Support #UserFreedom!

To truly have the right to collaborate, repair, and live more sustainably, we need freedom for computer users. A world with free software would have better privacy, protection from bulk surveillance, and would avoid user lock-in.

With your support, we can continue helping people find their reasons and motivation to live more freely. Donate today and help us achieve our spring goal of $67,000 by July 8.

It's certainly easier to implement bad security and make it illegal for anyone to notice than it is to implement good security.
