Knowledge leads to more knowledge. It might lead to servitude if the wrong
parties gain access to the wrong knowledge. Knowledge without a moral or
ethical code to guide it is just data.
Self-important and self-appointed meddlers keeping their noses out of other
people's consensual transactions leads to greater freedom, among other
things.
When Apple sells something at the iTunes store, they tell you up front
that it has DRM. Walmart doesn't label their music or movies to tell you
that there are significant parts missing from the products. You don't
know until the package is open and not returnable.
You can't have consensual transactions leading to any kind of freedom
when the vendor is hiding important information from the buyers. That's
called fraud. Buyers need to know that the products are as advertised or
labeled.
What's this nonsense about servitude and morality?
