>The idea that AMO shouldn't be curated is baffling. Browser extensions are the biggest malware vector since email attachments named `importantstuff.txt.exe`.
This is a strawman, the GP did not say AMO shouldn't be curated. [Edit: added missing "n't"]
> The title saying that Mozilla "pulled" this extension is not merely incorrect, it is blatant misinformation.
Mozilla selected, manages and empowers the reviewer who made this decisions. Since organizations are not people, delegating authority like this is the only way that organizations can ever do anything. Therefor to claim that Mozilla did not do this is spurious at best.
Now, Mozilla can disown the decision by saying the reviewer did not follow the appropriate process in making the decision. If that claim is shown to be true, only then would the title possibly be incorrect or misleading. Until then, Mozilla is as culpable for the authorized actions of its agents.
