   #Snowden says: "Stallman was right." Adobe is telling its user that they have to agree to Adobe spying on their files (which they have forced their users to store on their server) whenever they wish or the Adobe software will immediately cease to run.

     @fsf My 1012 Macbook Pro jsut began restarting when I use photoshop. It quit updating most of CC a few versions back hope it's not terminal. However are there ways to actually turn off this ability? (I understand even if you turn off they can do it and not tell you btu still) And even if you store on your local rather than cloud, when you open any files I assume the app needs to scan all files in whatever drive you gave it access to.

     @fsf Not a Snowden fan buuuuuuuut we are quickly moving towards removing all #IOT devices and anything connected to the internet because #technros are ruining all tech because all it does is steal our info, track us, while they do everything to block people doing the same to them. No legislators should use any google, apple or adobe products. With #recall #microsoftrecall will steal all government secrets. You think they won’t sell that? Of course they will.

     @Hunterrules0_o @fsf "Legitimate interest" sounds so innocent. It isn't. It sounds so clear and upfront. It isn't.

     Open source isn't perfect, but when something in it is abused (exploited) action is taken by the community to inform the public and block the exploitation. Can that be said of proprietary software?

     - Governments are meant to serve its citizens and that is orthogonal to the government running proprietary malware from overseas corporations, but of course they can't themselves.
     - You cannot steal a secret - you can only make an unwanted publication of such.
     - A healthy government is one not allowed to have secrets, although sensitive information != secrets.

     Most "open source" developers don't care and rarely do anything of the sort - some of them even shill exploitation methods such as digital handcuffs developed under a "open source" development model, but delivered on hardware that doesn't allow the user to change it via cryptographic signatures - although the source code implementing the handcuffs would be (usually partially) publicly available, that won't do the users who want to make a backup, carry out fair use, or even have a video that just plays without having to need to contact some external server over the internet any good.
     
     Most of the time is it a free software developer that goes and takes any antifeatures out and releases a fixed version and not "open source" aligned ones.
