Complex, expensive,<br>
not easy for small-scale third parties

# Conclusion / summary

If we have the ambition<br>
to **fight surveillance capitalism**<br>
we *must* <br>
reduce the technical and human cost<br>
of server administration.<br>

### **YunoHost shows that it can be done**

... yet there's still so much to do!<br>
For this, **we need your help** ;-)
