Device ecossystems are extremely complex, and enforcing Device Neutrality

requires dedicated initiatives focusing determined aspects of how end-users

use and interact with devices. Along the years, our activities have related

to several components of Device Neutrality, such as promoting software freedom,

protecting end-users from lock-in and fostering self-empowerement related to

is a game-changer for regulating gatekeepers. Its rules contain several

aspects of Device Neutrality. The FSFE colaborated in the legislative

Since its genesis, the FSFE has been working to put control over
|
||||
technology in the hands of users. Along the years, we have gained
|
||||
experience with several dedicated activities focused on how users can keep
|
||||
their control over devices. For instance, our
|
||||
<a href="/activities/routers/routers.html">Router Freedom</a> and
|
||||
<a href="/activities/radiodirective/radiodirective.html">EU Radio
|
||||
Lockdown</a> refer to the hardware layer of net neutrality principles.
|
||||
Such activities relate with what could be considered the first step for
|
||||
Device Neutrality from the perspective of telecommunications law. Besides,
|
||||
our activities focused on digital sustainability, as
|
||||
<a href="/activities/upcyclingandroid/">Upcycling Android</a> have a
|
||||
strong component for Device Neutrality, as the freedom to install and run
|
||||
software in general purposes computers, interoperability and Open
|
||||
Standards are important elements for a sustainable digital future.
|
||||
Nevertheless, although the Device Neutrality principles may sound common
|
||||
knowledge for the Free Software community, it is far from being current
|
||||
commercial practices by gatekeepers. Monitoring the enforcement and
|
||||
compliance of the DMA, the conduction of device-related activities and
|
||||
promoting software freedom requires a lot of resources.
