Firefox makes another blogpot about misinformation

some random highlights:
>In the fight against misinformation, the more you know the less you’re certain
>In December 2017, BuzzFeed found that viral fakes were still reaching huge audiences.
>When politicians weaponize the term “fake news” to either bully the media or denigrate their opponents, our capacity to come to a shared understanding of reality becomes harder.
I hope you guys made the switch to waterfox or qutebrowser

>being google's bitch is better
Mozilla are cucks but they haven't got nearly the influence and power that Google has.
And it's not like Google employees' views are better.

No but seriously, misinformation starts at the source. News sites, google, etc etc, all change their content to fit the user profile. Reality is personal. The only way to even get close to objectivity is to have a source that treats you as anonymous.
Not even paper does that, since they all cater to the people who buy them. It's better than a personalised one though, since the papers are personalised to groups instead of an individual.

Thought that was Chinese now.

In the longer term hopefully Brave will be a viable alternative.

These "people" are just totalitarian pieces of shit who LARP as revolutionaries while they work ceaselessly to prop up the current system. They're weak and small brained fools who fear change, because real change means they'll be on the wrong side of millions of angry people who they worked against for years. They're the useful idiots of their capitalist masters.

good thing shitfox is dead

Nobody here uses SJWfox anymore.
Those that do like the browser it itself, like me, use Waterfox or another alternative.

>Switched to Chrome
You mean Ungoogled-Chromium, right?
Or Brave?
Or another alternative?

Right?

It's perfectly fine if you don't want/need addons.
I use it on Mobile and on one Desktop, it's basic but fine.

When they'll have addons, it'll be great.

I just want a browser that is as fast and has good font rendering. Chrome or anything else like it doesn't suffice. And I need sync as well. I'll stop using this when they censor my shit or I can't watch certain videos or articles from certain sites because they are vehemently against their own narrative.

I mean shit, I use google services and they are pretty active at trying to keep people away from "wrongthink". What I don't understand is how even leftists could trust BuzzFeed. They are fake and it has been demonstrated dozens of times, you can't make a lie true just by waiting for a few weeks until everyone forgets about it.

I'm politically against mozilla but I can't just stop using their product for now. I'll wait until there's actual alternatives. Not so bothered about privacy as much as I am with functionality.

What are your arguments against Waterfox?

Attached: Capture.png (359x270, 13K)

My arguments are, Firefox was absolute garbage until Quantum. Is Waterfox there yet?

cuckzilla sjwfox

quick rundown? 0 desire to read through pages of leftist drivel

Try it and tell us what you dislike about it.

For years, Mozilla has been corrupted by far-left ideologues and this shows more and more on the product itself.

Come home white man.

>waterfox
okay correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm gonna run that on Linux I don't get to have a nice package in Debian's repos so that apt update && apt upgrade gets me security fixes. and from waterfox's website it appears they don't even give you someone running their own repo like Pale Moon does. you get to just download a tarball, presumably with a binary in it. I ain't doin that shit for any software where I care about security patches in any way shape or form.

>uses inferior httpseverywhere
>can't even resolve to https on website by default
no thanks

i'm forced to use it by my antifa supersoldier squad leader.

My bad, I thought it would be the same old sluggish Firefox. Guess I could try this.

Fake news is a tool to shut down legit stuff
Filtered news, preferable by federal outlets is a much bigger problem

I'm waiting for icecat 60. On Icecat 52.

Neither fucking Cuckzilla nor fucking BuzzFeed care about ""fake news"", they just care to advance their agenda.

They are not neutral agents trying to restore order and prevent misinformation, they want to label what they don't like as fake news and introduce systems to "combat" those "fake news".

Yes fake news is an issue, it always has been, but you can't trust fucking commies just because they say they don't like them either.

Attached: 1536171956628.jpg (400x400, 91K)

If a "fact" isn't reproducible then its not trustworthy. Politics is a game of misinformation, you can literally say X is true if you have enough money and power even if this isn't the case. Fuck Mozilla, and fuck Buzzfeed too.

Aren't those two separate issues? News outlets are by their very nature filters and they wouldn't really do their job if they weren't, fake news is more of a thing with outlets of questionable credibility, social media, aggregate sites etc where you can spam the made up story and get people either to believe it or confused.
They're not neutral but I don't think Mozilla is in any of the extremes either. It's often the more extreme sides that use fake news the most. So I'm not very worried. But when it comes to Mozillas blog post, was it just the possible motives? Because I can understand that criticism.

>They're not neutral but I don't think Mozilla is in any of the extremes either.
We're talking about Mozilla, that fired the CEO or whatever because he gave money to an anti-gay marriage group.
We're talking about Mozilla, that gave like 10k USD to RiseUp, a Revolutionary Communist group.
We're talking about Mozilla, that does "formations" and "training" only for shitskins and women, like the good Marxists they are.

They ARE extreme.
You can't get more extreme than give money to a terrorist organization, in my humble opinion.

Could you give me a rundown of the problem? I legitimally don't understand whats so bad with blogposting about fake news spread?

you know George Orwell was an avowed socialist right?

Define fake news.
Explain how you can determine if a fact check is correct.

Socialism is only bad when you dislike the person. When you like them, socialism is good.

So was Hitler.

everyone is apparently secretly a commie plotting to destroy everything

How this check should look like is independent of my question.

...mate
read a book

what

Mozilla (which is far left) is associating with other far-left groups to define what is fake news in order to filter it or something like that.

They gave money to RiseUp's particular program (some communication thing IIRC) while they at the same time they gave money to bunch of other projects from different orgs. And they are constantly giving money for this and that project, so I feel like the whole RiseUp thing is way overblown.
And firing the CEO seems like your run of the mill PR thing. You have to protect the brand and so on.
Please stop misusing the term "Marxist" or Communist, those have nothing at all to do with Mozilla, which is a goddamn corporation. Even the CEO thing was more of a corporate PR move than left-wing politics thing. And terrorist organization, what terrorist organization are you talking about.
lmao

>read a book
I read Mein Kampf, he's a socialist, he said so himself.

Cute dodge.

"Post-modern" this and "cultural Marxist/commie" that, it's the right-wing equivalent to labeling everyone as neo-nazis

He liked some parts of socialism, but his ideology drifted far enough from marxist socialism combined with elements of fascism to make a new ideology entirely. He just kept the socialist label to make it easier to appeal to the working class.

>corporations lead by fucking commies marxists can't be commie marxist corporations, since corporations do not have ideological leanings

do you need help?

North Korea is democratic then, I guess
Are the people running Mozilla really "commie marxists" though? And if they're really outright communists, why didn't you lead with that instead of RiseUp, the CEO thing and "funding a terrorist organization"?

>Are the people running Mozilla really "commie marxists" though? And if they're really outright communists, why didn't you lead with that instead of RiseUp, the CEO thing and "funding a terrorist organization"?
Because it's an opinion based on anecdotal evidence, not _everyone_ is a commie there I'm sure, but the facts that I cited are pure data, I let people make their own conclusion.

But you're trying to split hairs, you can spend 5 minutes on google and you'll see how far gone to the left they are.

I'm so at a loss by what you think Marxism is that that screenshot is meant to be proof of it.

wow look at all those Das Kapital quotes

go back to r/firefox shill cuck commie
but I believe you are genuinely this naive and retarded because I have met normies like you who don't know anything about politics but still likes to spit garbage on it

In the US that stuff is associated with left wing (since left-wing = liberal there) for sure, but "commie marxist"? Hardly
But nothing about communism in that
I think to some people liberal ideas = left-wing = communism/marxism

i need firefox for umatrix and i tried privoxy but it doesn't work and i can't fix it

>I have met normies like you who don't know anything about politics
>"Liberal ideas are commie marxism!!!"
Alright lol

>who don't know anything about politics
and yet you clearly are lacking in even an incredibly basic understanding of what Marxism is

Would you be happier if I corrected myself by saying neo-marxists, that is not about Class but about everything else, race, gender, sexuality, that kind of shit, painting everything with a oppressor/oppressed brush like an autistic that sees everything as black or white?

You can try splitting hairs if you want man, those who are educated on the matter know what I'm talking about and see the red flags. Stop shilling.

>I hope you guys made the switch to waterfox or qutebrowser
WHY would I switch from based and redpilled Opera?

>the two shills trying their hardest to discredit people and ignore to the best of their ability that Mozilla gave money to an Anarcho-Communist organization

Must be tough to live with a cognitive dissonance.

>using any kind of placebo-fox
waterfox is shit. the only reason to ever use it was the 64bit build, which is now rendered useless. except for that, waterfox consists of a bunch of tweaks you can do yourself. it is pure placebo that targets smug hipsters who think they technically above "normies"

cringe and redpilled

>waterfox is shit
How so?
It's Firefox without all the shilling/spying.
Works perfectly out of the box, not need to configure anything to remove the spyware that already spied on you the moment you installed the soft.

2 Kelvin-Bytes?

>It's Firefox without all the shilling/spying.
spyware.neocities.org/articles/waterfox.html

I don't use Firefox I think it is a very mediocre browser, you are just using words you have no clue what they mean. vague liberal feminism is not Marxism. Marxism is not about reform its about revolution. diversity is a liberal thing. how about actually doing some basic reading on political history and philosophy.
(btw if it includes capitalism; it's not ever going to be Marxism)

Someone should start an organization that fact checks fake news fact checks

>Mozilla (which is far left)
caring about the politcal orientation of the developers of a webbrowser. lol.
I know a former mozilla dev and he certainly isn't far left btw

>is associating with other far-left groups to define what is fake news in order to filter it or something like that.
I can feel your conspiracy energy user.

So ppl itt are far right and they want to shit on far left (like mozilla)?

>>"Liberal ideas are commie marxism!!!"
In this current political environment it is. They are moving rapidly towards marxist fascism like they had in Soviet union. If you are blind to see it happen around you then you are one of their subverting agent who think it's okay to ban and censor people and their thoughts because it is "offensive" or because it opposes your narrative, and if that is the case then I suggest you to hang yourself.

I know what Marxism is, it is a cancer of our society which is destroying our civilization.

Jow Forums is wrong, Jow Forums should say kB, because that's what it shows.

>hurrdurr let's ignore what is neo-marxism, let's keep thinking that if it's not straight out of the communist manifesto, it's not real marxism

Attached: 1537277285150.png (235x303, 12K)

okay? they've given money to things that contradict that ideology, so clearly they don't agree with the politics of every one they donate to. they evidently don't agree with those politics since they're organisational structure is in conflict with anarchism.
I just think people should use the actual meanings of words instead of vomiting their Jow Forums buzzwords onto their keyboard.

You tell me
>In this current political environment it is.
No it isn't. That's just political propaganda by the opponents of liberalism (in the American sense). It's the same as leftists labeling anything right of them as a nazi. And they could even use the same argument, "well in this political climate". It's bullshit, no matter which side it comes from.
>I know what Marxism is, it is a cancer of our society which is destroying our civilization.
Sure, but not everything you think of as cancer is Marxism. All cooks are drunkards but not all drunkards are cooks and so on.

yes Marxist philosophy is certainly just oppressor/oppressed. all of marxs' works are actually just "whyt Pepol baddies!!!!" over and over again.

did you even read the post?

that article is outdated as fuck an those issues has been resolved. nowdays waterfox is just a poor man's clone of an outdated browser that no one uses anymore.

it's barely been used ever, and always with different meanings. you've just made up "Neo-marxist"
