I wouldn't opt in, but...

...I don't have the same apparent hatred of the accumulation of wealth that so many here seem to have. It seems like anything a company does, even as innocuous as this opt-in tracking, sends many posters into ridiculous anti-capitalist and greedy corporations rants.

And people are chicken sh!t.

To say they "FEAR" Mozilla collecting anonymous user data...what a joke.

Did you say INNOCUOUS tracking? Hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha.

Hey, I want to accumulate wealth by tracking you. Please email all of your personal data including all financial, employer and consumer purchase data from the past 10 yrs, mother's maiden name, SSN, DOB, mailing address, and anything else that you feel is pertinent to my accumulation of wealth based on tracking you. My email address is TrustMe@ImCuddly.com

Opt-in. Only people who aren't concerned about being tracked would opt-in. Hence, it is innocuous.

Engage in hyperbole much? Of course Mozilla isn't going to track all the things you just posted. Try reasoned and intelligent discussion next time.

Provide evidence that Mozilla would collect any of that information.

Because proof of wrong doing is always a pre-requisite before consumers should hand over the personal data Mozilla is asking for.

Just so we're clear you have ZERO evidence that Mozilla intends to collect any of that information.

Thanks for playing.

Just to remind you there was "zero evidence" of your ISP collecting and then selling clickstream data. Your entire premise of having to prove something first in order for you to believe it will happen is illogical.

Of course not. And data harvesters will never sell confidential data. Ever. They promise.

As opposed to declaring the Mozilla Foundation guilty of in absence of any evidence I suppose.

Yeah, and social security was not suppose to be an ID. Now when I call and order cable TV the cable company needs it to ensure that I'm not a serial killer or something who is buying cable and demands that SS be provided. Yeah... never going to happen said the Government. GameFAQs said it would never get ads, take a nice visit and see how many are in the front page alone. When the chances of higher profit arise, the ones who control the decisions tend to care little to bend their promise.

History is suppose to open your eyes. If you see a duck quack and you see the action repeated, do you all of a suddenly no longer believe that ducks quack?

I like to learn from history... those who take a history class only to repeat the mistakes of decades ago are some of the dumbest people on this planet.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, I'm a moron so shoot me.

Hey, hand me over your credit card information and consent of using your credit card for "informational purposes". I promise I won't buy anything with it or reveal your information.

My word is worthless just like that of any other person. Please do not tell me you are a ignorant 10 yr old and believe every garbage promise spewed out of somebody's mouth is golden. Anybody wise person will learn a few things in their life:

1) Life is not fair
2) People lie
3) Government can't be trusted and needs to be checked on constantly(which we are failing to do lately more than ever)
4) USA has a very ego centric attitude

Hardly. You just take a ball and run with it, meanwhile the game hasn't even started yet.

I have concluded that you are just a naive trusting little person who apparently has not yet ventured out in the world sufficiently long to have your trust betrayed. The day is coming, however, sonny. I pity you when it does. You're in a for a rather harsh awakening.

And you can go ahead and live your life cowering in fear with your tinfoil hat.

I'll fret over the Mozilla Foundation when there is actually something to fret over.

People like you have been saying the world is ending for decades.
