Amazingly stupid it may be, but it is also a typical decision. This is how copyright rolls in Europe.
Over the last few years, the media has managed to create this narrative where a few US companies make billions by violating the rights of Europeans and stealing their data. This case was US companies against European data owners. Social media is full of people accounts calling for more law enforcement to fight back. Well, here you go.
So you know where this is going.
Speaking of which. Attie is supposed to enable anyone to create this sort of thing, although Claude Code is way overkill for the examples given.
You misunderstand. They are not exempt at all. F-Droid is exempt from collecting their identities.
The people in these AI hate mobs are generally the opposite of tech-savvy. You’d have to know what weird ideas they have about this.

I doubt it. EU regulations demand all manner of documentation, including who supplied software. Tech companies should also protect users and enforce “our” laws, which means a lot of surveillance.
App stores already have to do developer verification, under the celebrated DMA.
There’s a pro-business loophole meant to keep bureaucracy low. Very small companies are exempted. It’s kind of ironic, because Lemmy usually hates this kind of pro-business anti-regulation thing. To be fair, using this loophole to shield devs, as F-Droid wants, is an abuse. It’s only meant to allow small companies to grow until they have the resources to handle the verification.

Ok. I’m sure AGI-1 and AGI-2 weren’t real AGI. What number is the real AGI? Is it AGI-3?
Someone who uses the /s is no better than an emoji user.
But the parents are doing it wrong! Most don’t even disown their kids when they come out as gay or trans; which is the fault of social media anyway.
ARC-AGI-3
What happened to ARC-AGI-1 and -2?
Yes, but everyone on Lemmy knows that the law only applies to the bad guys.
Yes, of course. Bluesky is also social media and so the precedent set by these cases will apply to it. Besides, knowledge of a subject does tend to affect your judgment.
The New Mexico court heard how Meta’s 2023 decision to encrypt Facebook Messenger – its direct messaging platform, which predators have used as a tool to groom minors and exchange child abuse imagery – blocked access to crucial evidence of these crimes.
Encryption! These monsters!
In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.
The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.
And when that happens, the headline lemmings here will call it enshittification and call for even harsher rules.
Yeah, so I’m holding off celebrating this “historic win” for protecting the children.
Best guess about the downvotes: UK lawmakers have already discussed VPN crackdowns. Not sure at what stage the proposals are. So it’s not a slippery slope argument. Such laws are part of what builds a Great Firewall.
Why the downvotes?
That made sense at a time when media was physical and could be stopped at the border. There are no border posts in the internet.
So now we could either a) make the copyright industry draw up new licenses that make sense for the internet, or b) make everyone else spend billions to create and suffer border posts in the internet.
