ICYMI, Mozilla goofed with their offering. They partnered with a business that had previously sold personal data and then shifted to a "pay to remove it" model. They've since reversed course on it entirely.
Well shit.
Good to know, thanks.
When you say they reversed course, do you mean they scrapped the project entirely, or went back to the model they were going with when they announced it?
I'm... Not exactly sure. They severed their connection with the OneRep company but say they still want to provide subscriptions.
If you think that's wild, just wait until you look up what their FakeSpot subsidiary sells to advertisers...
