Mozilla's elimination of its advocacy group -- which worked for the open web against the monopolists and cartels -- is a terrible move, but not totally surprising. I speculate that Google has informed Mozilla that its massive financial subsidy will be dropping or ending.

Almost every mass layoff in tech and finance in last two years is associated with big investment by fossil fuel interests, especially from Saudi Arabia.
The primary excuse is "we're going in a different direction." AI. Cryptocurrency. Blockchain.
All these "innovations" are deeply anti-democracy & linked to opposition to climate action.
