Blocking a user from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate. It would also not silence that user, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.

>This article is garbage. It's a typical case of a complete outsider trying to analyze a scene he doesn't understand or know anything about based on "research", and trying to write for an audience that also doesn't understand the tech or scene or know anything about it.

By the time I have disabled it they have already pinged the "Adjust, Inc." servers at least once with my information. That's unacceptable.

The usage data is not sent to Mozilla but to a marketing company called "Adjust Inc.": https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios/wiki/Install-Tra...
Firefox sending my data to a marketing company should not be on by default... Heck, it should not even be an option.

Right now, after the Cliqz and remotely installed addon controversies, and the fact that Firefox Focus sends analytics data to a third party (Adjust Inc.), I'd say Apple is more privacy focused than Mozilla.

Klar also doesn’t send analytics to a third party like Focus does.
