The list could be longer but that is enough.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

MITI is Fake news? The following two Mozilla websites are fake? Then I won't believe anything put out by Mozilla.

Katharina Borchert, August 8, 2017 "Today, we are announcing the Mozilla Information Trust Initiative (MITI)—a comprehensive effort to keep the Internet credible and healthy. Mozilla is developing PRODUCTS, research, and communities to battle information pollution and so-called ‘fake news’ online. And we’re seeking partners and allies to help us do so."

The only thing you maybe using that is talked about is Pocket which is a wallet you keep stuff in for later.

No where in any of the articles you provided does it say it is sticking something in Firefox nor censoring in Firefox.

As per the business articles I supplied.

If you do not like Firefox or if you want to believe in what you want to I am not going to argue with you. There are other browsers available.

Mozilla Information Trust Initiative (MITI). The key word is TRUST.

Since Mozilla is seeking ways to stop "fake" news from appearing before our eyes through using a web browser, I can only assume Mozilla will be or is censoring what we see when using FF. I am so glad Mozilla is concerned about what the slaves of the world are reading/watching/listening to. 1984 happening today.

To end this conversation, I don't TRUST Mozilla just like I don't trust Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Ag, The Sick-care Industry, etc.

I do use other browsers and compare what I see on them.

Hi soyyoya, you're coming to this information nearly a year late!

There is not a "fake news" filter in Firefox today. Who knows what will happen in the future. My reply in the following thread from last August lists good sites to monitor Firefox developments:

Thanks jscher2000 for your comment. I am not late in addressing this question. I knew about it last year, but just been busy working on too many projects.

I did want to ask the question and see what has happened in the year following the announcement that Mozilla was trying to come up with a way to prevent Firefox from displaying "fake" news.

Apparently they know how to discern truth from fake and will, at some point, only offer "true" news to Firefox users. That idea may sound good, but as of one year ago I stopped using Firefox as I don't need someone else to filter my news. I had been a Firefox user for many years.

Perhaps Mozilla should just stick to building a browser that works and stop trying to be the Internet's nanny.

Ok, that's far enough with your misleading replies if you want to badger FF forum that goes beyond the pale here. You keep spouting nonsense here if you don't like FF you can use another. Posting here only would support the usage of FF. Browser use security protocols and should those sites fail the certificate or checks then they don't get acess. That's how phishing sites gets people to give up their information. And the too busy with projects is just a more non sense-Technology was made to lesson too busy with projects.

Let's focus back on answering the question. :) The original question was "How do I disable MITI..." The answer given by jscher2000 is that there is no such filter in Firefox.

soyyoya, we'll pass on your feedback that if such a filter gets implemented, there be a way to disable it.
