lolwut? No. What point are you trying to make here?
When you say that Trump's EO's only affects the executive branch, it sounds like you're trying to say the EO doesn't matter. My point is that it does matter.
You compared Trump's EO to a federal law enacted by Congress. In that sense, it doesn't matter because those two have nothing in common in the slightest. Since you already understand EOs have a limited scope, than you know that this does nothing to stop open source software.
When I mentioned the TAKE IT DOWN act, we were talking about regulations in general. I did not equivocate laws to EOs. That said, this EO will have effects on regulatory agencies. Therefore, it will have an effect on software as we discussed, open source or not.
No. No it won't. I stand by my Pirate Bay example.
What are your thoughts on this? Is this not an effect on open-source due to regulation? https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/10/13/removal-of-mazda-connected-services-integration/
Enough with the damn fear mongering.
I pointed to an actual thing that already happened. How is that fear mongering?
