    Aza Raskin was not a Google/Twitter engineer; he is known for Mozilla (Firefox) and co-founding the Center for Humane Technology

    Before

    Former Google and Twitter engineer Aza Raskin, who unverified infinite scroll, stated in a 2018 interview that he later regretted the design.

    After

    Aza Raskin, best known for his work at Mozilla and as co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, who unverified infinite scroll, stated in a 2018 interview that he later regretted the design. Verified body text (only one mention) is already correctly fixed; bibliography contains no citation for this quote (it's an attributed quote, not a reference-list entry); and the FAQ contains no mention of Raskin.

    Why: Already correct everywhere: the body text correctly attributes Aza Raskin to Mozilla and the Center for Humane Technology rather than Google/Twitter, with no stray mentions elsewhere. No changes were required.
