▲ 798 ▼ Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data (www.theverge.com) submitted 1 year ago by Xatolos@reddthat.com to c/technology@lemmy.world 162 comments fedilink hide all child comments AI Summary: Overview: Mozilla is updating its new Terms of Use for Firefox due to criticism over unclear language about user data. Original terms seemed to give Mozilla broad ownership of user data, causing concern. Updated terms emphasize limited scope of data interaction, stating Mozilla only needs rights necessary to operate Firefox. Mozilla acknowledges confusion and aims to clarify their intent to make Firefox work without owning user content. Company explains they don't make blanket claims of "never selling data" due to evolving legal definitions and obligations. Mozilla collects and shares some data with partners to keep Firefox commercially viable, but ensures data is anonymized or shared in aggregate.
