I'm glad to see Mozilla move from throwing stones to offering solutions:

That said, we're in an even worse place w/ the privacy discourse than Bobby's note implies. The threat is data at rest, and attenuating collection (as Apple has implied is the way forward) doesn't actually solve the problem, it only narrows it somewhat.

The strong solutions involve toothsome privacy laws. And until the "privacy is a human right" companies push on *that*, it's all performative.
