Dear Facebook: Withdraw Your Cease and Desist to NYU

This may be addressed to Facebook, but it's clearly written for a different audience. Accusing Facebook of impure motives and outright deception may feel good for Mozilla's staff, but it won't convince Facebook to change their stance. And let's not forget, Facebook is trying to draw a clear line against data exfiltration, to prevent another Cambridge Analytica disaster.

I really think this is just more posturing by Mozilla.

It seems apparent to me that any open letter should be primarily written to pander to a broad, general audience and only tangentially for the named "recepient". It is the readers of the letter that are intended to convince Facebook to change their stance.

Yeah, ‘cause you know I’ve got nothing better to do all day than wait for another open letter from my employer’s parent foundation. /s
