Re:Mozilla – We need more than deplatforming (2021) by AnonC on Monday January 10, 2022 @08:47PM (#29886096)
At the point in time I’m writing this, this post is flagged, and I don’t understand why. Mozilla Foundation’s mission is for an open web, and I’d think that this includes asking more of platforms to be open and transparent in their decisions. Will these requests really work anytime soon? That’s hard to say with large companies with almost unlimited money to shove problems away. Will technology alone solve the problems? Surely not, but technology is a key part to solving them since it’s the one handling the massive coordination. Should we ask these of platforms and people? Certainly!

This seems to be the opposite of "open" to me.
