The add-on itself doesn't do any censorship itself. Yeah it does not. But remember that allowing such addons to be published on official site of firefox show the world that Firefox and Mozilla supports such activity, and also its against web openness. > > We host add-ons with similar features (reporting or filtering bad sites, > for some definition of "bad"), but this is the first one that is > associated to a government institution. I'm totally agreed with reporting bad content like (spywares, attacked sites and so on) but limiting people access to web, censoring and filtering internet content offending user knowledge, sense and reason. Filtering means users are stupid and can not decide for themselves that which content is good and which one is not. > So, technically, nothing that this add-on does is against our policies. > While we're obviously not happy with what the add-on does, we try as > much as possible to separate ourselves from the add-on content as much > as possible (we only have some restrictions on adult content, gambling, > and warez). I'm completely aware of this matter that the mentioned addon is not against Mozilla policy. But we request to change the policy and reject such addon.
At last I deeply want you guys to reconsider Mozilla policy about such addons. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
