Finding alternatives to proprietary online tools with Framasoft
You can’t escape Google. At least, that’s how it seems.
The company doesn’t just dominate search. It also has its tendrils in personal storage, online productivity tools, books, music, social networking, and more. Billions of people the world over use their services because of the convenience and power.
The flip side? Google, and other online providers like them, collect a massive amount of data about you and your online habits, and it isn't always clear what companies do with that all that data. This is causing more people to look for alternatives to these "free" tools, but many don’t know where to find them.
Framasoft, a non-profit network dedicated to the global promotion of free (as in free speech) software and culture, wants to help people de-Googlize their online lives.
Thanks to the miracle that’s Etherpad, I was able to sit down (virtually) with the team from Framasoft to learn more about what they do and why they do it.
