●● Mozilla Waters Down Its Vision of The Internet

Posted in Deception at 1:47 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

When Mozilla speaks of “Internet Health” it does not mean free speech online but the opposite of that

Image: France’s browser-based website blocking proposal will set a disastrous precedent for the open internet: Lowercase 'i' every time, even one more time at the bottom; They know how to spell Internet correctly

Summary: Mozilla is either run by people who don’t understand Mozilla’s turf/domain or is steered in the wrong direction by ‘suits’ who are intentionally distorting things (they have another vision of the Web/Net, wherein censorship is necessary)

=> Mozilla

MOZILLA Firefox is probably the least unethical (double negation) Web browser for people who try access stubborn “modern” sites — Web sites that demand one of the “Big Browsers” or be denied access (short of faking being one of the “Big Browsers”).

Mozilla is now run by pushers of social control media (managers got hired from Facebook and Twitter) and the Board has Microsoft in it. Not quite the desirable composition and it shows (for instance, lots of “Hey Hi” chaff lately).

But here’s another rub.

“Mozilla is now run by pushers of social control media (managers got hired from Facebook and Twitter) and the Board has Microsoft in it.”

One might call this an act of nitpicking, but this is not the first time that Mozilla does it and people who work at Mozilla should know better. They should at least know how to spell “Internet” correctly, but repetition of the mistake suggests it’s not a typo; they did that weeks ago (we mocked them for it) and they did it again on June 26.

One reader has asked us to note the misspelling of the name “Internet” which they have apparently intentionally done (screenshot above). That misspelling is relevant to the the topic which they pretend to address. Proper nouns are always capitalised in English an internet and The Internet are two different things and by focusing on an internet instead of The Internet they are allowing for balkanisation and censorship and accepting it as the way forward.

=> ↺ intentionally done

The top of all the pages in Mozilla’s site (main navigation menu) says “Internet Health”; we’d rather see an assessment of “Mozilla’s Health” (as a company). It’s too dependent on Pentagon contractors and spying companies. We recommend LibreWolf instead of Firefox (for Gecko). █
