Chances are that you might have heard about "Privacy Preserving Attribution for Advertising". I've been working for Mozilla for 12 years and I've learned about it here on the fediverse, not only because I haven't been paying much attention, but because internal comms have been occupied with other stuff. So let's talk about something I feel Mozilla desperately needs: transparency. 🧵 1/11

First of all let's make something clear. I've seen people claim that Mozilla has become an ad company because Mozilla bought and ad company, but that's ridiculous: Mozilla's work has already been funded by ads for two decades. The first agreement signed with Google dates back to 2005. That paid for most of Firefox development, an ad-funded browser. Most of the internet is ad-funded at this point. You might not like it, I don't like it, but that's the way it is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_ 2/11
