Mozilla Threatens to Go Beyond Deplatforming in Creepy Statement
thenationalpulse.com ^ | January 9, 2021

Posted on 01/10/2021 9:57:19 AM PST by Lera

The “siege” against the Capitol – which mostly amounted to a group of dressed up LARPers walking around after being let in by police – prompted the failing web browser brand to claim:

“Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.”

The newly defined goals of the company include exposing who advertisers are; and revealing networks of people who are guilty of wrongthink.

Mitchell Baker also wants to make default across his systems the amplification of corporate news voices over third party or entry-level providers.

Their full list of changes to made includes:

Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted. Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact. Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation. Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

In the past, critics of Firefox have urged the company to show independence from Google, despite their financial ties. The business model of Mozilla heavily relies on external funding, specifically on search engines.

According to Computer World, 91 percent of Mozilla’s funding in 2018 came from Google (as they secured being Mozilla’s default search engine). This deal was renegotiated in 2020 and extended for three more years, with approximately $400-450 million more landing in Mozilla’s lap.

“Nothing ominous in that one, Herr Gauleiter. What sort of “more” do you have in mind, exactly? Crematoria?”

Hey, not so fast. Give them a chance to get the cattle cars and concentration camps in place first.

When Firefox took money from Google they changed the look as well so it looks like Goggle’s Chrome browser. Firefox use dropped a whole lot as those that used it did not like the change. Comments were along the lines of “if we wanted Chrome we would get Chrome”.
You can make changes still to bring back the older look.

But.... Mozilla is trying to block the modifications in future Firefox versions.

I disagree. Historically speaking I classify the Dems and their left as fascists. And I use an historical test to do so.

There is noting Stalinist about today’s Dem party, outside of their totalitarian methodology,Stalin would never unify with big tech industry for example.,... that’s a thing that fascists do.

If you are interested, this is a great article to read from 2008 which talks about these fascists and why they are such:

As I understand it, something like Waterfox could be a good alternative for your gaming. Just bounce FF. Just not worth it to keep.

I don’t use PayPal, except to pay my water bill. I’m sure I can stroll to town hall and give them a check in the future, should PayPal go full Stalin.

They’ve used masculine pronouns to describe this person. Transgender, maybe?

Yep. I’m sure Ms. Baker also invites a young Dennis Hopper type to give weird speeches from time to time (old Twilight Zone reference).

If they are Fascists or Nazis, why do they follow the communist manifesto and communist tactics, while using communist buzz words even talking about dialectical materialism? Why are so many of the left’s leaders avowed communists? Why are Che Guevara, Stalin, Marx, and Lenin their heroes?

Actually this is not old style Stalinist communism, but the Third Way communism that Bill Clinton used as his game plan to enrich China militarily - using big tech is just another method to take over all communications not an endgame like fascists would use - the Chinese come close to that, but ultimate control rests with the State and the Great Leader.

0bama is just an opportunistic tool - neither fascist, communist nor muslim - who will be discarded when the time is right and after the real tyrant emerges from the field

Don’t be fooled into chasing the red herrings of Soros and Fascism or you’ll play their fiddle.

because thats their culture, But in fact, when you see how they actaully function, they are fascists.

For example, the culture is not proletarian at all. They are not dedicated to the theory that they speak.

The Germans were the same, just prior to WWII.
