You can’t demand anything from open source becasue I can just change the demands myself. Linux is free from this nonsense.

What I’m worried about is whether we’ll be able to connect to anything else. With open source, sure you can remove age gates, but with device attestation coming to a device near you, you won’t be he able to log into your favorite game or website.
Its already like that with CloudFlare randomly blocking my Firefox on Linux install occasionally.

That’s why local networks are beginning to pop up. We’re working on a scaled-down version of Internet for the kids in our estate. So far, it’s to control what they have access to, and to provide them with a safe social network. But I can see this growing to localised “Internet” instances for everybody.
