WhatsApp and the domestication of users
seirdy.one
As Seirdy notes:
It just keeps getting more relevant. WhatsApp, GitHub, Twitter, Reddit…each disaster worse than the last. The companies in charge know that the users will just take it after having their autonomy taken first.

I didn't get the part on Firefox too much: isn't pocket just a way to serve (non user tailored) ads? As long as they don't sell your data and its not invasive it should be fine...they have to sustain themselves is some way
I can't speak for the author, but I have some feelings about the matter. Baking a proprietary service into an open source browser, and of course requiring accounts. Then the FF accounts merging with the Pocket accounts. I really wasn't pleased.
Wait, do you mean that your ff account share data with pocket, whether you ever signed into it or not?
Oh I have no idea about that, but isn't it the same account now? Because I remember receiving emails about accounts being merged. I don't use Pocket or FF anymore so I am probably out of the loop.
And you can easily disable pocket.
