I'm sure China thinks of their censorship as education too. Whether Mozilla is big or small changes nothing. Censorship is censorship.

There is no "it's going to be". It's been happening for a long time. The article is way too long to describe this simple issue, IMO. Millions of bartenders, cashiers, etc. losing t…

That should be the standard for every device, regardless if it spies on you or not. It's so weird how the above article even had to be written.
