Software should empower users. Software should not abuse, spy on, or hobble users. This is SOFTWARE FREEDOM.

Some evil companies design software to wield power over users. This is SOFTWARE BONDAGE. It is analogous to literal bondage because the user is cornered, shackled or caged.

Some evil companies forcibly integrate user systems into the AI cloud panopticon so the system won't install or boot without the user being identified and tracked by the panopticon. This is SOFTWARE SLAVERY. It is analogous to literal slavery in that the user needs constant permission to use the system and can only use the system in a way that chiefly benefits the software slaver.

Some evil companies forcibly harvest user data and force users to store private data in compromising cloud settings where their privacy is violated and subject to even greater risk of violation. This is SOFTWARE RAPE. It is analagous to literal rape and denudes users of the privacy and security of their data.

When an evil company is doing evil with its software or hardware offerings these terms may be used to tell the truth about such evil actions.
