Thanks everyone for your active participation here. We knew this would have a lot of interest and so we’ve waited to dive into the conversation because we see some themes emerging that I’ll respond to broadly here. The main concerns I’m noting are around the license agreements we declare, our use of data for AI, and our Acceptable Use Policy. Below are a few clarifications to each of these areas.

      idk why people are downvoting, it’s exactly what has happened with literally every bad policy online anywhere. They beta test it to gauge how bad backlash would be, then if it’s acceptable go ahead with it, if too much backlash just use the “oh it was just a beta! we would never do that 🥺” excuse then in 6 months try again

      Edit: the Lemmy hive mind has reversed their decision. It was at +4 | -4 when I replied

        Because they said multiple times they don’t plan on making it a default. From the very beginning Mozilla announced their AI extensions will not be forced on people. I don’t understand the “but what if they do” comments. “What if elon musk bought firefox?!??! It could happen!”
