+ <p>New electronics can be the highlight of your holiday, but so many of the phones, computers, and toys come with proprietary software and privacy disrespecting and surveillance tools hidden inside.</p>
<p>This guide replaces these holiday humbugs with better devices from ethical companies—no <a href="https://gnu.org/proprietary" style="color: gold">creepy remote deletion of files or punitive and mean rules about copying and sharing</a>. Just products and software that respect the freedom and privacy of your loved ones: gifts you can feel good about.</p>
<p>We also hope the Guide will help you find new ways to talk about why these kinds of devices are risky to your user freedom, and why it's important to respect your freedoms.</p>
