Intel ME Petition

Change[dot]org Intel ME Petition:

  We, the users of Intel CPUs, petition Intel to release an “ME-less” CPU design for future CPUs.

  Intel’s Management Engine (ME) is a threat to users’ digital rights. It is an unreadable binary file that is cryptographically signed by Intel, requiring users to compromise their security, privacy, and freedom because users must execute unknown and unverifiable code on the CPU.


  We request that Intel either release the source code under a free software license – allowing  > > users to sign their own Management Engine, or that Intel release an “ME-less” CPU design for  their CPUs.

There’s nothing wrong with such a petition, there have been quite a few in the past.
One by Purism in 2016.
As Intel doesn’t listen, they decided to instead go with a fully disabled ME, and hope to eventually move towards RISC-V. All explained in great detail in
