There’s a species of bottom-feeding contrarian that has sprung up in this century to decry the Internet as a system of oppression.
I think a more pervasive threat to digital freedom comes from progressives and radicals who continue to use Apple and Microsoft technology. If more Apple/PC users in that group switched to GNU/Linux and encouraged others to do the same - if more of them saw free software as integral to, and a piece with, the other freedoms many of them are fighting for - it would do a lot to catalyze adoption of those technologies. (I’m thinking mostly in the US; I know there’s more widespread adoption of free software elsewhere.)
