When I said privacy respecting software, I definitely did not mean windows or Mac lol. Open source is the only way to actually know something respects your privacy, so both those pieces of software are inherently not that. Linux for life!
That’s like already the thing, if I modify my little “secure encrypted sharing protocol” windows will flag it as a virus if I send it (the software) to someone … Then after some time it’s ok. Guess it’s about those antivirus heuristics, but it’s not like it’s not putting a big stick in my bicycle wheel.
How would such a ban ever be enforceable?
If you are using Windows or mac, they will be first in line to implement “protection” against “insecure software” :)
Or Android with Google Play. It already does this BS, even if you disable scanning.
Lineage/Graphene/DivestOS here I come.
Yesterday Google play kindly un-installed KDE connect for my “security” as it is a “dangerous app”
I promptly re-installed from f-Droid.

Ostensibly via TCPA.
Fuck thats terifying.
How are many other similar bans enforceable? Like CSM itself. With a lot of difficulties.
It wouldn’t be, on Linux at least
Unless TCPA is implemented by manufacturers.
Gamers are here and coming in mass and don’t care about FOSS or security, so I won’t hold my breath.
