I'm baffled about the myriad of @mozillaofficial structures, amount of directors / C-level people & how to rhyme 'investing in privacy-respecting advertising; with 'draw a bigger circle of supporters over the long run.'

As a long time Mozilla supporter, I was already unhappy about the direction of the last years & this does certainly not bode well for the future. 😞 😩

#thunderbird seems to have something that kind of fits what I want (folders), but I don't see how that'd be accessible on my phone as well.

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.
