Freedom doesn't magically repel each and every threat, but freedom and control of our software give us the opportunity to protect ourselves and each other. That is, software freedom does not protect you from remote NetSpectre attacks, but if all the software running on computers under your control is free software, you can scan its source code for remotely-exploitable gadgets, modify them so that they are no longer exploitable, and be assured that none remain hiding in binary blobs, because such blobs do not belong in free software.
