It's strange, in projects like these I always see curated lists of non-free software being used for nefarious purposes, and free software that benefits their users.

But surely there's free software javascript that can collect keystrokes and fingerprint you, and other generally bad things as equally well as closed software.

Is the FSF be ok with people (companies, really) using free software spying technologies instead of closed source ones? Are the examples picked specifically to sway more people into the project?
