Transcript of Making GAFAs obsolete
Free / Open Source personal Cloud solution
Trends in Digital: smartphones and SaaS
Both enable data collection
Mobile: for backup (into « the Cloud »)
and sync (through « the Cloud ») with other devices
SaaS: as processing is server-side (in « the Cloud ») and to monetize personal data (with targeted ads)
There is no cloud. Just someone else’s
computer
In « the Cloud »: 1 - data is centralized
2 - no freedom for users 3 - no room for free software

Snowden’s revealed that data
centralization makes
mass surveillance economically
possible
« mass surveillance creates a prison in the
mind that is a much more subtle though much more
effective means of fostering compliance
with social norms or with social orthodoxy, much
more effective than brute force could ever be »
Glenn Greenwald « Why privacy matters » TED Talk,
Oct. 2014
When under surveillance, people tend to
self-censor
Code is law:
In the digital age, the one writing the
code decides what users
can do
Free softwareFree society
If code is law…
…architecture is
politics
It’s up to us, hackers, to build the Internet we want,
not the one which is handed down to us
Rebuilding a {new|Gnu} decentralized Internet
…instead of a centralized Internet owned by a
handfull of corporations
We need all kinds of free & open source
decentralized efforts
All kinds of projects here today!
• Self-hosting solution
• Non-profit ethical service hosting
• Software
• DYI ISPs
• Decentralized user-controlled network hardware
• … and many more!
Let’s build a decentralized Internet movement together!
