software freedom is political?
reminds of an old uk voter registration advert, that pointed out, if you dont do politics, you dont do much, illustrating how politics are deeply and persistently entwined in everything in our lives.
freedom is political. head to the bottom of the political compass for freedom. Free Software, is the FIRST step in liberating cyberspace. Free As In Freedom. keep the FAIF. :D
everything we do is a political act.
not adding corporatist trojan horses by default nor leaving them laying around for the unwitting or unprincipled to stumble into, is wise, perhaps even essential, for freedom.
we should all be so principled and politically aware, and outspoken for freedom, and walking our walk. ... or at least so aspiring.

"companies", no, technologies, that the user has control over. someone show that lady, and her audience, richard stallman's ted talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM
n_n was my reflexive reaction.

either the software controls the user or the user controls the software. and if the software controls the user, who controls the software, ... "the companies".
... in the inevitable consolitating effect [(of capitalism, [(in which (worth pointing out) the capita of that is people, and it's treating people as resources, just like slavery, but more steps, more dynamic for the slavers and less duty and burden for the slavers, putting more burden on the slaves)])], that's monopoly, plutarchy, corporatism, fascism. #OBEY #TheCorporation. no. fuck off, fascist.
can free, can emancipate, can liberate, can escape the ilegitimate hierarchies void of merit and full of harm, to instead naturally flourish in creative free abundance.

and remember, dont trade #freedom for #security, or you get #neither, when you could have #both. especially dont trade them for #convenience, getting #deskilling and deepening #dependence on abuser who can control you under duress of threats of taking away essential support. (... speaking from experience, a very real warning.).
