@purism Just purchased the Librem.One service package. So far, so good. Plan on dumping Google.
Librem One is over 92% of the way to our backer goal! WAY ahead of schedule!
If you haven't already signed up, now might be a good time to at least grab a free account (chat & social media) so you have your user name reserved. ;)
I was interviewed by Fast Company about @purism hardware kill switches in this piece on the current trend to put them in home automation devices to address everyone's unease with always-on cameras and mics in their bedroom. #privacy

Librem Mail 0.1.1 for Android is now available on the Google Play Store.
WHAT'S NEW
* Fixed notifications
* Changed default privacy settings to hide the user agent, hide the time zone, and hide the host name when connecting
* Translation & string fixes

For those that use Android but do not like using the Google Play Store: We plan to make the Librem.one applications available via F-Droid. No hard ETA yet, but it's in the works. More info on that once available.
What if your Social Media, Email, & Chat were run by a company that...
- Doesn't sell ads
- Doesn't sell data
- Doesn't look at your junk
It exists. Right now.
Imagine a social network that doesn't profit off collecting and selling your data.
If you're reading this, you don't need to imagine.
Now over 85% towards the backer goal for Librem One!
Check out the services (VPN, Email, Social, & Chat -- all of which are already online and running) at:

@kaiju We're plan to include them in
F-Droid some time soon.
@poetgrant Upgrading is on the way. Will announce it when the feature is in place. (Seriously, soon.)
Curious about the Librem One moderation policy or code of conduct?
"If you are being harassed, or witness online harassment, block and flag the offending user, and a moderator will take action. We do not tolerate harassment."

Bingo. Librem One does, in fact, have a moderation policy -- and moderation tools in place. I believe Michael may be working on outdated information. :)
"Most people want to opt-in to what they want to follow, be that a news feed, a celebrity, a friend, or family. Most people do not want to be force-fed a constant stream of manipulated content to catch and keep their attention."

"Please try and use platforms that value open source firmware components. Chromebooks are a great example of this, as well as Purism computers."

"With all of these privacy problems showing up with the biggest social networks and technology companies around, some companies are working on giving users back control over their data and communications."
