i am just, so incredibly upset about the mozilla ai shit and their ongoing lack of meaningful response to the reaction against it

their response just feels like petty corporate attempts to control the messaging, and carries the same undertone of refusal to recognize user agency and consent, that all the other corporations have been using for years - and this isn't the only instance of me feeling that from mozilla, but it does feel blatant

i will not be able to trust them again unless they pull back hard

This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
