  • Which is why I included the bit about fighting it out legally.

    But I’ve seen the downward slide of society take hard-fought civil rights away for several decades now. It’s never a sudden process, it always starts small and then slowly grows.

    That’s what happens by adding features that comply with these stupid laws. Step one is NOT doing that. People can still use the software even if it doesn’t comply. What is the government going to do break into everyone’s home and look at their computers?


  • It’s not so simple as that, the dude provided a framework for privacy abusers to use to force us into their bullshit. If that framework did not exist they wouldn’t be able to do that so easily. There is absolutely zero reason for there to be a centralized location on an operating system that just hands out your demographic information to whoever asks for it and yes, that includes the fields that already existed. None of it should be in there. This is not something we should be compromising on. There are enough invasions into our privacy as it is.
