TASK DESCRIPTION
KDE Vision states that KDE opposes government control over devices and
believes freedom without privacy isn't really freedom.
But here's the thing: KDE isn't addressing bills that propose government
spyware on all devices, like the UK Online Safety Bill, EU Chat Control, and US
EARN IT Act.
This suggests that KDE developers don't consider surveillance and control by
truly benevolent parties as a violation of privacy and loss of agency, and that
Western democracies satisfy their criteria for true benevolence.
That's not obvious to everyone. KDE should explicitly state these exceptions
to avoid any misunderstandings. Thanks!
