It is always good to remind yourself that the worlds largest spy company, Google, uses Free software to run much of it.

- yura 3y agoYour point being? I don't see how it's relevant that Google uses free software. RMS is probably happy that they do. Of course, they should stop spying on people, but I don't see how that's related to their use of free software.
- tored 3y agoCommon argument from Free software advocates is that violation of user's rights is a consequence of proprietary software. With Google you can even make an argument that they can violate more user's rights because of Free software. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Free software per see, the topic is just more complex than what is presented.
