Es mag schwer verständlich sein, aber #Mozilla und andere verstoßen gegen geltendes Recht, auch wenn sie »nur« anonymisierte Telemetriedaten sammeln. Nach dem #TDDDG ist es unerheblich, ob die Daten anonym, pseudonym oder personenbezogen sind. Entscheidend ist, ob Informationen auf dem Endgerät gespeichert oder daraus ausgelesen werden. Beides erfordert nach § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG eine Einwilligung, sofern es nicht »technisch erforderlich« ist. Sorry Folks. 👇

Mozilla bought the excellent Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

Gibt sogar ein GitHub-Issue dazu. Money quote:

»Unfortunately we cannot make this type of data collection opt-in because the limited data from voluntary reports wouldn’t provide enough insights to make informed product decisions. Opt-in data would come from a small, biased subset, leading to flawed conclusions.«

Datenschutz und Einwilligungen sind grundlegende Rechte der Nutzer, die respektiert werden müssen, selbst wenn dies die Datenerhebung erschwert.

Actions speak louder than words, but in case you needed some reassurance today: we’re here for the long run. :tony_wee:

I just tried to leave the following comment on Mozilla's feedback page regarding their new AI "feature". Sadly, it asked me to log in *after* I hit Submit, despite the previous page saying I only needed to be logged in if I wanted to add an attachment. So now I'm even more unhappy.

Anyway, @mozilla, you don't seem to want to hear feedback on this, but I'm @-ing you anyway.

Very pleased with the option to translate sections of text and also to view plaintext files within the browser in the latest #Firefox, version 128. :flan_thumbs:​ #Mozilla
