For the clear return of the statement that Mozilla “will never sell your data” in the terms of use!

Here is what we can read on their blog:

"The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because, in some places, the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is broad and evolving. As an example, 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.”

As it happens, this term is exactly what the community uses Firefox (and Thunderbird) for. No matter what spurious arguments justify this withdrawal, its return must be demanded by the community.
I can't imagine continuing to use Firefox if it no longer guarantees that NONE of my data will be sold.

Let's fight for our rights.

It's easy to see where they're going with this: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-we-re-moving-forward-to-make-ads-and-privacy-coexist/m-p/72952

I would like to say that this text was initially an "idea" to vote on, but that by a miracle of censorship, it was transformed into a "discussion".

I tried a second time to create a new "idea" on the same subject, but with more simplicity, curiously, it disappeared = censorship!

Obviously, we do not have the right to vote for certain things and, above all, not to put forward certain ideas that are disturbing to the Mozilla company.

It's quite simple, I will stop using Firefox. Good riddance.

Le problème étant qu'il n'y a pas d'alternative fiable.
