Anonymization of data is not a simple task. Even with the noblest of intentions things can go wrong. See the problems with the sharing of medical data in the UK and examples from the US [1]. [1] http://arstechnica.com/tech-p

It's not accurate. See [1]. Some of the material is sourced from PR statements from foreign governments like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It's ironic that an anti-terrorism list is been used by brutal, foreign regimes to co-op Britis

Yes. It's bad when Microsoft does it this way because it's opt-out. IntelliJ/Android Studio prompts you and asks you your preference first. I think Eclipse is opt-in but could be mistaken.

What I really mean is morally good. Call me naive but I think the majority of employees at Mozilla do want to make the world a better place. Mozilla doesn't sell your data or undermine your privacy unlike its main competitors. It doesn
