 Opensource privacy-based software is better for the future of humankind.

I will not stay silent if I want to voice my opinion, people should respect my right to do that.

The ability to have an opinion is not a crime.

The censorship of that opinion by the government IS a crime.

LibreOffice is truly a gift.

Encryption can do so much for humanity.

It can keep codes securely secret, at least for a while.

Eventually, in about 25-30 years, quantum computers will be able to decrypt the encryption I've used for the document I sent to the FBI.

It's damning information that won't be relevant in 25-30 years, but the police anonymous tips sent by letter will never be found.

It's best if I can continue to use privacy-based open-source software that enables me to excercise my freedom without censorship or resistance from anyone.
