Re: Freedom.
We seem to be talking about different freedoms:
If you are an anti-state actor (doughty freedom-fighter or terrorist subversive - only those who write the history will be able to report the difference) then yes, you need to worry about your state interfering with your computers (pocket or any other sort). You also need to worry about many other things.
Most of us are not anti-state actors. But it seems many have given what appears to be un-informed consent to the trans-nationals to control what's on their computers.
More people in the UK access Facebook every month than voted in the 2015 general election.
Yes, worry about freedom. Worry about the influence of the trans-nationals.
