- iLemming 10y agoAuthor also worked at Facebook. According to your logic it would be awful if North Korean journalists would talk about freedom of speech.
- smonff 10y agoFor a Facebook employee, there is many other ways to speak about Emacs than on a closed platform. In North Korea, I am not sure they have many alternative if they want to chat about freedom of speech. Though, I appreciate that you compare Facebook to North Korea.
- jakebasile 10y agoFreedom also means using whatever method you choose to talk about what you choose.
- smonff 10y agoSure, but Emacs didn't became Emacs without it's specific freedom ideology. Sorry, but I find it weird to forget about it.
