The world is locking down their OS/eco-system via age-gate keeping and mandatory government IDs in order for you to use any of the mainstream OS and devices, android, ios, etc.
Now is the time for open platform/os to be pushed heavily to fight back heavy handed government and corporation collusion and control.
There is never a better time than now to aggressively push Linux, open web, open mobile devices to fight back government tyranny and overreach.
If there’s no effort made to fight back, I guarantee you they will come for OPEN SOURCE and ban it for not complying with government ID mandates which completely violates OSS foundational values.
All OSS advocates must come up with the plan now to push for this in anticipation of global tech tyranny and lockdown of the industry/eco-system.
