They say that GNU is spreading misinformation and "stop getting info from charlatans"?

And thats why they advocate open hardware

Sure and that's the ideal, but as it currently stands the FSF would rank hardware like this:

  1. Fully open source
  2. Proprietary flashed in factory and impossible to replace
  3. Proprietary and can be updated/replaced

This makes no sense for security, stability or ideological reasons.
