Abstract: | De nombreuses menaces pèsent sur la liberté dans la société numérique. Il s'agit notamment des logiciels non libres, de la surveillance massive et de la censure. Aussi, les programmes non libres sont souvent conçus pour restreindre les utilisateurs, les contrôler ou les manipuler. La Guerre du Partage vise à empêcher les utilisateurs de partager des copies de oeuvres publiés. Les ordinateurs pour le vote rendent les résultats des élections non fiables. D'autres menaces proviennent de l'utilisation de services web, mis en œuvre par des entreprises qui peuvent imposer n'importe quelles conditions. Enfin, la plupart des activités sur internet (hormis celles qui existaient avant 2000) sont précaires, dépendantes de l'autorisation d'une entreprise. Toutes ces menaces trouvent plus ou moins leur origine dans l'utilisation de logiciels non libres. C'est pourquoi le logiciel libre est la première bataille pour la libération de la société numérique. |

There are many threats to freedom in the digital society. They include nonfree software, massive surveillance, and censorship.
Nonfree proprams are often designed to restrict users, control users or manipulate uesers. The War on Sharing aims to stop users from sharing copies of published works. Computers for voting make election results untrustworthy.
Other threats come from use of web services, implemented by companies that can impose any conditions whatsoever.
Finally, most internet activities (aside from those which existed before 2000) are precarious, dependent on permission from one company.
All of these threats originate more or less in the use of nonfree software. That is why free software is the first battle in the liberation of the digital society.
Everyone welcome.

Richard Stallman è un programmatore statunitense, visionario fondatore del Movimento del Software Libero. Nel 1983 diede avvio al Progetto GNU con l'intento di sviluppare un sistema operativo completamente libero, che potesse essere usato da chiunque senza restrizioni, secondo uno spirito di condivisione e di rispetto altrui. Quel sistema operativo è oggi GNU/Linux, utilizzato da decine di milioni di persone in tutto il mondo, nonché da agenzie governative come la NASA e siti di pubblica utilità come Wikipedia.
Everyone welcome.
