Being new to this social network, I thought I should introduce myself. I am the Chairperson of Purism, SPC. Today, our team released a suite of services (VPN, Chat, Social and Email) that respects users' privacy, is ad-free and does not track users. Join us at https://librem.one. I also serve on the Canadian board of directors of Al Gore's Climate Reality project. I will post information on #climatechange, #privacy, and #inquality. Follow me if you are interested. Thanks. #introduction
