Have you decided to abandon net neutrality?
Business News is reporting that "Mozilla said it was “investing in people, programs and projects” in a new initiative to “disrupt misinformation online” calling for a “Mozilla Information Trust Initiative,” or MITI for short"
This is awful news for net neutrality and I want to confirm it with you.

All I did was provide a link, so please don't accuse me of supporting a dictatorship.
Anyway, this is a tech support forum, not a place to discuss policy issues. If you need a place to learn more about the subjects of the blog post and/or share your views on that project, you can use social media. For example:
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/firefox
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Firefox
- Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/

Here's a blog post about the project: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/08/08/mozilla-information-trust-initiative-building-movement-fight-misinformation-online/
Support volunteers have not been briefed on the initiative, so we don't have details to provide.
Thanks for being honest about being against net neutrality and allowing others to decide what can and cannot be seen or heard on the internet. This is the start of dictatorship controlling the minds and thought of the people by controlling the message.
I will no longer support or recommend Mozilla or its products like Firefox. I will pray for your souls that you repent before facing your God.

You are confusing two different issues:
1. Net Neutrality is a concept that ISP's cannot charge different rates or slow down different web sites. It is central to the concept of an open internet and as such Mozilla is a strong supporter of Net Neutrality. https://advocacy.mozilla.org/en-US/net-neutrality https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/07/11/defending-net-neutrality-day-action/ https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2014/05/05/protecting-net-neutrality-and-the-open-internet/ https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now
2. The "Mozilla Information Trust Initiative" is a research program that has absolutly nothing to do with net neutrality. It is run by the Mozilla Foundation, and it is simply a brain trust of very smart individuals coming together to discuss how we can make sure that everyday users know what websites and sources are trustworthy and which are not. There is no product shipping or shipped, just some folks getting together to think about what we could do in the future.
