A lot of companies say they’re “mission-driven.” Our unique corporate structure guarantees that every decision we make upholds our mission: to ensure the internet remains open and accessible. Beholden to neither shareholders nor investors, Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation. Along with our communities of 20,000+ contributors and collaborators, Mozilla Corporation’s staff designs, builds, and distributes software that allows people to enjoy the internet on their own terms. Our flagship product — the Firefox browser — has expanded into a family of products that protects users and alerts them of risks, safeguards passwords and provides a secure VPN (with more to come). By maintaining a safe, open internet we're helping humanity, while also helping the individual humans employed here to reach their personal and professional goals. With a relatively small team serving hundreds of millions of people, a culture of exploration, and a commitment to mentorship, opportunities abound to learn and grow at Mozilla.

Mozilla's Technology Fund is seeking people and projects who are using open-source tools to audit AI systems, and will be awarding up to $50,000 each to those doing so. 🙌 🎉 While AI systems are increasingly being used in ways that impact people's health, employment status and finances, there are few tools in place to ensure these systems are held accountable. That's where you come in! Applicants and projects should help AI systems better serve the interests of people, especially those disproportionately negatively impacted by algorithmic systems. Sound like something you or someone you know has been working on? We'd love to see your work 🤓 Applications are open until October 5th 🎉 🏃 https://mzl.la/3cWYEFF

We reviewed 20 popular reproductive health tracking apps and found that 18 do not have adequate privacy policies or safety measures in place to protect their users’ most precious data ‼️ 👀 What does that mean for the folks using these apps in a post #RoevWade world? Well, companies including The Bump, Flo and Glow could potentially share users’ information with law enforcement and the government. Not good ❌ Learn more about how your most sensitive information is being used, and possibly taken advantage of. #privacynotincluded https://mzl.la/3PDCV3a
