Thought this was interesting and worth knowing about
It should be pretty clear from this that people do not understand the need for a company that makes a browser to have a ToS. If Thunderbird is made by the same company but doesn’t have a ToS but has more valuable information in it (it’s an email client) then clearly Mozilla isn’t doing the shady things that people are saying they are. If they were they would have started with the gold mine of emails which are a better source of user data than any browser related data. But they didn’t.
It doesn’t work like that. Many people believe that the ToS was added to make Mozilla legally able to train AIs on the collected data. Using emails would be more efficient but also much more shady which Mozilla doesn’t want because their products are inferior in everything except for privacy claims already.
