PDF version of the Family Guide to Digital Freedom now available

(Paywall-free popularization like this is what I do for a living. To support me, see the end of this post)

Following several requests, I am making available for download a PDF version of the 2007 edition of my Family Guide to Digital Freedom, with the following notes and conditions:

  • Please note that the same text is also available here on this website, in a format /one page per chapter) that makes it much easier to link it and, even better, add feedback (please do it!). If you want to signal a chapter of the guide to your friend, find the corresponding page in the index and link that one, not the PDF file. This will help me to collect more feedback, more efficiently, and everybody interested to discuss each issue together
  • The PDF file is made available under a CC BY-NC-ND license
  • The whole Disclaimer of the 2007 online edition applies! In synthesis:
  1. please note the part saying that I wrote that stuff a long time ago (in Internet terms), so don’t be surprised if many practical tips and specific examples aren’t so actual anymore
  2. Today, digifreedom.net is frozen! Please make this very clear to everybody you give that file, whenever possible: while I do much more these days for Digital Freedom than I did in 2007, the reference websites for all my activities in this field, from my articles to my Beginner Courses on Digital Rights for all citizens, are mfioretti.com and this website, the Stop.

Who writes this, why, and how to help

I am Marco Fioretti, tech writer and aspiring polymath doing human-digital research and popularization.
I do it because YOUR civil rights and the quality of YOUR life depend every year more on how software is used AROUND you.

To this end, I have already shared more than a million words on this blog, without any paywall or user tracking, and am sharing the next million through a newsletter, also without any paywall.

The more direct support I get, the more I can continue to inform for free parents, teachers, decision makers, and everybody else who should know more stuff like this. You can support me with paid subscriptions to my newsletter, donations via PayPal (mfioretti@nexaima.net) or LiberaPay, or in any of the other ways listed here.THANKS for your support!
