Holy boomer, and I live near these people.

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.)

@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?

All the gay german laws would require me to someone else the one legally responsible for this server. I was considering asking georgia for a while

@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.

@phnt @theorytoe look there's two options:
1. you need to get permission and verification for everything you do from the government, with a complete paper trail of all websites you visit
2. your children watch 'hardcore rape scenes' all day.
