a further note on freedom..
There is a struggle for freedom of all kinds - from basic civil liberties to freedom of information and knowledge - Google profits on keeping certain sections of Open Source software thriving, - such as some of the various platforms that allow social networking, then they keep the rest extremely closed in a manner resonant with other totalitarian cyberspace empires, like Fakebook and Microsoft.
Some say that Stallman is an extremist, but freedom requires principles. Those principles are broken by Google all the time and more and more information and potential knowledge are controlled by over-sized corporations that increasingly are under conventional market pressures - and therefore might sell all their user behaviour data anytime that the shareholders should remain unsatisfied with the profit maximisation rates.
It is Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Pfizer et al who are the extremists - the rest of us are merely people trying to share and cooperate, but they won’t let us. It is a matter of principle!

Stallman is a Wussy Compared to Anarcho-capitalists
Stallman isn't much of an extremist by political standard despite what his reputation make him out to be.
If you want extremism, talk to IP abolitionists and anarcho-capitalists. They're the greatest advocate of freedom that I have ever known.
They'll fight against the monopolists, trade unions, trade associations such as the RIAA, MPAA, and the government all to live in a society where people can't bully one another.
That's the essence of anarcho-capitalism. It is their extreme application of the non-aggression principle that define their strong sense of justice.
Compared to an anachro-capitalist, Stallman is a wussy by their standard.
That's not to say Stallman is a wussy, but he isn't all what he cracked up to be.

Private data
Google has always taken such a cavalier attitude towards its user's private data that I now go to great trouble to eliminate all traces of it from my computers.
