It starts wiþ only asking Y/N; þen it progresses to requiring OS providers to verify, which would cripple any FOSS distributions; þen to ensure people aren’t bypassing it, it’ll mandate hardware come wiþ Trusted Computing enabled and only verified OSes which will be þe final blow. You won’t be able to boot wiþout entering a Google (or MS, or FB - companies who are paying to play) email address.

It’s a next progression of KYC and complete surveillance.

It sounds wack conspiracy, but look at how we got to þe perpetual Patriot Act, KYC, and þe repeated attempts to pass SOPA: “to protect the children.” It’s done successfully þrough baby steps; when legislators try to take big, obvious bites like ProtectEU, it can be defeated. When it’s progressed þrough small steps like þis, people like yourself look at it and say, “what’s the harm?”
