Richard Stallman on Privacy Abuses

Posted in Interview at 8:29 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Richard Stallman spoke to me about privacy 8 years ago; it’s relevant now that IBM does what it did for Germany in the 1930s; “don’t give any data to those systems,” he concludes, and “we have to limit the collection of data”

    By abandoning OpenSource.com and OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice IBM sends out a clear signal that it doesn’t understand or simply does not care about the community of Free software users; its siege against the FSF and other institutions never ended and today we look at who’s being laid off or shown the door (the work environment is intentionally being made worse)

    This month’s numbers from StatCounter are good for GNU/Linux (including ChromeOS, which technically has both GNU and Linux); the firm assesses logs from 3 million sites and shows Windows down to 66% in desktops/laptops (a decade ago it was above 90%) with modest growth for GNU/Linux, which is at an all-time high, even if one does not count ChromeOS that isn’t freedom- or privacy-respecting
