The term goes back to the American whistleblower Edward Snowden. He often says goodbye with "stay free" instead of "stay safe". He explains that an excessive desire for security always comes at the expense of freedom. He wants to increase the value of freedom by using this closing phrase. Other people use this enactment to express their loyalty with Snowden's values.
