This is very bad news. I don't want Facebook, or anybody else for that matter, to be able to track ads conversions.
I don't understand why Mozilla would do this. Clearly the image I have of Mozilla and the real Mozilla are very divergent. I guess I have stuff to figure out, like my next browser...

I mean, they are currently on life support by another anti-privacy competitor who is responsible for >85% of Mozilla's revenue, so for them to work with more companies against their mission statement on being 'privacy first' seems like another let down and damaging to that purpose.

"Mozilla and X are working together" is a code for Mozilla taking $$$$ to sign off on something and sell itself. Like with Google, or that time they killed Voice recognition program for $2mil from Nvidia.
These anti-privacy company will try every mean to violate privacy anyway. So your idea is to simply pretend the fact that every single website on internet has facebook/google tracker, instead of trying to set up a way that can regulate them? Personally I have never used facebook, self-host almost everything and have a master degree in privacy, but I still find the work worth considering. Negotiation is always better than nothing.
Side note but this is the first time I’ve seen reddit comments embedded in the same manner as tweets. I really like it! I’ve always thought of reddit and twitter as fulfilling very similar niches.
Unfortunately, the reddit comment was deleted which results in a weird blank spot and with regular text indicating it was deleted.
