"When you’re on #
socialmedia, use a digital home assistant or chat over a #
messaging app, store files on the #
cloud, enter a #
search term in a browser or visit a #
website,
you’re being tracked – by a market that uses your phone or laptop, operating system and applications to collect as much information about you as possible. Your exploited information is later
sold between various companies, and the choice of withholding it is not in your control. At Purism, we provide an alternative so you aren’t forced to give your information to corporations who profit from it."

This goes a long way to encouraging a greater uptake of #
LibreSoftware & will maintain user interoperability outside of the proprietary norm. Certainly this is a good step towards solving the #

4opens initiative, way back when & sadly still very applicable today.
