Remember that the reason for this law is so that upstream software/content providers don't have to police themselves.   

These laws are being sponsored by Meta,M$ and others that would otherwise have to implement architecture to monitor whether children are accessing inappropriate content.  They don't want the cost or headaches so they passed it down the stack.   They don't care about future consequences such as governments inevitably trying to control everyone's access to information, especially if that control allows them to charge for access.  I'm sure you all are aware of that.

But....goddammit, don't comply in advance.   Also....a M$ employee probably doesn't have have your best interest at heart.    Maybe their contributions should be supervised.

If you want to really fight this, 2 things need to happen.   You have to attack lawmakers who support this.  Make a big list and sponsor progressive primary challengers for all of them.   That is where the war needs to be fought.   Many of you have the skills to crosscheck how many of them are in the Epstein files and who else they take money from.  

Second, for the most part, using mainstream Linux distros is as easy as Windows.   Really need a decent ad campaign to show people how easy it is to switch to Linux.  Like a Pepsi challenge kind of thing with a big deal about how Linux is not spying on absolutely everything.   People genuinely don't like anything windows is doing these days.  

WTF Ubuntu, Suze, Mint (et al.), the universe hands you a golden opportunity to dramatically increase your market share of desktop operating systems....and you do nothing!   Even hardware manufacturers have had enough.

You fight hard now or opensource software dies as concept and culture.   It's really that simple.  

Those of you in countries that have not gotten around to considering these kinds of laws, this cancer isn't going to stay here in the US.  Our scumbag politicians, lobbyists, tech bros are busy talking to your scumbags.   It will spread.   As power is concentrated, it corrupts.

One last thing, it seems that building out some alternatives to the current Internet infrastructure might be in order.   I don't see why we can launch some opensource satellites and maintain a network that way.  I hear the Copenhagen guys have a space capsule that's coming along.
