After reading the article below, I feel that Open Source is essential to
maintaining personal privacy in the world that awaits us in the future. OS
is a check and a balance against the power wielded by large coalitions of
companies that offer platforms, conduits, and content and are hungry for free
demographic - no, personal - information.
My new rule: If it doesn't work with OS tools then my privacy is at greater
risk.
