Devil’s advocate: basically the only proper way to figure out how people are using your product and how you can tweak it to achieve its goal is by firing events and including relevant metadata such as how much time they spent on a screen or how far they scrolled. Telemetry is not necessarily “evil” by default.
Also, Firefox, lemmys beloved browser, sends telemetry by default. You have to dig through menus you didn't know existed to even find out, and then disable.
Not only to Mozilla, but third parties as well.
Mozilla is also HIGHLY political, paying large sums of money to hardcore anti-white organizations.
Are these the "anti-white" supporters you're talking about? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/
Seems odd that these anti-white warriors would be overwhelmingly white themselves. I'm guessing you think the only competent people they could find to hire were white?
