            <h1>Don't give your loved ones gifts that stand in the way of their freedom</h1>
<p>The headlines are filled with stories of "Big Tech" abuses, using the
tight control they have over their devices and platforms to keep us
powerless and dependent on them. There's no time at which this is more
evident than in the holiday season, when they marshal all of the
advertising at their disposal to sell us things that we don't need --
  and worse, products that don't respect our basic freedoms.</p>
			<h4>This year, choose freedom</h4>
			<p>This year, we advise you to end that cycle of forced obsolescence and user exploitation, and opt to try running <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw">free software</a> on a device you already own. If you're unlucky enough to get a gift that doesn't respect your freedom, you can still <a href="https://h-node.org">help others avoid it</a> by documenting its ethical pitfalls.</p>
<p>Let your loved ones know that you respect their freedom and privacy
too much to cave for the newest Apple, Amazon, or Google device, and
give them the one gift that keeps on giving: freedom.</p>

            <ul class="pros">
			  <p><strong>Our advice:</strong> There's currently no cell phone on the market that's fully compatible with user freedom, given the presence of nonfree software in iOS and Android. There are promising projects like PinePhone and the Librem 5 that seek to run GNU/Linux on smartphone hardware, but even these aren't perfect. What makes matters worse is that all smartphones currently run a separate, nonfree OS commonly referred to as the "mobile baseband," which is responsible for most of the device's communications.</p>
			  <p>If you're at all able to, and if you find your hardware is compatible with it, we recommend pairing the <strong>Replicant</strong> distribution of Android with the <a href="https://f-droid.org">F-Droid</a> app repository. Replicant is the bottom line when it comes to mobile OSes that respect their user's freedom, and is a project <a href="https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund">fiscally sponsored by the FSF.</a></p>

          <div class="good col-md-6 col-sm-6">
			<ul class="pros">
			  <li>
				Replicant is a <a href="https://gnu.org/free-sw">fully free</a> distribution of the Android operating system. The project has a staunch policy of including only free software and firmware.
			  </li>
              <li>
				Even if your phone doesn't support Replicant, you can still use the <a href="https://f-droid.org">F-Droid</a> repository on your Android phone. F-Droid has hundreds of applications that are ready to install, including Syncthing, Tor, Minetest, and Termux.
              </li>
			  <li>No matter what phone operating system you currently use, stay tuned for our upcoming mobile <a href="https://esd.fsf.org">Email Self-Defense Guide</a>, which will help you keep your communications both free and secure.</li>

            <ul class="cons">
			  <li>
              It's not just Siri that's creepy: all Apple devices contain software that's hostile to users. Although they claim to be concerned about user privacy, they don't hesitate to <a href="https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.html#surveillance">put their users under surveillance</a>.
			  </li>
              <li>
Apple prevents you from installing third-party free software on your own phone, and they use this control to censor apps that compete with or subvert Apple's profits.
              </li>
	      <li>Apple has a history of exploiting their absolute control over their users to <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-10-08/apple-taiwan-flag-emoji-iphones-hong-kong">silence political activists</a> and help governments <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/07/world/asia/china-xi-jinping-study-the-great-nation-app.html">spy on millions</a> of users.</li>

<p>In the last year, many people have unfortunately become more dependent on streaming media. But it's important to remember how streaming services can deprive you of important rights. "Dis-services" like Disney+ and Netflix mandate the use of a hardware-level backdoor called Widevine, giving them permanent access into deep components of your machine.</p>
<p>Widevine prohibits these services from running on many older devices, leaving families who can't afford a new computer or a new television out in the cold.</p>

			  <p>The Giving Guide is brought to you by the <a href="https://fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>. Our <a href="https://fsf.org/join">associate membership</a> program is the heart of the FSF's work campaigning for computer user freedom worldwide. If you're still looking for a gift, and want to put your money towards digital freedom, please consider becoming a member or donating to another charity supported by your friend or loved one.</p>
			  <p>We've been fighting for digital freedoms since 1985, and have no plans of stopping. The work we do year-round is work to provide more and better options for gifts: spreading the message of software freedom, as well as helping retailers do the right thing and promoting the work of those who do. It's your support that makes this work possible.</p>
