As our lives become increasingly mediated by technology, the question of who controls technology becomes another way of asking "Who controls us?" As computers play an increasingly important role in the way we communicate, the people who control the software that runs on computers play an increasingly important role in determining what we can say, how we can say it, who we can say it to, and when we can say it. Control over technology is power. The Free Software Foundation continues to play a central and critical role in this struggle. Read my appeal online now at: http://www.fsf.org/appeal And join me by becoming a financial supporter of this great organization, today. http://www.fsf.org/jm Thanks, Benjamin Mako Hill |
