Robert KingettI just boosted a question, but I have a slightly reworded question. Why is Linux and FOSS tripping over themselves to comply with Fascism surveillance capitalism instead of the long established international and national accessibility laws and accessibility guidelines and disability inclusion guidelines? Surely, one thing is better than the other, no? And it ain't Fascism surveillance capitalism that's the better option. #Linux #FOSS
Demi Marie Obenour@WeirdWriter Because they are not willing to put themselves at legal risk to oppose them when there are much bigger things to be concerned about. Things like the wave of anti-trans laws and the accessibility stuff you mentioned.
bimbo savant (cow arc)@alwayscurious @WeirdWriter age verification is part of the anti-trans laws. that's why all the states introducing it are transphobic. they view transness as porn and deviance, and identity verification lets them control who can see the deviance, and track the ones that do.
we have to fight this war on all fronts, because all the fronts are the same war.
