    How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

    “Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

      It’s better when it’s in their hands, because:

      1. It’s Mozilla - one of the more trusty organizations out there.
      2. They don’t get your information in some sneaky way from some source that was never supposed to be available to them.
      3. You know exactly how they make money from your data.

      Unless you trust Mozilla. I’m unaware of another organization that is more trustworthy, despite the haters mad that CEOs make money.

      It’s ironic yeah, but if trust is the only way to implement something like this, then Mozilla is probably the one company I would trust considering they’re a non-profit org.
