   Using Open Source or Free Software is using a tool that comes with an ethical or political bent.

   Using commercial software is also doing the same except that since what you are supporting is capitalism, it's like a fish that doesn't understand the concept of being in water. We don't even notice it.

     The New York Times comes out against encrypted apps like Signal using the classic arguments of terrorism and CSAM but puts their unique anti-tech spin on it by arguing

     "Small groups of technologists are developing and deploying applications of their technologies for explicitly ideological reasons, with those ideologies baked into the technologies. To use those technologies is to use a tool that comes with an ethical or political bent."

     This has always been the case.
