- Should we have to trade our privacy to large private companies just to be able to communicate with each other?
Should there be tighter legislation in this area of consumer technology?
You decide !
Everyone should listen to mr Stallman this is the madness we live in.
Yes, but listen on what? Lol, I partly jest, but seriously? Would take a paradigm shift on a societal level
Government listened him very well
“Please don’t break in on me when I’m talking” - this was such a power play. The guy barely mumbled.
he try to agree
I was so confused by that, it was a really awkward exchange
Very disrespectful, Stallman sounds very unused to the concept of "talking" or "interview"
@@Rennacius Stallman is probably neurodivergent, give him a break
@@AbandonedVoid apparently he rejects any theory that he has any neurodisorder
mobile phones = Stalin's dream
no mobile phones = Stallman's dream
This dude was right on the money 40 years ago.
This dude is inconsiderate bringing a phone into a room with Richard Stallman. If you are willing to compromise yourself, that's fine. But don't compromise others.
Why? Do you think the interview was meant to be secret?
@@johnnyblue4799 IKR, people are so dumb man
@@johnnyblue4799 not a secret, but he always has several petitions whenever he's going to give a speech or attend an interview, one of them is use of mobile phones
-🤓
@@2vndr well here he is likely recording or similar on the phone, I mean it's in his face. I don't think Stallman is the type of dude who would just accept that if he wasn't okay with it. I mean you even see it here when he is getting "interrupted".
I wish smartphones were more modular so we could remove a mic and camera, for example, as easy as removing ram from a hard drive or maybe even easier.
Also, the hardware being open source.
We can put them in electrostatic pouches while not in use to help aid in privacy a bit.
Librem phones tried to put together a platform (and they did), but hey, it turns out it's very hard to make cheap and effective devices compared to the modern stuff.
Check about PinePhone
Oh no, I wouldn't want to lose any of these components
Destroy the mic, use headset.
That might be a job for Framework.
Richard the legend
Он борется за нас, за нашу свободу
Why is the bald guy jumpin around and all jittery, jesus…
Soi energy.
Inconsiderate interviewer, really appreciate RMS for tolerating
if only the interviewer was as attentive as the phone here.
And remember how "non-removable batter" is a feature today.
Richard stallman is the best philosipher
It is based on trust that you should not be listened. On the other hand, I don't use a phone.
... and routes directly to Langley.
At this moment, the government force us that we need a mobile phone.
I switched from smart phone to a dumb phone, but that makes it very hard to do some basic things.
they may have my data but they dont have my spirit
D'accord !
Also is richard using an x200?
maybe a t400
@@diegomillan2806 yeah you're probably right. Looks like a 14 inch laptop. T400 with 9cell maybe
I think he uses a T60. It’s one of the few laptops that can be Librebooted
@@willardorwud a lot of them can now, but those models you guys mentioned are the only ones that can be truly, truly 'free' like that
They can track me when I go buy groceries, and they can listen to my mad mumbling? I've been trying to get someone to listen to me, so if I talk to my phone the government will listen? If there is over 400 million phone conversations a day how many people does it that to listen to all that, would take a long time to go through all those calls. Note to self "don't say anything over the phone, someone might be listening". What if we just want to order pizza? Don't get me wrong, I admire and respect the man immensely. We definitely need our privacy and what's happening is outrageous and must be stopped.
That's exactly why softwares are made for, to automate things, u don't have to listen to every single conversation, a modular software (AI in the near future) will do so and can tell whether someone is talking about killing, bombarding, politiques, ...I'll let the rest to ur imagination.
It already exist and has for a long time. They can use software to search for keywords.
No cant do.
Every government used Citizen tracking even romans
Stallman Is right but what can we do
Well that is with passports and your personal details, they don't ask anything for your real time location at least
The only thing we can really do, inside this society, is to be aware and spread our awareness. If enough people wake up from their slumber, our collective uncounscious will be enough to change things. This is a long process and could require generations, a collective effort. Or it can simply explode in a bloodbath. Humans will always live the conflict of what's right for us as people and what's good for us as individuals, this is one of our biggest struggles.
i degooglified mine and installed AOSP i need a phone if i didnt i wouldn't have one
What phone do you own?
who's the interviewer?
why is this posted on April fools day
The interviewer is so annoying and disrespectful, dude stop messing with your devices and look to the face of the person who is talking to you
richard your laptop can do that too right? stop using it also he didn't hear about phones with lineage or other community phone os
If the location is tracked my the phone company, you're still stuck. Lineage - extremely small market share, as other OSs not using Google's services gives a ton of inconveniences to the average user, so the market share will not change
Just use mobian or a pinephone something
Wouldnt this be a reason why almost all smartphones now have non removable batteries , they will never stop radio transmissions until u remove the battery , they will know under which phone tower you are even if its switched off
No. The reason is completely else. It started with Apple, everyone is following that shit company. They didn't have a removable battery. Others followed. They removed the headphone jack, Everyone followed. They added an ugly notch, everyone followed. They removed the charging brick from their packaging, everyone followed.... Idk if you noticed but it all leads to fucking apple. and now those companies are following apple as well by locking down the device, like taking all your control on what you can do to it, away like it isn't even yours when you bought it.
nah that's not the reason, the reason is that it's cheaper to make, more compact, and that the manufacturer can have monopoly on repair, ofc what you're saying can still happen, but it's not the main reason behind it
Apple was clearly about their coming phones unable to ever shutdown, the most part of the iPhone will shutdown but partly it keeps emitting beacons, it's for our own security they explained like tracking your stolen iPhone.
No, it's to make sure you buy a new one instead of repairing
How does RMS make a phone call when he is out and about?
He taps a stranger on the shoulder and asks if they can make a quick call for him.
@@miguelrmusic but what if all humans follow his advice
@@shekhawat5917 Then payphones would come back
He asks people to boycott Zoom etc and call in. And he wants us to boycott mobile phones. What are we supposed to use?!
@@oliverford5367 Good point!
Use Linux Phone s
this is what schizophrenia and narcissism looks like
He is stupid. How you supposed to use GNU stuff if GNU don`t suport hardware because ideological reasons?
He can't prove it, since the software is propietary.
It's not like Rich has much of value to say worth listening to. Mad nutter.
I cannot lie, Stallman can come across as pretty annoying...he has a bit of a superiority complex. Yes, we are aware of what phones are capable of, but these backdoors are utilized in the case of suspected criminal behavior (granted, this is a subjective standard, I know...there are compromises). The government obviously doesn't have the resources to parse every single conversation taking place; these resources are targeted. Frankly, I'm not opposed to this. If you opt for the "ultimate" in privacy, you do give up some safety (Yes, I'm aware of the quote...). I would be OK with something like 80% privacy, 20% safety, and I honestly don't think we're far from that now with phone operating systems (things like Facebook are definitely another story...). The government does frequently thwart planned terrorist attacks and the like. It's not like surveillance is there purely to invade your privacy and creep on you.
government is also not safe from terrorists.
Nah, Stallman is 100% right
Until it becomes illegal to be contrary or a dissident.
Thanks officer!
Algorithms will remove the need for resources. Everyone will be monitored closely soon.
This is not ture he is wrong
Kinda true tho, unless you have a phone with hardware kill switches that let you disable something in your phone on a hardware level.
also gnu/linux phones (which are kinda still in development) have more privacy.
The only mistake in his politics is the bias against communist/socialist governments, specially Stalin.
He himself speaks of how dastardly capitalist corporations can be, however, he still trusts what they themselves say against said governments.
In the capitalist mode of production there is no freedom of the press, rather it is the freedom of the owner of the press.
Shoo commie. You don't get to write off the mass murder and abortion of human liberty caused by the mercantile failure and brutality of the USSR. If you actually cared about independence, liberty, and privacy, you would actually stand against the evils caused by ANY entity that has power over the individual - Government or Corporation.
"The only mistake in his politics is the bias against more government" Uhhh lol
@@collinc757 he criticizes corporations in favor of government regulation, so yeah, he knows there's a need for true popular power over corporations and that can only be achieved through worker organizations
@@MEWOVER9000 such mass murders are pure bogus made up as a way to deter the masses from the only true alternative to the injustices and devastation of capitalism. The population of the Soviet Union went from 137 million to 200 million from 1920 to 210 million in 1959. So no one missing.
The Soviet Union did not fail or collapse, it was ilegally dissolved against the will of its population manifested in two refrendums, Russia has now one of the highest suicide rates in the world, people look back and miss those good times when everybody had a job, healthcare, food and shelter, nothing for free all provided by their job.
Life in all socialist republics was better before, Romania, Yugoslavia, are all the backwater of Europe now with high unemployment and terrible life conditions.
Any shortages in the 80s were due to privatization by traitor Gorbachev, effectively worsening life conditions for the masses, so literally the more capitalist the USSR became, the worse life was.
You're drawing a false equivalence between a corporation, whose sole purpose is the greed for profit compared to a government composed mostly of workers and where the economy is not left to a gamble but planned by society in the best interest of society.
@@rashidnexkoyotl7524 What is your explanation for all the historians and scholars who have documented something on the order of 20 million killed by Stalin's regime? Is it your position that all these people are in on some kind of conspiracy to slander socialism?
You also have the example of China whose economy collapsed under a pure socialist model, and switched to a "capitalism with socialist characteristics" model which has allowed them to thrive, and brought them back from the brink.
I wonder what is his thought on linux on phones.
Still the firmware and drivers are proprietary
Tracking technology has gone way beyond just tracking a phone these days.. there are cameras everywhere and with face matching tech (and even gait tech) it's pretty easy to pinpoint anyone pretty much anywhere. Ring doorbells etc just add to this.
And that leads totaliry system.
Good thing my life is pathetic. Ain't nobody wants to listen to that
this is kind of idealistic. maybe he can get away with it because he's an academic, but most people have no choice but to have a phone for work reasons.
When I get home, I store my work phone into a sealed aluminium box. I pull it only when I need. The reason of a phone is to reach you when you are available instead make you available 24/7, then you get contacts mad just because you're not. That's insane.
That's the point. They made them pretty much mandatory. In the same way you also necessarily need a bank account.
If you have "NO CHOICE" for "WORK REASONS" you're not a fucking worker. You're a slave. lmfao. Get used to it.
😡
yeah the whole point is - he is the idealist that we need as a contrast and an example - doesn't mean all of us are able to do everything he does, but it means that maybe someone will develop technology that allows it or addresses the issues he has
How the hell does he have access to basic services such as banking without mobile phone?
He owns a computer and you can go to the bank.
Based and freedom-pilled
Interviewer is a big distraction. I wish he wasn't on the screen.
The same is true for Laptop batteries. It's all intentional
What about phones like the Pinephone and Librem 5 ?
@Ch Pe this didn’t age well. GAB here we come
@Ch Pe Odyssey (a front end for LBRY) is exploding in popularity.
They're still tracked by the phone companies & towers (legitimate and faked), and all calls can be monitored. Just without the secret spyware - so maybe a half win
@@WiseGuy508 also unfortunate
They still hook up to cell towers and go through mobile data providers, so they're still tracking your location and listening to your conversations. They are marginally better, but they really don't address most of the core issues. You would need a mobile device that uses VoIP over the internet, which would require the use of public wireless access points and carry its own risks, and it would prevent you from sending or receiving text conversations.
what until he learns about ISP's...
I wish I could talk to Richard Stallman.
You can. The man answers all of his emails himself, and he responds quickly.
Yes it replies but obviously he has to answer hundreds of emails every day so please contact him only if you cannot find the answer in one of his numerous talks.
Everone should listen to that guy
extreme
Is that Youval Harari interviewing? That would be more than just a little ironic.
based
Based on a true story. No, that cannot be right. Based-in-fact. That does not sound right either. Misusing a word. Yes, that must be it.
@@williamjohnson3229 words can earn new meanings over time. stop crying if you can't handle the evolution of language.
What is my phone has GANUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SLASH LIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXX inside it?
SLASH LINOOOOOOOKZ
Does this still apply if the smartphone that I own does not have a sim card in it?
Almost all smartphones are able to execute an emergency call even without a sim card. Therefore you can believe that your smartphone will still connect to radio towers. This leads to the conclusion that removing the sim card does not prevent tracking of smartphones.
Guy Is right but what can we do
Is big
Is big
Both laptops and smartphones have cameras and microphones... I don't understand how you can be paranoid about 1 but not the other
One you can disable the camera and microphone and control your whole operating system while the other is proprietary and can track your activity at any time
average linux user
Your home phone also tracks what phone number you've dialed and who calls you. Should we have never used wired home phones 25 years ago either?
Yes
I don't think your home phone listens to you when you're not in a conversation (although it's possible). Also your location and proximity with other people can't be tracked through your home phone.
Not necessarily "don't use it" so much as "be aware that everything you do with it is public, so try to use more private alternatives as much as possible." Not using it is the ideal, and that is achievable in the modern era.
Get real
Richard "Chomo" Stallman back in his bunker of the mind. He's the Voldemort of tech. Terrible things, great things...
Love everything Stallman says here except the dunk on Stalin
Stalin sucked though. You realize you can say socialism is good and stalin was bad with contradiction right?
@@Taylor_5724 No they didn’t? Why exactly is Stalin so bad?
Well milions starved to death because of him or if he thought you were a threat to him you were sent to the gulag or executed on the spot and lives of your family members were ruined and you know, the usual stuff. But other than that really great guy 👍👍
@@simonmravec2807 no
@Archusrtm lol
HE ISN'T saying anything society doesn't already know. Imagine how many people's lives have been saved because of cell phones. This guy is famous for being an asshole. Very difficult to work with and you can see why during this interview.
I partly agree and also see how this guy might be difficult to talk to lol. But, I don't think saving lives is a justification for reducing freedoms and privacy, simply because the people aren't being given the real choice. The system we built favors surveillance and data collection, but another just as functional system could work without those problems.
