They had been, but they're also the part of the West that censors
speech.

The mere fact that a European country is in the Five Eyes Alliance means
that there will be interest in breaking all systems featuring any kind
of encryption for the benefit of the states there. That means that any
operating system being sold or even hosted in that area will need to
follow the law. It will become necessary to hold onto hardware which
doesn't follow that law and use an operating system which isn't being
sold and also isn't being hosted in any of the areas where these laws
are in effect. If that's not possible, I imagine that it would be
possible to disable or break the client-side scanning or keylogging
post-install, but who knows for sure?

To be honest, it's kind of unbelievable how just in the time of
Win11's being current, we've seen this manifest.  I liked Win11 when I
first used it.  I would *never* *think* of going back to M$, now.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
