The Mozilla Foundation is cutting 30 percent of its staff and jettisoning the divisions that run its public-interest advocacy campaigns and global programs. The foundation, which is the nonprofit arm of the corporation that develops the open-access Mozilla web browser, champions a free and inclusive internet. The foundation’s executive director told staff the closures will help the organization sharpen its focus, although a spokesperson said that “advocacy is still a central tenet of Mozilla Foundation’s work and will be embedded in all the other functional areas.” (TechCrunch)
The former leader of a nonprofit that urges Christians to vote faces eight counts of possessing child pornography. Investigators say Jason Yates, former CEO of My Faith Votes, had a hard drive with photos and videos of child pornography, which was found by a relative and eventually handed over to police. Court documents say Yates told investigators he had a previous conviction related to child pornography that had been expunged. In a July op-ed, he railed against “sexually deviant” messages, particularly concerning LGBTQ people, aimed at children. Yates’s attorney declined to comment. (Religion News Service)
