@gamingonlinux Define "providers". Is banning open source the next step?

Based on that system, Kramer said authorities should “take control over what they are saying.”

Das mit dem Alter ist auch nur ein Vorwand, der Schutz der Kinder ebenso. Man muss das dann machen, auf jedem PC, Smartphone, Tablet etc. (was ist mit älteren System, die dafür keine Updates mehr bekommen?) und damit wissen die genau, wer was macht. Palantir freut sich.

@gamingonlinux how will this be possible in an open source operating system?
The relevant code will easily be bypassed or disabled. Gotta love #FOSS

@DazRunner @gamingonlinux It can't, but next thing will be that having an OS that does not follow the law will be illegal. Same thing will happen with client side scanning (mobile), it will not work on privacy messengers, so it will be pushed to the OS and whatever OS can't or won't do it will become illegal -

"State surveillance software becomes mandatory so tech companies can abdicate their responsibilities to public safety.
They bought corrupt politicians and get rewarded with tax cuts, government contracts, and impunity. "

Ich glaube, das muss nicht mal Faschismus sein. Es geht um die Kontrolle über die Menschen an sich. Egal welche Regierungsform. Und Kinder sind immer wieder ein guter Vorwand.
