+
+<p>With the measures in this article, the state can recover control
+over its computing, and lead the country's citizens, businesses and
+organizations towards control over their computing. However, some
+object on the grounds that this would violate the
+“principle” of technological neutrality.</p>
+
+<p>The idea of technological neutrality is that the state should not
+impose arbitrary preferences on technical choices. Whether that is a
+valid principle is disputable, but it is limited in any case to issues
+that are merely technical. The measures advocated here address issues
+of ethical, social and political importance, so they are
+<a href="/philosophy/technological-neutrality.html">outside the scope
+of <em>technological</em> neutrality</a>. Only those who wish to
+subjugate a country would suggest that its goverment be
+“neutral” about its sovereignty or its citizens' freedom.</p>
