People. This is talking about the CEO for Onerep, not the CEO for Mozilla.

A good example that average reading comprehension is terrible.

This isn't a reading comprehension issue.

English is weird. Technically the second "its" refers to [Mozilla's] privacy partner but just... wow.

I think they are taking advantage of the fact that Mozilla just changed CEOs; folks will be skeptical, and that is worth a few clicks. Even the beginning of the article is more ambiguous than it needs to be. These organizations (not Mozilla) exist solely to get attention, and should not be given the benefit of the doubt here.

Context is an aspect of reading comprehension.

Articles and headlines do not exist in a vacuum. 'Context' is not even remotely straightforward.

Yeah. I didn't say it was easy. I implied it's a skill that you should have been taught.
