what is UT's stance on forced ID compliance?

developerbayman

im totally against it in all forms pylinux will NOT be falling in line ....its not to protect the children ...name one child that has a ID or a passport? ....all it is is a path to shoe horn total surveillance ...elimination privacy one bleeding heart lie at a time
...im violently against this because i see it exactly for what it is ...another lie

....if they really cared about the children everyone on the list would be hanged
i would encourage UT to NOT comply based on the fact UT's core value's is privacy and security but i think we should talk about it

..lol p.s im also being a drama queen pylinux is all raw python i couldnt enforce it if i wanted to

@developerbayman There are going to be many points of view on this and there are many new news articles appearing about this and the way different countries and in the US, states are approaching it. At the moment you have to be philosophical about it as you probably well know, that most of the users of devices will not be bothered and comply, otherwise their life becomes more awkward than it already is. Case in point is the UK's Internet Safety Act which created a massive uptake in VPN subscriptions. This has now caused the UK regulatory body Ofcom to starts "monitoring" this, wherever that is going to lead.
The long point though is this is the precursor to Government "Digital id" and I think we all know where that is going to go (Social Exclusion like certain countries, even 1984) but I think we will have to cross that bridge when digital id is enforced.
However the sad part is that it is going to stifle free thought and invention as non compliance is going to force out the free and free thinking innovators not tied to a Global corporation like Apple or Google due to local, state and countrywide sanctions for non-compliance or not being able to comply.
I am sure it has and will be discussed. I am sure legislators will be lobbied. What I am sure of though is most legislators will toe a line to comply to their political parties leanings and will fail to see the ramifications of what this will cause.

I don't think UT needs to do anything about it especially right away. It's not a worldwide thing anyway. In my opinion, there's no need to worry about it.

@MrT10001 yeah i was wondering about the U.K and other places ...i just cant see it happening like also i see it a real tell who the psychopaths in our world is ...basically anyone who is for all this totalitarian trying to snuff out freedom ......my whole goal is to steal enough tools before they make free thought illegal ...then ill move underground and become king of the mole people!!! ALL HAIL ME KING OF THE MOLE PEOPLE!!!

@kugiigi Thats the problem, it is not worldwide, it is a countrywide thing and each country and in the US, states, have their own legislation that can impose fines through their own regulatory bodies for what is an infringement of their law. Apple have started a blanket implementation of age id on their latest iteration of iOS. You just have to look at what’s happening in Brazil over their compliance law (lots of gray areas). In the UK Imgur.com have region blocked the UK over the Internet safety Act and age compliance. Then there is Australia.....

There is a lot of naivety amongst politicians over the ramifications of these laws and I would not like to see Ubuntu Touch, let alone any open source project be sanctioned in a country that has decided it does not conform to their laws.

@MrT10001 lol when you say sanctioned immediately im thinking of nintendo and that emulator they made shit down ....it was like the most forked repo at the time or something like that
