Mozilla, the developer of Firefox browser, says “more must be done” to rid cyberspace of President Trump and other bad actors.
Mozilla argues that banning and permanent removal of bad actors is not enough.
Mozilla tweeted out that the unrest at the Capitol was the “culmination of a four-year disinformation campaign orchestrated by the President.”
Mozilla, developer of the Firefox internet browser, has argued that more must be done to keep Donald Trump and other “bad actors” out of cyberspace, prompting many to vow to never use the group’s services again.
In a blog post titled ‘We need more than de-platforming’, the open-source software community said that Twitter’s decision to permanently ban Trump from its platform didn’t go far enough in weeding out “hate” on the internet. While blaming Trump for the “siege and take-over” of the US Capitol on January 6, the non-profit tech group argued that “white supremacy is about more than any one personality.”
“We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done. Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms,” Mozilla wrote.
The group proposed a number of measures to help protect the internet from verboten views. Internet ads should list who paid for them, how much they are paying, and who is being targeted, Mozilla said. There should also be “meaningful transparency” of platform algorithms so that people can examine what kind of content is being promoted.
The group also demanded that “tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation” are added to the default settings of internet platforms, and said that independent research must be carried out to determine how social media is affecting society and what can be done to “improve things.”
Uninstalled. For once gave a reason as to why I uninstalled it.
Exactly what I did.
time to uninstall firefox
Time was when they kicked out their CEO for being conservative, he went ahead and made his own browser - Brave
yeah I've used brave for a few years but recently had firefox on the side for other reasons. didn't know about the ceo part though.
2014 , one of the first victims of the far left cancel culture and one of the first come backs : http://archive.today/2020.09.17-163132/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich#Appointment_to_CEO,_controversy_and_resignation somehow they haven't removed that section from wikipedia
Try Brave Browser: https://brave.com/
And be sure to change default search preferences to DuckDuckGo
I have Brave browser. No ads, no tracking. I love it.
I was one of the very first adopters of FF in 2002, it had great front-end dev tools, loved it...just deleted it from my 2 workstations and phone.
Bye!
