Wow, such democracy. Much freedom of movement.

@aral What's the source for this?

@lyrial @aral it is true. When one is below 45 years and wants to leave for more than 3 months, one requires a permit. Whether that would hold up before the supreme court is to be seen. For that they have to enforce it and one guy must sue.

It is a disgrace.

@prefec2 It's not new, though. It's the same rules that already were in place for us before 2011. @lyrial @aral

@HeptaSean You’re wrong. Before the beginning of this year, this was only necessary in times of military tension or defence. Now the permission is necessary at all times.

@prefec2 @lyrial @aral

@Fnordinger No, _you_ are wrong. The restriction to tension and defence was only _introduced_ in 2011. For most of us older people, the exact same rule was in place the whole time up until 2011. @prefec2 @lyrial @aral
@HeptaSean But it was only active in two scenarios as explained by §2 and further explained with sources in my orher reply to you
