They were considering blocking Google from paying Mozilla to be the default search engine, which is almost all of Firefox 's revenue.

It kinda makes sense, chome being the dominant browser gives Google a search advantage, and the other alternatives (like safari and Firefox) both make deals with Google to have it be the default as well.

But removing those deals would be more disastrous for Firefox than for Google.

We avoided the worst outcome, they were considering killing Firefox to prevent a Google internet monopoly.

Yeah, I was recently reading about how a companies went from getting a couple hundred resumes a quarter to 1000s of resumes a month. They’re either using AI to try to process them, or ignoring resumes completely to use recruiter services.

From what I’ve gathered, MediaLab bought imgur years ago. A couple weeks ago MediaLab fired most of people behind imgur, because MediaLab is an AI-first company.

Since then, Imgur has recently started to have lots of outages/glitches/etc. Imgur has also started purging nsfw and political content.

The combination of the firing, problems, and content purge have upset the user base. I’m not sure what Oliver has to do with it.

DMCA abuse is far too common. With this being clear abuse, and somewhat high profile, I wonder if there’s any chance of this bringing some real attention to it.
