Lula's totalitarian Digital ID verification law in Brazil has already made its first victim, disguised as made to "protect the children" (bs) and pushed by paid celebrities and "journalists"

the Arch Linux 32 distro has just blocked access to Brazilian IPs

restricting: downloads, updates, forum access, and more

they are threatening FOSS communities to comply with something they, technically, can't comply with -- resting no other alternative than to restrict access to protect themselves from retaliation

Brazil is now not different from known, nefarious dictatorships like China, North Korea, Iran, and others, that restrict access to software and internet from their population

surveillance state is winning

it's time to fight back -- our move, now
