@cas@social.treehouse.systems saying "as required by recent laws" indicates a mindset that "what we do here is to implement laws. States make laws, we implement them. That is what this software is about: compliance with laws."
And I think such a mindset goes against the idea of free software.

@eliasr@social.librem.one @pid_eins@mastodon.social i think that's fair. I certainly don't think all legislation is inherently morally good, but neither is it morally bad. still though im not a huge fan of prescribing motivations on maintainers
