@jwz I was the lone sole that told Mitchell, and the exec team at a weekly all hands meeting that this was a bad idea and very much against Mozilla 's ethos.

Before I did, at the mic, I led with "I'm sorry to those remote; what I'm about to say isn't available in your region" then turned the mic.

It was in vain, I suspect they were desperate that if they didn't capitulate, they'd lose Netflix and thus more users.

Few people emailed me after to thank me for standing up for what was right.
