TL;DR: Mozilla is killing localization on Support Mozilla, overwriting articles written by humans with machine generated translations. Although Mozilla knows that their AI doesn’t localize or adhere to style guides, Mozilla is going live with it anyway. I thank locale leaders and localizers for their tireless efforts. Locale leaders seem to be obviated by AI, and Mozilla has nothing to say about it.

      Yes, and I’m guessing what you wrote about was completely incorrect. Browsers must transfer the data, so any terms of service must cover those cases. Because people don’t understand stuff like this, posts exactly like yours get posted, people believe them, and then misinformation spreads like wildfire.

      Then people like me are still dealing with the misinformation months later because others didn’t take five minutes to think through what they were posting before they did so.

      I’m honestly incredibly sick of it, especially with Mozilla posts because it’s been misinformation numerous, numerous times. At this point if a post about Mozilla isn’t misinformation then I’m surprised.
