Things hard to differentiate, as it seems:

A software getting a new onwer does not make the software insecure, non-free, or otherwise bad.

A tool getting a new database field does not make the tool a surveillance tool.

---

A new owner changing the license of a software makes the software non-free.

A system operator abusing a database field for surveilannce makes them a supporter of surveillance.

@[email protected] The problem is that #SystemD even considered this #Cyberfascist shitshow, instead of *Refusing to Comply* as a matter of principle! - Because once they bended to #Cyberfascism, they'll continue to get abused and shafted! - I.e. #Russia demanding *"#KYC"* for any #WiFi device or - *"P.R."* #Chiba mandating a #Kernel-side block of @[email protected] / #Tor & #VPN|s. Not a fan of #VPNs but @[email protected] 's right with their *"#AndThen?"* #ad campaign…
