I don't post here frequently, does anyone know why this post is flagged? And how that affects my account?
My guess would be the title, or the way the article was written.
IMO, the article makes valid points from both technical and privacy perspective, but it was written less like a critic and more like an attack.
People in Free software community will agree with the article as most knows about how bad a centralized proprietary program can be.
But the wordings could have been better so that it would trigger fewer people.
