This centralisation is detrimental, not only because it curbs innovation, but also because it results in a loss of freedom for users, who no longer control their digital existence: their behaviour is continually dissected and analysed so that they can be better targeted by publicity, and their data – which should be private (sites visited, emails exchanged, videos watched, etc.) – can be analysed by government services. The way that Framasoft would like to deal with this issue is simple: to highlight and provide a <a href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/#leds" target="_blank">Free</a>, <a href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/#leds" target="_blank">Decentralized</a>, <a href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/#leds" target="_blank">Ethical</a> and <a href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/#leds" target="_blank">Solidarity</a> based alternative to each of these services which deprive users of their freedom.
