[Trisquel-users] Re : low priced devices which surveillance you

[lcerf]

As far as I understand rms criticizes the way the technology was designed: by  
triangulation, the phone operators can quite precisely locate its customers.   
If the code running on the modem was free, that problem would persist.

@tonless: summing up what Soon.to.be.Free explained, Debian would not know  
the mere existence of the chip it does not run on (and that would be the real  
"master" of the device).
