Its focus is gently guide users into GNU/Linux, while at the same time encourage them to not rest content with nonfree software. We want to help them stay both motivated and determined in their gradual process to eliminate nonfree software from their lives.</p> <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a id="ftr">Fight to Repair</a></h2> <p><img src="//static.fsf.org/nosvn/logos/ftr.jpg" width="250" style="float:left;padding-right:30px" alt="Fight to Repair" />As the world becomes more software-driven, an individual's right to repair both the hardware and software components of the devices they rely on becomes crucial. <a href="https://fsf.org/campaigns/fight-to-repair">Fight to Repair</a> is our campaign to support right to repair initiatives around the world, and warn against the day-to-day use of proprietary software in hardware as diverse as self-driving cars, printer cartridges, and "smart" home assistants.</p> <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a id="freejs">Free JavaScript</a></h2> <p> <img src="//static.fsf.org/nosvn/logos/freejs.png" width="250" alt="FreeJS" style="float:left;padding-right:30px" /> The <a href="https://fsf.org/campaigns/freejs">Free JavaScript campaign</a> is an ongoing effort to persuade organizations to make their Web sites work without requiring that users run any nonfree software. By convincing influential sites to make the transition, we raise awareness of the need for free software-friendly Web sites and influence the owners of other sites to follow.</p> <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a href="/campaigns/priority.html" id="hpp">High Priority Free Software Projects</a></h2> <a href="/campaigns/priority.html"><img src="//static.fsf.org/nosvn/hpp-logo.png" class="imgleft" alt="FSF High Priority Logo" /></a><p>The FSF's <a href="/campaigns/priority.html">High Priority Projects list</a> and <a href="https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Hardware/ReverseEngineering">Reverse Engineering Task List</a> serve to foster the development of projects that are important for increasing the adoption and use of free software and free software operating systems. Some of the most important projects on our list are "replacement projects". These projects are important because they address areas where users are continually seduced into using nonfree software by the lack of an adequate free replacement. These are critical projects that <a href="/campaigns/priority.html">need your help</a>. <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a id="secureboot">Secure Boot vs Restricted Boot</a></h2> <p><img src="//static.fsf.org/nosvn/images/restricted-boots.jpg" width="250" alt="Secure Boot vs Restricted Boot" style="float:left; padding-right:30px" /> When done correctly, "Secure Boot" is designed to protect against malware by preventing computers from loading unauthorized binary programs when booting. In practice, this means that computers implementing it won't boot unauthorized operating systems -- including initially authorized systems that have been modified without being re-approved.</p> <p>This could be a feature deserving of the name, as long as the <em>user</em> is able to authorize the programs she wants to use, so she can run free software written and modified by herself or people she trusts. However, we are concerned that Microsoft and hardware manufacturers will implement these boot restrictions in a way that will prevent users from booting anything other than Windows. In this case, we are better off calling the technology Restricted Boot, since such a requirement would be a disastrous restriction on computer users and not a security feature at all.</p> <ul> <li>Learn more about <a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot">Secure Boot vs Restricted Boot</a>.</li> <li>Join over 30,000 others and sign the statement, <a href="/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement/"><em>Stand up for your freedom to install free software</em></a></li> <li>Read our white paper to find out about our <a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/whitepaper-web">recommendations for free operating system distributions considering Secure Boot</a> (<a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/whitepaper.pdf">PDF</a>)</li> <li>See the <a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/news/fsf-announces-winner-of-restricted-boot-webcomic-contest"> winning entry</a> of our webcomic contest.</li></ul> <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a id="surveillance">Surveillance</a></h2> <a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/surveillance"><img src="//static.fsf.org/nosvn/logos/surveillance.png" alt="Surveillance" width="250" style="float:left;padding-right:30px" /></a> <p>If we want to defang surveillance programs like PRISM, we need to stop using centralized systems and come together to build an Internet that's decentralized, trustworthy, and free "as in freedom."

Neither Windows users nor independent experts can view the system's source code, make modifications or fixes, or copy the system. This puts Microsoft in a dominant position over its customers, which it takes advantage of to treat them as a product.</p> <p>Windows comes with plenty of "features" Microsoft won't tell you about. Because Windows is proprietary software, you can't modify Windows or see how it is built, which means Microsoft can use its operating system to exploit users and benefit special interests. Windows 10's privacy policy asserts the privilege to sell almost any information it wants about users. And starting with Windows 10, Microsoft will begin forcing lower-paying users to test less-secure new updates before giving higher-paying users the option of whether or not to adopt them.</p> <p>Learn more about our campaign and pledge to upgrade away from Windows at <a href="http://www.upgradefromwindows.com">http://www.upgradefromwindows.com</a> </p> <div style="clear:both"><br /></div> <h2><a href="/working-together" id="working-together">Working Together for Free Software</a></h2> <p>Free software is simply software that respects our freedom — our freedom to learn and understand the software we are using.
