<h1>Does the gift you're giving your loved ones respect their rights?</h1>
- <p>Let your loved ones know that you respect them too much
-to give them gifts that invade their privacy and abuse their freedom.
-This Giving Guide is full of gifts that you can feel good about
-instead.</p>
- <p>When we allow <a href="https://gnu.org/proprietary">proprietary software</a> created by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google, and countless other companies to handle our basic computing tasks, we put an enormous amount of power in their hands, power which they freely exploit. It's only through using <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>, and <a href="https://ryf.fsf.org">devices running free software</a>, that we can seize this power back.</p>
<p>When picking a gift this year, we urge you to think carefully about
the choice you're making. Is that smart assistant smart enough to
respect your friend or family member's rights? Does that tablet really
have their best interest in mind? Or does that shiny gadget come at a
cost much higher than its price tag?</p>

+<p>This year has brought us some disturbing "advances" from streaming services like <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/11/20960441/netflix-ditching-old-roku-devices-because-of-drm">Netflix</a> and <a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/10/22/disney-will-only-work-on-devices-that-support-the-strictest-widevine-l3-drm/">Disney+</a>. Both companies have mandated the use of a <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html">treacherous computing</a> scheme called <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/widevine-explained-821935/">Widevine</a>, giving them the power to choose what you can and cannot do on your own device.</p>
<p>Widevine prohibits these services from running on many older devices, as well as most computers running GNU/Linux, leaving families who can't afford a new computer or a new television out in the cold.</p>
<p>Try these video services and sites instead:</p>
<ul class="pros">
<h5 class="text-center">Stay away from these devices:</h5>
<ul class="cons">
<li>Internet of Things connected home appliances, smart speakers, and virtual assistants are little more than spying devices brought into your home. These include Ring, Amazon Alexa, Amazon Echo, Google Home, Nest, Ecobee, and Sonos products.</li>
+<li>DRM can show up in many places that you wouldn't expect: even in the kitchen. Any device from the "Keurig 2.0" line will refuse to brew anything but officially sanctioned "K-cups." When brewing your tea or coffee this year, staying with the simpler option is smarter.</li>
<li><p>The Nintendo Switch is a popular holiday gift, but few realize that Nintendo has utter control over the platform and offers little insight into how it really works -- or how it might be spying on you and your family. Not much has changed since our advice to <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/nintendo">brick them</a> before they bricked the Nintendo DS.</p></li>
