The problem is that having their freedom taken away — probably a necessity to protect them, as they’ve shown they can’t be educated — will also take away mine.

Right now, I run Linux in an attempt to preserve my own freedom for as long as possible.

But it’s probably only a few more years until large corporations wrest complete control of the Internet and computers away from their rightful owners, and we trade freedom for perceived safety.
