Topic introduction

-

- There are many threats to freedom in the digital society. They - include nonfree software, massive surveillance, and censorship. -

- Nonfree proprams are often designed to restrict users, control - users or manipulate uesers. The War on Sharing aims to stop users - from sharing copies of published works. Computers for voting make - election results untrustworthy. -

- Other threats come from use of web services, implemented by - companies that can impose any conditions whatsoever. -

- Finally, most internet activities (aside from those which existed - before 2000) are precarious, dependent on permission from one company. -

- All of these threats originate more or less in the use of nonfree - software. That is why free software is the first battle in - the liberation of the digital society. -
