Mozilla previously told us
> we have created a set of principles that we will always follow when shipping a SHIELD study to our users, and two principles are most relevant to this situation.

What question did this hot fix answer? None. So what’s the point in the policy and promise if they’re doing to disregard it. It was supposed to be there to stop what went wrong last time. It’s like they disabled a safety put in after the last bad accident.
