Defy dystopia

In a world where technology is becoming more and more predatory, a dystopian reality seems just around the corner. It can feel like others hold the reins and dictate how we live our lives. Fear not: free software can defy dystopia because you, the user, have full control over the software vital to your daily life.

The FSF has been campaigning for your software freedom for forty years. We can't prevent a dystopian future alone - join us in our crucial work to guard user freedom and defy dystopia. Become an associate member today!
