   #Snowden says: "Stallman was right." Adobe is telling its user that they have to agree to Adobe spying on their files (which they have forced their users to store on their server) whenever they wish or the Adobe software will immediately cease to run.

     @fsf My 1012 Macbook Pro jsut began restarting when I use photoshop. It quit updating most of CC a few versions back hope it's not terminal. However are there ways to actually turn off this ability? (I understand even if you turn off they can do it and not tell you btu still) And even if you store on your local rather than cloud, when you open any files I assume the app needs to scan all files in whatever drive you gave it access to.

     @fsf Not a Snowden fan buuuuuuuut we are quickly moving towards removing all #IOT devices and anything connected to the internet because #technros are ruining all tech because all it does is steal our info, track us, while they do everything to block people doing the same to them. No legislators should use any google, apple or adobe products. With #recall #microsoftrecall will steal all government secrets. You think they won’t sell that? Of course they will.

     @Hunterrules0_o @fsf "Legitimate interest" sounds so innocent. It isn't. It sounds so clear and upfront. It isn't.

     Open source isn't perfect, but when something in it is abused (exploited) action is taken by the community to inform the public and block the exploitation. Can that be said of proprietary software?
