"I don't see how you couldn't say it's a meaningful drop. Fifteen million is a lot of people, no matter which way you cut it. It represents about 6 percent of the total U.S. population ages 12 and older. What makes it particularly important is if it is part of a trend. This is the second straight year we've seen this number go down."#Facebookhttps://www.marketplace.org/2019/03/06/tech/exclusive-look-numbers-showing-users-leaving-facebook-by-the-millions

@fitheach Ha yeah I agree. Seems to be going from bad to worse for them. 😆 👏 FB lobbying against user data privacy was my favourite recent story.

#Mozilla's Chris Riley, Director of Public Policy, on recent privacy redirection from #Facebook..“The long-term challenge we need to be focused on with Facebook isn’t just whether we can trust the company with our privacy and security – it’s also whether they’re using privacy and security simply as a cover to get away with anticompetitive behavior.”https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2019/03/11/meet-the-newest-walled-garden/

This #DataScience implementation captured my attention last year. Nice to see it mature. Well, to a public alpha release.."Iodide’s markdown format — JavaSscript MarkDown, or JSMD — currently supports code cells containing #Javascript, CSS, Markdown (and HTML), #Python, a “fetch” cell that streamlines resource loading, and a plugin chunk that adds new cell types. More are on the way"#Mozillahttps://venturebeat.com/2019/03/12/mozilla-releases-iodide-an-open-source-browser-tool-for-publishing-dynamic-data-science/

#Firefox 66 rolls out this week. In fact ETA is from later TODAYGet ready for media autoplay blocking. Please note:Whilst immediately available (versions 66+) it will NOT be enabled by default, to ensure a smooth transition for all users. Over the course of the following week this WILL be enabled in increasing numbers until fully implementated for all users.I've been testing it Nightly. You'll love it!

A significant factor is messaging these provide to opposing political parties. Although "the government" may not act on such feedback, often responding in generic tones, as a litmus test of public opinion - they DO serve an important comms purpose.We're ALL burned out by BrexitI refuse to bow & accept "the government" view as the only valid perspective, however. Realtime feedback matters. Don't stop fighting for representation!https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

@njoseph Great framing!You touched on the top reasons a tool like Facebook Container is suddenly so popular. It's ended up becoming the most successful addon that Mozilla has ever built - by far.This NYT journalist deleted FB last year and has been updating each month how he's got on. 1) he's still alive 😆 2) he now recommends the FB Container to folks who can't find it in themselves to delete their account as he (and many in the Fediverse) have done.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/technology/personaltech/facebook-deleted.html
