<h1>Give the gift of freedom!</h1>
<p>New electronic gadgets make great presents for family and friends, but so many of the phones, computers, and toys come with proprietary programs, privacy-disrespecting software, 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>
