Privacy not included: Holiday gift list for privacy and security

I see this as nothing more than a fun poke by Mozilla at the overwhelming majority of the technology industry—those who treat privacy as a nuisance at best and as a non-event at worst. Mozilla are giving people like myself the fun of clicking on the Amazon Echo or Google Home and voting "Super creepy," chuckling to ourselves about our virtuousness before closing the tab in Firefox. I doubt they expect this page to be used by many laypeople. Maybe…

For example—sites get downgraded if they don't require strong passwords. Now, maybe websites should require strong passwords, that's a completely reasonable position to take. But if you, the user, are using a strong password, whether or not others are required to use strong passwords has no impact on your privacy. Especially because privacy ≠ security.

"Is this a luxury product?" "Yes." "Is this product affordable?" "Yes." All stand in's for…
