New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

Yep. They can't sell it now. But once they've collected enough of it to be worth selling, they can change the ToS again.
@rupert @davidgerard it sounds like they just took out the part that says they don’t sell our data. Right?
@tsyum @davidgerard They enumerate the purposes they'll use the data for, and the list doesn't currently include selling it, so I read that as they can't, under the new ToS, sell your browser history.
They couldn't sell it before because they didn't collect it (afaik).
Nothing stops them changing the ToS in the future to sell it then.
@rupert @davidgerard I think you misunderstood. They did not rollback their modification of the term of use. The modification of the Term of use was the removal of their promise, so they can sell the data from now.

Do you all remember when Google removed their motto “Don’t be evil”? Well, Mozilla just did the same, now.
