Cool. Have fun trying to enforce it.
They won't enforce it on you. They enforce it on the manufactures
So you'll just have to pay more for an imported laptop that doesn't have this
You simply outlaw imports of noncompliant hardware. So you're limited to smugglers. When general computing is outlawed, only outlaws will have general computers.
I mean, we're already pirates. What is it to add outlaw?
even if you are forced to use their stuff for banking, state services and increasingly more?
at best we are looking at having private devices separate from corporate ones. we'd need both devices and services that are ours.
I'm already largely of the opinion this is necessary.
