= Computers in the post-Snowden era: choose before paying! =
[Online lesen: http://fsfe.org/news/2014/news-20140324-01.de.html]
The revelations from Edward Snowden concerning massive surveillance of
communications demonstrates the need for each person to be able to
control their computers and phones. Yet computer and telephone
manufacturers and retailers typicall impose on users programs that
jeopardise their privacy.
Each person should therefore have the opportunity to refuse to pay for
non-Free software, and be allowed to choose the programs that run on
their telephone and computer.
Today, the Free Software Foundation joins other organisations throughout
the world[1] in requesting an unfettered choice of the operating system
on telephones, laptops and other computing devices.
