I understand your intention and don't mean to criticize, but please consider avoiding the term 'free software' when referring to businesses like Facebook and Google.

- Diederich 9y agoThe parent said: 'use free software' How does that in conflict with your FSF link?
- leggomylibro 9y agoThe parent says, 'They are happy to use free software and to be under government supervision.' In that context, 'free software' is referring to the previously-mentioned services (Google and Facebook), which do not cost money but are antithetical to the term as it is used by organizations like the FSF.
- Diederich 9y agoOk that makes sense, thanks.
