i'm not interested in Twitter. I am interested in software repos like github. Those must be the front runners on implementing ekyc.
Good work!

By that logic than no solutions to any bullshit people don't want to deal with shouldn't be shared cause the government/company can just patch it. If it was so easy to patch these bypasses then why do ad blockers still exist and work?
Tools like these are always a cat and mouse game and open sourcing it gives you more resources than you can ever hope to have yourself.
You think government has speed to patch one hole before next discovered... you know how fast they are? One hole will take multiple year to even adress.
In Germany, for example, thanks to data retention laws, connection information such as IP addresses and their assignments is already being stored anyway.
This is wrong. Vorratsdatenspeicherung was ruled unconstitutional multiple time already. They always try to put in law again, but court will just throw out again.
And i know about the SEK raid caused by Andy "Pimmel" Grote.
Bypassing them will then be declared illegal.
But this do a huge ton of lifting for you. There cannot be blanket ban on bypass because what if use but not actually follow service rule. For example require id verify. Ok i use other person id. What now? This what i mean, cannot close loophole fast enough because text can always interpret in different way.
Sorry but I don't follow, what is your conclussion then, just don't get around the measures? You are saying that bypassing protections helps them fix the issues allowing the bypass by making them more visible, so what even is your concern if you are against tools to bypass them? You won't be able to bypass anything without them in the first place, so what are you trying to say? That we should keep the tools to a select group of people and not make them as broadly accessible?
If so, I oppose this thought quite a lot, as I believe that anti-surveillance tools should be as widespread as possible, to make it completely impractical to crack them down due to the sheer volume of people using them. Build more Tor nodes, radical servers, open-source alternatives and such.
And while some of the hacks being well known makes them easier to notice and fix, there is also more people who finds them valuable and can help in making them work. I don't ever see ads, and adblocking is very widely known and functional no matter how hard the baddies try. After the Nitter cease and desist I made my own instance at https://stopusingx.com to fight back, and I would never have done this if it wasn't out of spite. So I also feel that spreading concern and conclict is useful to make people aware of the issues we face.
Ok, I get you mean, but what is the point in waiting? You rightly said that the laws will come one way or another, so why even wait for them? The sooner the struggle begins and the more the public is aware, the bigger pur chance to fight back. If we wait until the thing is illegal to act, anyone trying to resist will have a harder time, because they will be doing it alone.
