“Why this had to happen”? Well, that's certainly ominous and gaslight-y (because no, it didn't have to happen).
Will #Mozilla next be asserting the right to scrape and sell the contents of our emails as well?

@argv_minus_one @ryanleesipes It actually did have to happen, du to regulator pressures. How it was done isn’t good, IMO, but they did have to add terms of use.
Quoth the ToU announcement:
> the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”
Mozilla is not supposed to be doing any of that!
