[SIGCIS-Members] Fwd: When was first campaign for computer users' freedom

[Richard Stallman]

Empowering people through education is different from campaigning for
freedom because they work against different kinds of problems.
One works against a diffuse ignorance, and the other works
against a power structure that forcibly holds people down.

You can find some similarity between the effects of those two harmful
situations, but there are also important differences.
