EU politicians are exempt from this measure. They thought it all the way through. (Edit: seems that the statement above applies to ChatControl 2.0, not the approved text. Apologies…

I ran BeOS as a daily driver for a few months in the early 2000s. I had a winmodem and Linux couldn't connect to the internet for me, but for some reason, BeOS had drivers, so I us…
