Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense

Ok, so, TAILS doesn't ships non-free/closed-source drivers, but it has  
non-free/closed-source firmware, is that correct?
From a "freedom perspective" that's bad, but from a security one, is that  
dangerous, as in, can a firmware affect the users privacy somehow? I would  
say that a keyboard's firmware could be dangerous (maybe logging your  
keystrokes and sending it somewhere over the internet) but is it true for any  
firmware? Or is a matter simply of freedom, not so much of security?
Thanks for the explanation.
