People are understandably angry and concerned because Richard Stallman is a longtime supporter of trans people, women, and social justice[1][2], but was somehow canceled by a disinformation campaign claiming that he was the opposite of all of those things.

The campaign was so intense and extreme it nearly destroyed the FSF. It continues to this day.

Stallman has a 15 year written record of his commitment to these causes. If he and the FSF can be canceled in this way, how are any of us safe?
