Mozilla Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) blasted Venmo for its privacy policies. The companies specifically pointed out the lack of privacy around Venmo transactions, which are public by default, and around public lists of users friends that they can interact with on the app, for which there is not even an option to hide. Mozilla delivered a petition by more than 25,000 Americans to the app s New York headquarters, urging them to make the app private by default. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
