What about moving to another country? Still not an option?

- You do realize that the FTC and the FEC are very different
organizations? But again, it seems you just used this statement as an opportunity to push a tangent.
Please don't do that.
Thanks, Lodewijk

The NSA surveillance which was reauthorized by Congress can not depend on eavesdropping alone with new HTTPS cyphers. It needs compromised hardware to work, such as has been included in Dell servers since the Foundation started purchasing them, and the design of which was overseen by the Foundation's CTO, who worked then at Intel. This provides us with the know-how, a teachable moment, and an excellent opportunity to specify and acquire replacement open source hardware which doesn't have the DIETYBOUNCE / System Management Mode OOB / iAMT and related backdoors.

- I somehow missed the commitment by the WMF to research "FEC
requirements
of organized advocates for US political candidates' or anything that suggests that the WMF may advocate for specific political candidates
(which
seems a change of course that would be hard to sweep under the rug).
Could
you quote?
