- Why don't people ever realize that the more Liberal a government is, the more control they will demand from our lives.by elmer2
- Didn't this bill get amended to clarify that no encryption back doors are required?by singpolyma3
- I’m more curious about Tailscale. How would this law, or these types of laws, affect them?by teamspirit
- Problem is, where do you take a company like this if you want peace of mind that the new host country won't immediately try to pass a similar law?by LorenDB
- I’m more concerned about OpenBSD. Given how centralized the project governance is, and its base in Canada, I can imagine the government attempting to (for example) force the project to serve backdoored images or updates to targeted people. A backdoor or bugdoor in the source would probably be spotted by someone, and I’m not even sure the bill allows a broad tool like that, but that’s not the only way to compromise software users.
Fortunately the mirrors are distributed, so maybe that reduces the risk.
