Read the Pocket and Mozilla FakeSpot privacy policies. They collect a lot if data, including browsing history, and do so via Google Analytics. They then share that data with advertisers.

Taking other people's creative works to create your own for-profit product is illegal in every way except when AI does it.

No, actually its completely legal to consume content that was uploaded to the internet and then use it as inspiration to create your own works.

Because Mozilla takes a metric shitload of your data via fakespot such as (but not limited to)

Internet or other electronic network activity (e.g., browsing history, search history, information regarding an individual's interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement, and online viewing activities)

And then sells it to advertisers

apt remove firefox (or via pacman, windows settings etc)

Otherwise should be a bunch of flags you can set in about:config

Category of Third Parties to Whom Personal Information is Sold and/or Shared: Advertising partners, Service providers

Just a snippet of the privacy policy. There's other bad stuff too like location tracking. It's also all ran through Google analytics.

So much for a privacy respecting Mozilla

Same reason why they serve Lemmy instances despite illegal content on Lemmy: section 230 of the DMCA

Anything on the signal protocol could have an infected cilent be delivered, or backdoor server side by providing the wrong keys.

Facebook might comply. Would guess that Signal would refuse and would be hit by some absurd fee like 100mil a day for not complying and be forced to pull their services out of the UK.

... and they're tracking your searches, collecting massive amounts of telemetry, and using pocket that collects and sells your data.
