TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

You mean the thing they just shut down?

Exactly.

It's still up, so nice try.

Are you trying to imply Mozilla gets a free pass for spending two years selling private data to advertisement companies?

Definitely not from me anyway. I didn't know about this as I don't use Fakespot or Firefox Beta.

At least it's in the privacy policy so that we can choose to avoid it, rather than being forced upon us Chrome style.
