Expecting privacy (or privacy-preserving security) from Google products has always been folly.
Mozilla used to be different. However, when Brendan was purged, first doubts may have arisen. Now that we also see cyber-bully Klabnik on their payroll, the probability has risen sharply that Mozilla has been successfully subverted into a political pressure group.
Since Mozilla now is enrolled in support of the dominant ideology, it has no incentive for supporting privacy anymore, either: The dominant ideology wants minority opinion holders to be outed and ostracised.

- newuser88273 11y agoIf Mozilla was a-political, Klabnik couldn't work there if Brendan couldn't. He can, and Mozilla isn't. Actually, the politicalization of Mozilla means that everything technical will lose priority over time.
