I do find it a quite relevant question. And I apologize for being so
lousy at expressing my opinion, so thanks for the patience and your help
clarifying it.
I consider FreedomBox a tool for non-technical users to participate in
the silverlining of the cloud.
I do not consider FreedomBox exclusively targeted so-called "Freedom
Fighters" - meaning people going on the barricades and risking their
lives and physical freedom in their fights.
