Also good to know that this ID verification shit is also apparently coming to Czech Republic. So goodbye to the plans of hosting this instance in my home country if that passes. (It will, previous government now in opposition also wanted it.)

@phnt
you don't need feds when you have people doing their work for free

@daemonspudguy Believe it or not, this is sadly the general opinion of the public on this issue. If it "saves children from predators", which was also partly the context for this conversation I posted about, then almost anything flies.

@theorytoe @phnt Just give us your ID bro, I promise we won't fingerprint you everywhere and this DEFINITELY will NEVER be used for surveillance and monitoring because it's not being used for surveillance and monitoring right at this second and we literally never go back on our promises it's just a little bit of data maximization don't you wanna protect the kids, bro?

@snacks Legally it is probably both. In the case of UK, you will get ofcommed as a UK company with servers elsewhere, or as a company elsewhere with servers in UK. And UK is one of the example laws that others are getting "inspired" by. The owner part can likely be solved by running the instance under an LLC somewhere.

@theorytoe It's worse if you read the thread further. The guy wants the government to take care of his kids basically.

@lain @theorytoe I've outsourced my parenting to the iPad already. Where's the problem?

@lain @theorytoe @phnt Is it the government being raped?
