Why Device Neutrality is important for Free Software?
summary
Explains FSFE’s Device Neutrality policy response to increasing inability to run Free Software on modern hardware, detailing four concrete demands: strict end-user consent for pre-installed apps, prohibition of vendor lock-in, interoperability via Open Standards, and real-time data portability. Discusses how these principles map onto EU regulatory developments such as the Digital Markets Act as tools to prevent platform/manufacturer discrimination and enable use of Free Software.
