Mozilla reverses course on its terms of use

Date:
Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:11:23 +0000

Description:
Mozilla has issued
an update to its terms of use (TOU) that were announced on February26. It has 
removed a reference in the TOU to
Mozilla's Acceptable Use Policy " because it seems to be causing
more confusion than clarity ", and has revised the TOU " to more
clearly reflect the limited scope of how Mozilla interacts with user
data ". The new language says: You give Mozilla the rights necessary to 
operate Firefox. This
includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy
Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide
license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you
input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that
content. Mozilla has also updated its Privacy FAQ to provide
more detail about its reasons for the changes.
