      Highlighting this as another example of the continuous creep towards end goal while explaining the increasing encroachment is incredibly useful for getting more eyes on the bigger picture.

        I get your point but all I see is still just people talking about slippery slopes and what they think will come next in very general terms. With Chat Control for example the discussion was a lot more concrete. He had information about very specific legislation and how it was progressing through the legislation and we had pressure campaigns on EU and national levels. It was so much different than complaining about some software complying with the law and how it should be resisting it instead. I simply think focusing so much on systemd is pointless and it’s not helping with the issue at all.

        But at this point it’s just my personal opinion and I might very well be wrong about it. I sure hope this will serve as some catalyst that will let people focus on the actual issue and fight it effectively. Right now I don’t see any effective action, only distractions, but since I’m not doing anything useful regarding this either I should just let people do what they see fit. Even if it’s just venting.
