The proposed Chat control EU law will not only seize totalitarian control of all private communication. It will also ban open source operating systems as an unintended consequence.
@jakob I wouldn’t say “microsoft has won” just yet. Plenty of legal challenges to open-source have occurred and failed in the past, this is a proposed law in one region, and a lot of these community open-source repositories break the law anyway, by distributing clearly patent encumbered software, because it would be very unprofitable to sue them. (Only corporate-sponsored distros like Fedora and Clear Linux really care about complying with FOSS-hostile laws like software patents, mostly because they ARE profitable to sue.)
Definitely don’t give up on your beliefs just because it seems tough to follow them, there is always something to do. Fight against laws that force centralization like this. Keep developing your software until there’s a direct, credible legal threat, and possibly after if you’re open to civil disobedience.
I think the following about #Chatcontroll:
It will be realizes, because it’s not against child-abusement. It’s against climate-, and social activists. The near future will fuck us totally. And the mighty know, that we will be fucked.
So they want to save them self. And the try is Chatcontroll to kill peoples resistence…
Why is think, we are fucked soon?
climate change
moneysystem will break
socialsystem will break
energysystem will break
garbage all over the world
fascists take over in most countries (in case of many people are afraid of their future)
And the other part is… FOSS is not capitalistic… and capitalistic useable. Our fiatmoneysystem needs to grow, or it will die. So it will eat all of the free world… including FOSS… and die a little later. When everything is destroyed and fucked up.
It sounds dystopic?
Our world, the human world, is a dystopia… I didn’t belief it… but when i look outside… there is no way out, than destroy it all… so many stupid people voting for far rights, climatechange deniers, antivaxxers and conspiracy narrative tellers… We (we as humans) are to slow to change our system. So our system will change us.
