After reading the post I don't see how it gives any indication that Mozilla is trying to censor anyone. Mostly it argues for more transparency. It's certainly worth reading.

Blocking is good option to improve individual experience, but a flood of low effort, spammy content from bots makes a very bad first impression on newcomers.

That's grossly exaggerated. I live in western Europe and never once used WhatsApp. There are very occasional frictions, like people being surprised I don't have it. Then when I explain that it's operated by Facebook, they are also surprised and sometimes are willing to quit themselves.

What's the irony? It's the Apple users that the EU is protecting here.

So Google have strong leverage over them, and the more of other revenue Mozilla have, the lesser is Google's leverage.

But the polling cited in the post shows that the vast majority of people in UK support secure communication!
