Deep background

Why decentralized, free software helps address threats like this

  • Harder to hide backdoors in locally run free software
  • Centralized data storage and hosted software make it much easier for parties to monitor large quantities of data at once

Action items

  • Donate to support free software projects working in this area
  • Donate to support organizations working in this area
  • Switch to using these applications yourself

Messaging

Some sites, like fsf.org, would like to carry a small banner across the top that succinctly explains the importance of free software in this area and encourages people to donate and take action. But we have to be careful not to oversell free software as the 100% solution to the problem. How can we be accurate and yet concise?
