A federal bill sitting in the Senate Commerce Committee -- introduced by two Democrats and two Republicans -- would require every operating system on every general-purpose computer to gate use behind an account and a declared age. Its text carries no exemption for open-source, nonprofit, or small developers. GrapheneOS, the account-less privacy OS BL:UF profiled after a traveler's duress-wipe feature got him federally charged, has already told the identical state-level requirement it would rather leave a market than build the account system this bill demands.

          The EU will probably be after Canada with how many times they’ve tried chat control

            Von der Leyen is the chief architect behind construction of the Fourth Reich. Neither Switzerland nor Iceland are in the EU.

            In principle you could develop distributed in the underground, using anonymous donations.

    Bipartisan bill to fingerprint everyone with two data points would destroy privacy for all Internet users.

    Color me absolutely shocked that another “attempt” to “protect the children” simply is a brazen step towards more surveillance.

    My mom, by no means a political person, is convinced that the government is recording our conversations in real time. I feel that’s a bit early but I can’t really fault her and I doubt it is far off…
