9·1 year agoYou’re saying France convicted people for terrorism purely because they used encryption? That’s a bold claim. What’s your source?
This might actually happen someday. Imagine: self-driving cars are the norm, car ownership is a thing of the past, you just hail an automatic cab and pay per ride.
In such a scheme the car company will probably know who you are, and the government could supply a blocklist of convicted criminals to prevent them from using their services.
They can still go after GitHub and GitLab. Even if they self-host, they could go after their domain registrar.
If browsers are forced to build this system to comply with French laws, it’s only a small step for other governments to leverage this new infrastructure and mandate bans on any website they don’t like.

As bad as that interview was, Danny had the perfect quip ready to go.

We seek out products that have received good reviews. Preferably lots of reviews and recently written. We’ve voted with our wallets and businesses have adapted.
Sure the feedback prompts are annoying. But we’re the ones who created the “problem”, and I can easily dismiss review prompts.
Since a business is at a competitive disadvantage if they’re the only ones not collecting high amounts of reviews, we’d need to level the playing field. I suppose you could create a law banning businesses from explicitly solliciting feedback, leaving it up to people to seek out a feedback form by their own initiative. But then you’ll have only complainers and people who are extremely enthusiastic.
