I haven't really tested it much, but I'm glad I took a second look because it's actually pretty competent!

Can you point to it in the sidebar?

I don't think it exists

The same non-existent rule was used here

@ the community: What's your favorite mapping app that's not made by Google and still works? I've been experimenting with a few, including TomTom (which seems to be the most competently made so far).

I've also tried Sygic (very janky) and Maps.me (missing locations), but at this point I think basically anything is better than Google

Addressed already - tl;dr nonsensical (and as a bonus, the reason does not exist in their rule list)

I did upload a screenshot with the link, but I guess it's inaccessible... Here it is in full resolution

There may be some combination of this and political partisanry going on. This isn't the only thread where one moderator is suppressing criticism of big tech and big government. I might need to take advantage of that community for recording some stuff, thank you for pointing it out.

I have many negative things to say about AI (and China) but like I stated earlier, this is in no way unique to DeepSeek.

Hmm. FOSStodon team:

Many accusations of astroturfing but no evidence. I thought it was obvious.

r/privacy moderators also censored this post with the same reason:

IRS nears deal with ICE to share addresses of SUSpected undocumented immigrants

Really makes you think.

Another deleted comment

Note, it seems you are not allowed in this reddit to express an opinion containing doubt about the security of WhatsApp - it will be removed by mods. As such, you can not read the replies here and form a judgement about what the consensus is.

Or, you know, obvious astroturfing as an excuse to promote alternatives is against the rules.

 

Today, when I navigated to amazon.com on Firefox for Android, I received a jarring message that I could "try" a new service, Fakespot, on the app.

What's Fakespot? A review-checking, scammer-spotting service Fakespot for Firefox."

Among other things, FakeSpot/Mozilla was forced to admit:
"We sell and share your personal information"

Fakespot's privacy policy allows them to collect and sell:

  • Your email address
  • Your IP address
  • Account IDs
  • A list of things you purchased and considered purchasing
  • Your precise location (which will be sent to advertising partners)
  • Data about you publicly available on the web
  • Your curated profile (which will also be sent to advertising providers)

Right before Mozilla acquired them, Fakespot updated their privacy policy to allow transfer of private data to any company that acquired them. (Previous Privacy Policy here. Search "merge" in both.)

Who asked for this? Who demanded integration into Firefox, since it was already a (relatively unpopular) browser extension people could have used instead?
