@jalcine Mozilla is a half-billion dollar for-profit corporation that gets that money almost-exclusively from surveillance capitalist Google. They’re also venturing into AI and are, themselves, venture capitalists now. As their head of public policy once told me “I don’t know why you’re holding us to such a higher standard… we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

I am not impressed. The moderation policies aren't worth the key presses that made them if there isn't equitable treatment of the moderators (you know the people moderating). So far it sounds like they will just replicate the worst of the big corporate giants: Outsource the hard, dangerous work to workers somewhere so as to avoid providing benefits and fair wages.
