And things like automatic detection and direct message surveillance like these regulators are asking for?
Well, if those become necessary I'll just have to add Mastodon, along with anything known too well, in the bin for government-ruined software and start using hidden services... I will never willfully comply to spyware, not even (read: especially not) government-approved ones.
I have no idea if Mastodon has any plans adding those to the instance software though... Probably will if they get lawfully obligated I suppose, but I still sincerely hope not (as I still also sincerely hope this proposal gets dismissed for the obvious contradicting privacy laws it breaks and the vulnerabilities of backdoors).
