Summary: It's truly surreal that Mozilla, more so in 2020, would seek to associate itself with some of the biggest enemies of privacy (and even add Microsoft managers to its Board) while bragging about how Firefox is good for privacy

YESTERDAY Mozilla proudly announced its partnership with Comcast as an ISP 'for privacy', noting that, in Mozilla's own words, "Comcast has taken major steps to protect customer privacy" (I find the whole thing laughable and another embarrassment to Mozilla, which previously did this with Cloudflare).

"Notice that this was compliance based on suspicion alone (no arrest and no conviction yet)."In police records that I recently studied Comcast was mentioned about a dozen times as 100% cooperative with the police (note: this isn't a terror case or a situation where national security is at stake). Maybe one day we'll share the full chain of events, at least once we've gathered all the installments (we handle this with great care and publish responsibly, omitting parts that contain sexual descriptions), but for now the following two pages may do:

Notice that this was compliance based on suspicion alone (no arrest and no conviction yet). Going back to Mozilla, its DNS lookup partner (whether with or without encryption) would likely keep detailed logs about requester/s. So what kind of privacy safeguards will there be, really? For Firefox users outside the US this may also mean leaking out browsing history to another country. Not a country renowned for peace and privacy, either... ⬆
