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 I do sympathize with the FSF goal but honestly, I'm really really tired of the "terroristic" way to depict everything one doesn't like.
Just point out facts, documents, links to documented events/facts if you have some unheard information and stop the mantra "they are bad we are good".
Is like politics, rather than point how bad the "others " are,why don't just say what you want to do ?
People will join if the feeling is mutual.
Terroristic campaigns really start to irritate A LOT.
Nothing better to say ?
