We Need Freedom Trons!

Privacy ist the next big challenge on the web. It's part of an identity shift in the digital era where communication is transparent and more trackable than ever before. We're seeing context and highly relevant advertising in your face; it's stored and thrown back at you in hope that you'll take notice. Since next gen destinations like Facebook are making money solely with advertising, they want to make sure their clients bills are invested properly.

At the end of the day, the routers, cables and most underestimated cost of all - the world's servers - need to get paid. Yet we need open source destinations that enhance our communication experience and protect from commercial exploitation. So self-organization in lieu of Free Speech TV is important, because without critical reflection from us, technology can steal our ability to differentiate between freedom and privacy.

so use it or lose it (to big business)!!?

Big business of whom. Google still wants to be seen as "good" and is big. We all use Google, so we can't complain. Consumers are unaware of their collective power. Checks and balances like Free Speech TV are good, although Murdoch couldn't care less.
