Feel like this should be required reading for half of the Mozilla posts I'm seeing.

Thanks for doing the leg work @veggero

@mdiluz @veggero Ehh, I think this is a generous interpretation. "De-identified" data is frequently trivially identifiable by combining multiple pieces of information. IP addresses are identifying. Services could mean the service products that Mozilla, or it could just mean the generic service that Mozilla provides.

I think this is a slow slide towards Firefox selling data like anyone else, and while maybe you don't need to jump ship right this moment it's time to start looking at alternatives.

@tom_schultz @veggero Yup, that's a fair approach to this! A slippery slope argument is still a useful tool in some contexts and can be an indicator of when to plan for change.
