It's not her actions, it's her past workplaces. AirBnB in particular is concerning. It's not exactly a secret that thanks to AirBnBs business model, and the lack of regulation of it, that the housing markets in several countries have gotten fucked completely. Something she chose to work with and directly support.

I somehow rank the right to have a place to live slightly above the right to have open access to the internet (though not by much), and as such I wouldn't want anyone with her affiliations in any such senior position at Mozilla, temporary or no.

I 100% agree with your stance on AirBnB.

I just don't see how that would make someone ineffective as an interim CEO for a web browser company

Shit, I have history working for McDonald's, HP, and IBM. All companies that have also done a litany of questionable shit. Does it make me bad? Am I not pure enough for Mozilla either?

Ah, zoomer purity tests.
