     @fsf I use #freesoftware to protect my #privacy because control over my privacy is control over my life. I'm vehemently opposed to an economy that monetizes my existence without my consent or my participation. That, to me, is the essence of @pluralistic's #enshittification.

     @fsf I use #freesoftware to protect my #privacy because privacy is a fundamental right that should be respected and valued. Free software isn’t a guarantee of privacy, but done right it can offer you the highest level of privacy and transparency regarding the use of your data. I hope that opting for privacy respecting services could be considered the norm and not something people do only if they have something suspicious to hide.

     @fsf I use #freesoftware to protect my #privacy because privacy is a fundamental human right that is kinda violated by most modern software. Some people may be fine with that, however I am not. Furthermore free software provides the ability to do anything you want with your software and it will be truly yours! Unlike with ""subscriptions"" nowadays.
