Monitor Plus, Mozilla’s premium data broker scan and removal service, officially shut down on December 17.
Mozilla had partnered with OneRep, a data removal company with ties to data collection services, and had been told about the firm’s behavior in early 2024.
Up until this point, Mozilla was dragging its feet:

Ten more months, and Mozilla is no longer looking for a partner, choosing to shutter the program.
