Posted to 'privacy' community: "Put your first and last name on this petition!"

I expect if there are too many fake names it would be used against them too. I think not signing at all is overall less detrimental my own privacy. However if there's evidence/reasoning otherwise please share!

Edit: I ended up signing with my real name, I don't see employers or anyone holding that petition against me if they find out I signed this by searching my name.

Unfortunately, this is gonna happen and worse. We lost the fight for the internet in 2006, and we're watching it die. No joke, I started using yandex browser and search since Google ruined theirs, and it is close to perfect. Waterfox is my backup.

Why the focus on Firefox? Why not just say “browsers”?
