I was about to post something similar to you when I your post arrived.
Some points
You are in the USA, hence under USA law without a doubt, hence you and other citizens must obey your laws or suffer the serious consequences.kkremitzki wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:10 pm Another very interesting tool in this regard is https://radicle.xyz/ which uses IPFS (Interplanetary File System) to provide a git repository, issue tracker, and pull request system in a decentralized manner. Still rather early but it has potential.
FreeCAD moving the infrastructure to a more rational, reasonable, country/region is utterly useless if we still have USA residents accessing or particularly having any control over the infrastructure. So for example if we decided to move to Europe for example, then we need Europeans or at least non-USA residents to fully take over all control positions. Otherwise you USA residents can just be arrested/charged with breaking the law, a law seen as very serious, and suffer the consequences.
Moving the infrastructure by itself clears the organisation potentiality from USA laws, but absolutely not the individuals if they are personally under USA laws then they are still responsible for breaching the laws, even if the organisation is not.
My comments about Europe were IF they don't do the same thing, but if they do then there is no point anyway.
As we have just seen with TOR and our resent spam flood, these stupid "privacy" systems can just as easily become a tool for criminals. Government and police etc. are not fundamentally wrong or evil, they are a necessary functional part of our societies. They need to be just, good/kind, credible, functional non-corrupt etc. but this idea that we don't need them at all is stupid and childish. We need more good quality law enforcement on the Internet not less. The amount of scams, spam, terrorism, etc. is beyond anything reasonable.
You two may be suffering from inaccuracies due to translation, but you are so totally wrong. A modern democratic country works on the principle that you have the right to change (or at least attempt to change) the law...but not break the law.
Depends greatly on how exactly you word you comment, many would disagree with you depending on the exact details. If you mean one country's government decides for the world then yes, that is very bad, and we should be pressuring our own governments to not just follow along like sheep but make up our own minds and implement our own informed, carefully considered, responses. However most I think will agree that we have all had enough of bad governments/countries however you personally define "bad", which will not be the same for all. Most want to see our governments do something to stop "bad" behaviour without going to war and killing another tens of millions in yet another war or world war. So most people want sanctions pressure etc. of some sort against the most extreme countries/governments at least.
