I’d add to my initial post that i think people are overreacting.
If Mozilla had a mechanism for preventing Firefox users from visiting the Dissenter website altogether, then you’d have a point to complain about.
I can just about agree with people saying there’s some hypocrisy or double standards potentially emerging with the blocking / banning of the Dissenter extension.
However, people are not prevented from using the site, so all that’s happened is that some ease of use has been reduced.
One poster referred to a knee jerk reaction by Mozilla. Comments like “…the modern world makes a dramatic left turn towards totalitarianism” exemplify this just as much. The last time i looked nationalism is on the ascendancy internationally. Certainly in Europe, parties that were fringe and low-presence are gaining ground in mainstream politics.
Just for balance, I’d recognise that the Labour Party in the UK, which has been centralist IMO for quite some time has become much more left wing internally. More importantly, they jump on anyone who dares to question their status quo and the party’s leader, who is more socialist than we’ve had for decades. I don’t object to the socialism. I object to being silenced if i have anything which is considered critical to the party line.
