They Try to Ruin Linux, Too ("Attestation" in GNU/Linux)
Yesterday: "Attestation" Mandated in US If American Politicians Get Their Way
We would be missing or skipping a potentially big story/issue if we didn't mention the above, at least in passing.
The issue is not a partisan matter, contrary to what Microsoft Lunduke tries to accomplish (dividing people, as usual). It's a longstanding, uniparty objective in the United States and other Western nations.
Will platforms be required to spy on and report on their users? If so, who to? Vendors? "App" companies? Regimes? How can this be imposed (without circumvention loopholes) on Free platform users? Will they ban Free platforms? Will they leave them out in the cold like with rootkits ("anti-cheat")?
To me it seems unlikely that such a bill would ever pass (they tried similar things before). Even if it did, GNU/Linux users would find ways around it.
In the context of Web browsers, this isn't unprecedented and we wrote a lot about it. █
