Mozilla is one of the few groups on the internet I'm proud to support. Keep up the good fight!

I wonder if the fact they bundled adware/spyware in with their browser will affect this.

I supported them until the adware incident.

Please rethink your position. There are many people who genuinely care about freedom and privacy working at Mozilla, while at Facebook, Google, and Apple, developers are selling us out every day.

Good luck!

One more vote in the senate and they can pass a bill to do this.

It seems the major providers are holding off on any large changes until they feel it is safe from political blowback. I find this interesting.

This is great! Though I wonder if there’s anything more we can do than call our representative like the article suggests.

Why is the EFF not doing this instead of Mozilla ?

Also I hope people still pursue municipal broadband, even with NN relying on faceless corporations seems like a bad idea.

I’m sure there are many people working at Facebook, Google and Apple who also genuinely care about freedom and privacy, while there are developers working at Mozilla who are just as willing to sell out users as anyone.

It is true that Mozilla’s a nonprofit, but that doesn’t mean a lot to me when I try to guess what they’ll do in the future.

My rep sent a canned, formal-language-adorned "get stuffed" in response.
