The data privacy company Onerep.com bills itself as a Virginia-based service for helping people remove their personal information from almost 200 people-search websites. However, an investigation into the history of onerep.com finds this company is operating out of Belarus and Cyprus, and that its founder has launched dozens of people-search services over the years.

    if what’s said in this article is true then Mozilla’s currently in one of two situations:

    1. Mozilla is knowingly partnering with an unreputable company (Onerep).

    or

    1. An insufficient background check was performed before partnering with Onerep.

    either way it might be prudent to not use Mozilla Monitor until further information/details are disclosed.

    • I’d also suggest using Librewolf as an alternative just in case

    also for anyone in the EU you might have some actions for recourse using GDPR if necessary.
