L'informatisation de la société soulève toutes sortes d’enjeux d’ordre éthique, politique, social, économique et culturel. En effet, sous la conduite d’un petit nombre de sociétés multinationales, la prolifération des technologies de l'information s’accompagne de problèmes graves, comme le fossé numérique qui se creuse entre les riches et les pauvres, les atteintes aux libertés fondamentales, la surveillance des internautes par la grande entreprise et l'État, la répression du partage sur Internet, etc. Face à ces enjeux, l'informatique libre ouvre la voie sur des possibles. 2, record 1, French, - informatique%20libre
