My purpose with this post is not to expose Mozilla, but to show how deep many of us are in this business. I admit I am guilty of similar practices myself.

I think we should use this privacy crisis to stop and rethink what are we gathering about our users, how are we doing it, can we really guarantee their privacy in our countries and on technological platforms we use.

If you really care about your users, think before gathering any of their data. It may end up somewhere you or they do not want.
