As long as the code behind "smart" home devices is proprietary, these companies are free to spy on us as much as they like. Help us fight back: tell your friends about free software and urge then to join the FSF! Support #FreeSoftware. fsf.org

@fsf Most importantly: Refuse to buy, use or even tolerate #Govware #appliances in your homes and communities!

Because these tools are being used to support the #SurveillanceState and #SurveillanceCapitalism!

Take #ring "smart doorbells" for example, where #Amazon as parent company literally provided raw footage with neither consent nor warrant to police agencies, which is a clear violation of #GDPR & #BDSG and makes them illegal in #Germany.
