THE British foundation called after its key product (Raspberry Pi) does not respect free speech. It does not respect software freedom, either (not anymore). We've entered this atmosphere online wherein censorship is seen as commendable and people who speak out against Microsoft abuses are painted of "Microsoft bashers". How inflammatory a label. Truly disturbing, is it not?

"The foundation cannot carry on gaslighting its very own customers eternally."In the US, we've recently seen even entire platforms with millions of people in them taken offline (collective punishment), an acting president deplatformed by Twitter, and people can be similarly muzzled for expressing views which are perfectly lawful (for example, one's position on gun ownership, which is protected by the US Constitution, however misguided or outdated it may seem because the psyche of British monarchy governing north America is hundreds of years out of date).

At the moment the Raspberry Pi Foundation shows that it disregards free speech as much as it disregards free software. We have a whole bunch of articles on this subject, having been informed by some readers and sent material of relevance. Expect many investigations to follow and hopefully bear fruit (like raspberries).

Readers who are aware of internal affairs (and the relationship with Microsoft in particular), please contact us. We need to put out there the truth... for all to see. The foundation cannot carry on gaslighting its very own customers eternally. We already saw one such foundation turned into rubble, with affairs rapidly exacerbating after taking Microsoft money. ⬆
