You see this time and time again, some initiative to "just introduce some backdoors, what could go wrong", and then it takes some time for people who understand what it actually means to convince them that it is in fact a really bad idea and it would be a giant disaster.

- exodust 3y ago> until the public gets too exhausted I see this theory pop up around here every few months. Where does it come from? I suspect it's a meme without basis. Can you please name one time in history where the public gets "exhausted", and as a consequence unwanted legislation is passed?

- codeptualize 3y agoI’m not too worried about that as I assume it’s not (just) the public but also lobby groups and industries who have an interest in this. It’s not that hard to explain what would happen and any politician will understand doing something like this would be quite bad for their career. I do agree that they will keep trying, but the chance of it happening seems slim, as there is just no way to implement this.
