Looking at KDE's Statement

General
1

At the bottom of the discuss.kde.org it states:

“A world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy.”

In view of ever increasing restrictions on how technology is used and on who can access technology, how is KDE addressing this issue?

To put things into context, yesterday I got this message from PSN when I booted my PS4 Pro:

1000015047
10000150471920×1440 370 KB

So I scanned the QR Code but before proceeding I looked at the FAQ. One explained that PSN is not dealing with this, but a third party, Yoti.

I did some research and found that while Yoti has never suffered a security breach they have been fined €950,000 for breaching GDPR by holding data longer than required and collecting facial and fingerprint data without user consent.

Any thoughts?

As a consequence of this stance I have DM’d all my Friends on PSN stating it is likely to be my last message, and also warned them about Yoti.

Let’s not sleepwalk into 1984.

Seems some discussion is taking place here: Age assurance laws - #33 by Sebastian_Sauer

We’ve been there a while - just last week I watched again this: ITV The War You Dont See. We already know the answers, but pretend that we still need to ask.

It’s basically the way the Elite work, the media line up behind them and the people follow the media… This is basically the same kind of thing they’re trying to strangle, and the level of control is why the Epstein files can’t be released - because it’s not WHAT they did, it’s how they do it.

Now Trump can publicly break the law and laugh in your face, and lawmakers that will uphold the law will be gone.
