortunately, if you Wait and See for too long, things apparently become Too Old Too Matter.
Mozilla genuinely believes that this company follows the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. At least, according to what Mozilla.vc says on its homepage.
(See more of the $35 million of its investments there.)
Other investments include:
- Rodeo, an app that acknowledges the Gig Economy is harmful to Uber and Lyft drivers, but fundamentally doesn't want to change those harms.
- HuggingFace, a company valued at $4.5 billion already.
- lockrMail, an "inbox protecting" tool with a Chrome extension but no Firefox equivalent, and a direct competitor to Firefox Relay.
So do you actually draw the line at Mozilla never building stuff like this into their browser, or is that a line you would be willing to cross too?
I won't trust the AI Mozilla uses until they show us the source data. Not the source code that consumes a massive binary blob; the stuff that generated the binary blob they are using.
The language is confusing, and Mozilla should fix it themselves.
The important takeaway is: data is sent over an IP address controlled by Google, to a remote server, running Google software. No processing is taking place on someone's local computer.
We actually do have better terminology for "local to Mozilla" and "remote to Mozilla"... It's first party and third party.
And, from the looks of it, Mozilla is indeed using Google Cloud Services as a third party, according to their privacy policy.
