Imagine a world where surveillance is the default and users must opt-in to
|
|
|
|
|
privacy. Imagine that your every action is logged and analyzed to learn how
|
|
|
|
|
you behave, what your interests are, and what you might do next. Imagine
|
|
|
|
|
that, even on your fully free operating system, proprietary software is
|
|
|
|
|
automatically downloaded and run not only without your consent, but often
|
|
|
|
|
without your knowledge. In this world, even free software cannot be easily
|
|
|
|
|
modified, shared, or replaced. In many cases, you might not even be in
|
|
|
|
|
control of your own computing---your actions and your data might be in
|
|
|
|
|
control by a remote entity, and only they decide what you are and are not
|
|
|
|
|
allowed to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This may sound dystopian, but this is the world you're living in right
|
|
|
|
|
now. The Web today is an increasingly hostile, freedom-denying place that
|
|
|
|
|
propagates to nearly every aspect of the average users' lives---from their
|
|
|
|
|
PCs to their phones, to their TVs and beyond. But before we can stand up
|
|
|
|
|
and demand back our freedoms, we must understand what we're being robbed of,
|
|
|
|
|
how it's being done, and what can (or can't) be done to stop it.
