> Social media is how a lot of political activism happens, for better and for worse. But as far as I'm aware the FSF does not have a presence here. Indeed. People in the inner circle around RMS do not use social media. They are either genuinely uninterested, or for the political reason does not want to use anything that includes non-free JavaScript or other non-free technologies, where non-free is defined by the GNU project, i.e. the GPL compatible license. > Now, let's contrast that to right-to-repair. Because that is something that people can immediately "feel". I believe people should become more aware that free software, or at least, open source software, is important for democracy and freedom. How can you ever have freedom if whomever wish can spy on you and control what you say? Can you have free elections if your vote is manipulated? How can you ever be sure if machines run closed source software only very few chosen ones have access to? How can you ever know what happens in the world and make informed decisions if there is no free information. Can we trust any information and software if it runs closed source binary blobs? I believe that the only way to solve this is to make laws that demand open source software to be used in software of public importance.
