Tagged as: cloud facebook freedom moglen software surveillance technology

In a recent speech which was very much in line with discussions happening inside Indymedia London during the past two years, Eben Moglen of the Free Software Foundation and the Software Freedom Law Centre recently gave a speech deriding Facebook and Google for their dangerous, privacy-killing, corporate-owned software systems.

Moglen called for the creation of a Free Software distributed social networking infrastructure which could be owned and run from peoples' homes.

The main talk is available for download from the Software Freedom Law Centre's site.
