This is a wildly bad take in my opinion.

Comcast has proven themselves to be uninterested in adhering to their contractual obligations. You bet your ass they are 1) figuring out how to work around their contract with Mozilla without attracting legal attention, and 2) making contingency plans for winning any resulting lawsuit.

IANAL but I'm not even sure there would be a lawsuit, based on this policy document linked from the article: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/DOH-resolver-policy#Enforc...

It looks like the punishment for violating mozilla policies would simply be to remove Comcast from the trusted provider group...maybe. Not very impressive.
