Are you sure it's a false statement?
- vkou 5y agoI'm pretty sure that not requiring proprietary software to access public interfaces when dealing with my government is not going stop the five eyes to stop spying on me. That's because my life does not solely revolve around my interactions with government. I am constantly required to use interfaces provided by private organizations, which can have whatever insane requirements that they wish. Also, I have better things to do with my life then spend half of it excising non-FOSS software from all of my devices and appliances. If the Mossad can listen to me through my toaster prior to passage of this law, I'm afraid that they will still be able to listen to me after it. I suppose I could throw my toaster out and buy a non-Mossad-backdoored one, but how am I to be confident that the new one wasn't backdoored by Bangladesh or Pyongyang?
