freedom labs are smaller than organisations, with less need to focus on promotion and management. freedom labs can be maintained with just one person or be collaborative; they can also be used to represent additional voices in the free software and free culture movements.

whether you use computers for work or just own a car or mobile phone, having a society thats permeated with computers means we will need to make informed personal and political decisions regarding our data, privacy, and freedom to manage our own devices.
we can make these concepts easy enough for anyone, but when we do we create a society that better understands the tools that surround us. learn more with

how we can we offer

to fans of "open source?"
once we have a better understanding of the technology we use, it is up to us to decide how to apply that knowledge. computers are increasingly designed to decide what we are able to do, though we can customise and add features until that feature is removed or discontinued or breaks.
using free software means you have a greater amount of say as to what youre devices can do. instead of having a vendor decide what your choices are-- like a genie granting three wishes but only ones found on a menu, freedom lets you wish for more wishes and even come up with new choices.
