I'm reminded of a quote;

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

~C.S. Lewis

If they were omnipotent and moral it'd be ok. Kind of an odd quote from a supposed Christian

Don't believe I've ever heard tale of an omnipotent human. They didn't even claim Jesus was omnipotent

They did claim that with the trinity garbage, Jesus = god even tho that makes no sense and Jesus never claimed that he was his own father.

The number one thing we need is clairity in what it means for someone to have jourisdiction over you when you are a developer. Here is my claim. When you live in one place, the laws of other places are irrelevent to you. Period. If someone else aquires software that is contraban in their location, that person is in the only person within the jurisdiction to be enforced against.

It has to happen some way. Do it or pay the fines. Even if it doesn't work because anyone can lie about their age.

It does NOT have to happen.
Fuck that.
Fuck their authoritay.
It's not about age.
It is about SURVEILLANCE and CONTROL.

If they cared about kids they'd do something about the Epstein Class.

https://prism-break.org/en/ If they add surveillance and control to GNU/Linux it won't be free anymore.
