Hi, this post was originally published in the spanish forum by trinux. I just
wanted to share it with you for more people to know about it:
Hi everyone
The guys from Purism had started a petition for Intel to release a CPU
without Intel Management Engine.
In 2014 the FSF protested this technology:

In Libreboot's FAQ you can read about the inconvenience of this CPU:
https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelme
In summary, the Intel Management Engine and its applications are a backdoor
with total access to and control over the rest of the PC. The ME is a threat
to freedom, security, and privacy.
Even though Purism has been criticized over the years, I think is worth it to
support this petition. It's been years since Intel started to shift towards
evil privative software. ¡Let's all sign and share the campaign!
