The original japanese article.

The last part of the article was cut off. Here what it says, 2035: In most countries, messaging apps (including email clients) are considered “critical applications” that must undergo government approval before publication.

    You can’t even convince normal people this is bad. You really think there’s enough critical mass among naysayers to really matter? I can (and do) only run Linux at home, but as soon as my bank switches over to requiring this bullshit, I’m going to have to play along on a different device.

      I gave up that fools game 20 years ago.

      People cling to their ignorance like nothing else. If they care about this, they will have to actually start looking at the world as it is and that is an existential dread they will avoid to their dying day.

      You really think there’s enough critical mass among naysayers to really matter?

      Nope. naysayers have never been more than single digit percentages. See my first sentence as to why.

      MS cannot do this sort of thing to the market because they don’t control the market anymore.

      It is the equivalent of MTV trying to dictate how music is consumed while spotify and all the other music streaming services exist.
