We are here together because of free software, that is where we can agree upon that we like it, promote it, it is useful, helps people, preserves users freedom and control of their data. Yes, there can be attacks on GNU, FSF, RMS, free software -- this has been taking on and on for long time, starting with Microsoft, UNIX trademarks, proprietary software companies not respecting GPL, and there are many serious, highly interested corporations that wish to see both FSF and GNU and RMS and decline of free software. There are interests to legally break private encryption, to open up backdoors in encryption. One word of RMS spoken in public is more worth thant 10000 people speaking in public related to encryption safety! Those large corporations such as Bill Gates corporation have vested interest in proprietary software! Look just at vaccines, it is multi-billion dollar business run by Bill Gates -- vaccines are proprietary and there may be intention to even implant chips into human bodies. If we fight now for freedom for users to control their data, we are fighting for control of human society in future. If RMS/FSF/GNU/Free Software go down now, we are defeated and we let those corporations control every single citizen on this planet.
