Session
The number of devices on which users cannot run Free Software is exponentially
increasing. The consequence is an increased loss of control over users’ technology.
Device neutrality is the policy concept that users should have the right of non-
discrimination of the services and software they use, based on platform control by
hardware vendors, manufacturers and service providers. It is a concept that involves the
fair and non-discriminatory use of Free Software in devices. The talk will explain why Free Software is fundamental to implement Device Neutrality.
