Open source is a civic imperative, not just a tech choice. It hands power back to people — transparency that prevents surveillance and corruption, freedom from corporate gatekeepers, and the ability to fix what’s broken instead of waiting for permission. Societies that embrace open source cut costs, harden security through mass peer review, and ignite waves of local innovation and jobs. It levels the playing field so citizens everywhere can learn, build, and defend their digital rights. Losing open source is losing democratic control of our infrastructure. Defend it.🛡️
