    • History shows everything I’ve ever been to including the “nope that top result in my search engine actually didn’t contain the search string anywhere in its contents and is thus useless to me.” pages
    • Bookmarks are for things I routinely go to for years
    • Tabs are useful results for the projects I’m working on now.
    • Pinned tabs are the pages I visit multiple times a day.

    None of those is a substitute for any other.

    You could read it, it’s pretty short.

    Here’s what the AUP says about porn:

    You may not use any of Mozilla’s services to:

    • Upload, download, transmit, display, or grant access to content that includes graphic depictions of sexuality or violence,

    So yeah, in that sense it “says what it says about porn.” It’s just that “what it says about porn” is in a list of things you can’t use their services for and before the only mention of how to use their “product.”

    Through their various agreements and terms Mozilla makes a clear distinction between products and services and has clear guidelines on how you can use them. When the TOS says “obey the AUP” and the AUP says “don’t use our services for porn and don’t sell our products or services” then viewing porn with their product is not a violation of their AUP and thus not a violation of their TOS.

    Ultimately, however, the final decision would have to be resolved in court.


  • The Acceptable Use Policy contains guidelines for services and guidelines for products. The Firefox TOS says “Your use of Firefox must follow Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy, and you agree that you will not use Firefox to infringe anyone’s rights or violate any applicable laws or regulations.” The only part of the Acceptable Use Policy that pertains to products is “You also may not sell, resell, or duplicate any Mozilla product or service without written permission from Mozilla.” Mozilla has a separate TOS for their services.

    Therefore, you can look at porn in FF as long as you don’t bundle FF in a Linux repo without their written permission, but you can’t look at porn when using their VPN.






  • This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

    I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

    Be respectful of others.

    Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

    Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.

    1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn’t mean I haven’t answered.
    2. That’s your right as much as it’s my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

    It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

    Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.

    Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.

    If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.
