Well, if you not even talking about it, how are you going to get rid of it? It is not a simple one or two person task, it is much more challenging than liberating software. We have to build things which respects our privacy before we can abandon thse services. Diaspora, statusnet/identica, riseup.net all are steps in that direction. We used Unix to develop GNU/Linux in the early days. Being helpless about a situation is not the right approach, even if we are compromising, we have to know about it and think and work towards a solution. So the first step in that is to be concerned about these. And one compromise does not automatically imply you should compromise on another issue. We can't solve all the issues at once, it takes time and effort. See for example Chamba itself, we want all cultural products to be free. So should we just stop watching all the films? We know what we have currently is not the best thing, but before we could completely stop these, we need to come up with things based on our philosophy. Even Free Software movement itself took this long to reach its current stage, at any point people were using non-free software till we came up with a Free replacement. The point is, we have a lot of things to do, and we have to keep working and not lose the goals, even if it takes a long time to achieve. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- "Freedom is the only law".
