Mozilla was originally founded as an open-source technology project in 1998. ⁶ The Mozilla Foundation was officially established in July 2003 and consists of two wholly owned for-profit subsidiaries, the Mozilla Corporation and MZLA Technologies Corporation. ¹¹ In 2004, the Mozilla Foundation was given tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). ¹²

Mark Surman is the executive director ¹⁴ and president of the Mozilla Foundation. ¹⁵ ¹⁶ In a webinar hosted by left-leaning philanthropic consulting company Arabella Advisors, Surman said that Mozilla affirms that working from a left-wing intersectional perspective that includes critical race theory-influenced concepts such as racial justice and environmental justice is important to shape future technological developments. He also identified working with labor interests as an important use-case for technology in the future. ¹⁷

The report addresses the legally undefined terms of misinformation and disinformation in its “safety and security” section and call for the regulation and enforcement of artificial intelligence systems and regulations. ²⁵
