So... Wordpress is now 40% of *all* websites (and probably well north of 60% of all non-static websites). That's 4-6 times more than the next most widely used online platform (which is either Drupal or Joomla depending on who you ask - both are open source,). Free software (Drupal is also Copyleft licensed) rules the Internet by a very wide (probably unassailable) margin.And, amazingly, it's steadily increasing its market share. https://w3techs.com/blog/entry/40_percent_of_the_web_uses_wordpress

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s proposal to amend Section 230 is a bad-faith attempt to ensure we live in a world dominated by Facebook. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/facebooks-pitch-congress-section-230-me-not-thee

Political labels have become as confusing as punk rock labels. Maybe we need to combine them. VoterA, "I'm a post-hardcore Democrat." VoterB, "I'm a pop-punk Republican."

Reminder:the real existential threat to Free Software isn't the make-up of the FSF governance board. It's US multinational corporations funding legal reports encouraging companies to shun Copyleft licensed software, calling it "too risky" for business use. (of course, if you want to see a real legal minefield, take a gander at any proprietary EULA... if you can find one - they tend to be completely hidden). Also: the shade thrown by Github and MSFT on Copyleft at every opportunity..
