Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel free, but based on Ubutu ??

That "PRISM Break" page has has this dumb idea flow in that being based on  
Ubuntu makes a distro "dangerous" because Canonical "can't be trusted". This  
is nonsense; if a program is free, you can study the source code and find out  
if it is malicious or not. Flash Player, included in Linux Mint Debian  
Edition, which is suggested by this "PRISM Break" website, is far more  
dangerous than a distro that's based on a distro that is developed by nasty  
people, with the nonfree bits removed; since Adobe Flash Player is  
proprietary, you can't know what the code does, so it's very possible that it  
has malicious features, including spyware that might include NSA  
surveillance. You can't know, so you shouldn't trust it.
