At this point my trust in Mozilla is so low that I could almost believe they intent to run the text I download and upload through an LLM nanny that can scold or ban me if anything offends its Californian sensibilities.

“Californian”??...
Call it what you like, "San Francisco techy", ""woke"" if you like trendy pejoratives, whatever. I don't care what you want to call it but I won't play along if you intend to say that regional value system is actually uniformly embraced across this country, let alone across the same globe Firefox users are spread across.
In the social sphere Mozilla resides in, voting for a socially conservative political party makes you a fascist which puts you at odds with Mozilla's acceptable use policy if you talk about your politics using Firefox. If Firefox users are supposed to be bound by that document, as judged by Mozilla, that's a problem.
Not everything in the world is about political party your circle disagrees with. Given trends I'm sure Firefox will do something stupid like you're afraid of in short order. But this isnt that, so until then you should save your manufactured culture war fear mongering.
sigh, I feel bad for you... and us Californian techys... this us vs them toxicity is so demoralizing
