User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

You are party to the elimination of the freedom of speech which an infinite number of patriotic men and women of the armed forces have fought and died to preserve. You failed us all and we hold you accountable. Repent and redeem yourselves.

Actual results:

Mozilla, developer of the Firefox internet browser, has argued that more must be done to keep Donald Trump and other “bad actors” out of cyberspace, prompting many to vow to never use the group’s services again.

Expected results:

Freedom of speech should have remained uninhibited. You stood for security. You stood for freedom, peace and goodness. You are now party to taking away basic freedoms and rights. Your program will be uninstalled from every device I have access to unless you are to redeem yourselves.

You have misread the blog post, which calls for transparency in social media. The bold bits are the point, not the scene-setting news recap that precedes it. This is not a new topic for us:

There's no Firefox bug here so I don't know what to do with this in the context of Bugzilla. We have plenty of mailing lists, web forums, and online chat groups where we can discuss what Mozilla should stand for and your opinion about the mistakes we've made.
