Based on the post's content, I have no idea what the complaint is. Can some one provide some more context?
Guessing here: Mozilla has a location service, fed by volunteers/contributors. One way to contribute is by installing the MozStumbler app.

It seems the author contributes and is now disappointed about the inability to download the full dataset and pouts. I would be interested in the full dataset myself, fail to see the why Mozilla guys are evil if they don't provide me the information about wifi names around the world.

I think the author is complaining about the opposite: Mozilla is now making available GPS coordinates from volunteer's contributions, which could be used to determine where a volunteer lives.
Reading it again and again I can see how you got that impression. It doesn't mix well with

> Data actually useful for non-evil purposes, like cell numbers and wifi APs are still not available for download.

but the bits around it .. might work either way (non-native speaker here, but so is the author it seems).

One way or another, the post has a crappy title and doesn't explain itself well enough.

Pretty confused about this whole sensationalized title, but even more by the fact that it's 2014 and Livejournal is still around.
My website logs?

You know what this reminds me of? "Only use standard encryption (because NSA has backdoors)."

Put all code under government control, so we can keep an eye on programmer skills.

Cambodia killed intellectuals.

Mensa has a list of intellectuals.

Source control on one person projects?

Let me tell you, the workers union of programmers is trying to fuck-up programming. Microsoft is fucking up programmers. The whole industry is not your friend -- it is sabotage to make you unproductive.

The insanity of the industry is laughable. Fucken jedi-mind-tricked hoards of retards, eager to drink the koolaid.

I do string find-and-replace operations on all my code constantly.

The CIA and Microsoft really wants future generations to learn HTML, not BASIC like the C64 AppleII generation. They will conviscate all compilers. They will ban programming.

The CIA wants all people to be stupid and not threatening. What's it worth at that point -- a world of stupid people.

If I comment on his blog, will he give me access to download his blog database?
