Issues related to a free digital society:

Surveillance

("The first rule of censorship is that you don't talk about censorship." - Richard Stallman, Stanford University, 30 April 2010)

File formats

Proprietary software

Copyright - industrial regulation on publishers

Four freedoms users need for free digital society:

1 Freedom zero is the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose. 2 Freedom one is the freedom to study the source code of the program and change it to do what you wish. 3 Freedom two is the freedom to help your neighbour. That's the freedom to make copies and distribute them to others, when you wish. 4 Freedom three is the freedom to help your community. That's the freedom to distribute or publish modified versions, when you wish.
