As much I dislike Stallman's outreach "strategies" and general public efforts, I'll freely admit he's been right a LOT. The problem is that no one will listen to him because he's an ass about it. I imagine he thinks himself a modern day Cassandra...

Even if he is right a lot (not a point I'm conceding by any stretch), why pick such an asinine thing as "11% market share means we should treat this market as a regulated utility?" It's an extremely fringe belief, which is saying something given the source.

I think Stallman has been having a relevant point here[1], worth to mention, a philosophical one if you will, which is the question: should technology keep progressing as fast as possible because is convenient no matter what’s price ?

That’s the background discussion where I think Stallman has a point, I heard this from him years ago regarding Facebook and privacy, and that was before all the scandals.
