Yo ho, to the seas we go!!

I live outside of a big city in the UK. Many times I can ONLY get 2G.

It obviously depends on where they live and/or committed the crimes. But most countries have broad laws against anything, real or fake, that depicts CSAM.

It both because as technology gets better it would be easy for offenders to claims anything they’ve been caught with is AI created.

It’s also because there’s a belief that AI generated CSAM encourages real child abuse.

I shan’t say whether it does - I tend to believe so but haven’t seen data to prove me right or wrong.

Also, at the end, I think it’s simply an ethical position.

Why a new engine, Firefox is open source?!

Fork Firefox.

But good luck funding a team to keep up with commercial companies’ pace. It needs funding.

If Mozilla made a way to donate in a way that I KNEW it would go towards the maintenance of the browser, and not another crappy thing they’re trying to be profitable, I’d donate in a second. I spend about £30/month on OSS donations and I’d happily add £5/month to Mozilla if I trusted them not to misspend it.

lol. Are you for real? You think the Firefox development team can be funded by 20% of the CEO’s salary?!

No it’s because Firefox isn’t profitable and to try to survive in its current form they have to do something.

It might be more productive to die and live on as an open source effort. I personally doubt there’s enough open source engagement to keep Firefox current and competitive but it’s of course an alternative Mozilla in its current form is unable to consider.
