#RMS is American too, but I focused on their culture (and this their nationalities) because they accepted the request of a #Facebook employee to remove #Stallman because of "his disgusting opinions".

So they made a cultural issue.

But I was pretty clear about the fact the real problem is the influence of their employers over #GCC.

And apparently they can't argue with that: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-April/235314.html

The real issue is: how we can go forward?

Relying on GCC is a severe risk for anybody outside the #US. #LLVM and #Clang are just as bad.

So we need to build alternatives from scratch.

#Facebook: cancel #Stallman because of his disgusting opinions

#GCC Steering Committee: Ok!

Me: now that I look at the remaining members of GCC Steering Committee, all I see are #US corporations with long ties with the #USA DoD. Please, fix it.

#Google: don't worry, we shall do no evil!

#GCC developer: go away, you concern troll! We are inclusive!

Me: 🥺
