Re: [Trisquel-users] Privacy in Trisquel

[onpon4]

I get the impression that you are fearfully assuming that the free software  
in Trisquel is doing something malicious. This is a perfectly legitimate  
concern with proprietary software because you can't know what exactly it is  
doing, but you can know exactly what free software is doing.

If you act paranoid about a free system which hasn't been shown to be doing  
something malicious, people may assume that the concern is just as valid for  
both proprietary and free software, which just isn't true. But people who are  
given that impression might be stopped from using Trisquel because you make  
them think it's spying on them, when in reality you're just making unjust  
assumptions about programs you haven't investigated.
