Whatever.

Mozilla fucking hired the former Senior VP of Facebook to be the CTO.

You know the $370M judgement for targeting children? That fucker.

<p>I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.</p><p>Now the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/#graham-mudd">former Senior VP of Marketing</a> of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.</p><p>And the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/#graham-mudd">former VP of Ads</a> in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.</p><p>Let me repeat this:</p><p>The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/meta-allegedly-targeted-ads-at-teens-based-on-their-emotional-state/">advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state</a>" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!</p>

Oh no! I did not know about this...

@lproven @theregister

Yeah :( I thought this was some sort of "lol April fools" gag.

But nope, they hired the lead who got FB/Meta that 375M$ judgemen and put him as a C level.
