What is beyond audacity?

When it became blatantly obvious, that Mozilla Foundation sold itself to "Big Advertizing" completely, they changed their splash screen to include the spin-doctoring statement:

Made for people, not for profit

But their actions speak for themselves:

• Forced addition of ever visited sites to Top Sites suggestions and making it difficult to remove
• A concerted effort to sabotage cookie blocking/removal on the API level
• Opt-out hidden telemetry

So what is the single-word term for "beyond audacity"? Correct - it is "Mozilla". I guess this makes sense: half a billion dollars of revenue do not fall from the sky all by themselves. Someone has to pay them, and as Firefox and Thunderbird are free, the only way to make money for Mozilla foundation is to get a cut from Big Ad.
