TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

It's funny seeing the sudden surge of "copyright is awesome!" On the Internet now that it's become a useful talking point to bludgeon the hated Abominable Intelligence with. Have any actual court cases established that Gemini is violating copyright, BTW? The major cases I've seen so far have been coming down on the "training AI is fair use" side of things, any copyright issues have largely been ancillary to that.

Why is this being downvoted so heavily?

Probably because their angle is to find opportunities to push an AI positive agenda whether copyright is involved or not.

I don’t see anything there that indicates an AI positive agenda. What am I missing?

Go take a look at their comments on their profile. Lot of AI talk there. I’m guessing people aren’t pro copyright, but its their argument in conjunction with AI that has led to the downvotes.
