Mozilla’s now director of public policy once asked me, with a straight face, why I was giving them a hard time and holding Mozilla to a higher standard: “we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”
But that’s not what you tell people publicly, is it, Mozilla?
Still, it’s time y’all got this.
Mozilla is a half-billion-dollar for-profit corporation – whose CEO makes >$3M/yr – that has a foundation do its PR.

You know, I don’t need you to tell me ten years later that I was right. I need you to do the right thing today.
@aral I see you know my family
My brother, they will not tell us in ten years that we were right. They will never tell us that we were right. And they will not do the right thing, not then, not now.
Doing the right thing now is on us and us alone. Always has been. Always will.
What do you recommend Firefox and Thunderbird users switch to?
@aral What is the right thing?
@lulu I think we can start from “do no harm” and go from there.
@aral Ah, I see now! You are addressing Mozilla.
I thought "I need you to do the right thing today" was addressed to the browser users and then I didn't understand what you meant because I think currently browser users have no "right thing" options available.
Mozilla should definitely do better.
@lulu Sadly, they can’t. They’re not structured to be able to. They are, as their head of public policy once told me, “just another Silicon Valley tech company.”
(With a foundation that does their PR.)
