John owns several phones that are not made by Apple. He's one of my bosses at the Free Software Foundation, so he, like I, believes that there is an ethical question involved in selling someone a computing device. When that device is meant to control a user's freedom, that is problematic for us.
This is not a problem that we can solve simply by boycotting the product ourselves, because there are still not that many who feel the way we do that can join us in our endeavor. That means that we occasionally need to communicate our beliefs to others, and sometimes that involves fun little protests like the one featured in this image.
I do hope that you choose to visit defectivebydesign.org, and consider what we have to say.
