I am not the least bit surprised coming from the authors of the “E2EE must be banned” and the main promoters of the ever lurking chat control law. One thing we have to hand it to europol, they are very transparent in their desire for a police state.

Bah, a bad copy that pretends to impersonate a product, in order to sell personal data.
Don’t wait for it, usage data is valuable to them.
I noticed that while using phind and perplexity. Its context is vitiated with results from sites that rig SEO, which are almost copy/paste with the same garbage, so instead of answering the question it makes a useless summary of them. Even asking chatgpt usually gives more correct answers.
They could also perform some additional iterations with other models on the result to verify it, or even to enrich it; but we come back to the issue of costs.
You gave an example where it is possible to install linux and only basic functionality is required, but what do you think happens with almost all mobile devices?
When it is not possible to change OS/ROM, or they are old, there is no alternative… apart from being stuck with an obsolete OS and apps full of known bugs. Or are you “competent” enough to develop everything yourself?
That people choose not to identify with an adversary country was quite obvious. Ethnic and linguistic obstacles in education, celebrations, institutions, etc. are common for minorities everywhere, even within the EU.
As for media and religious censorship, it also applies to the rest of russia, typical of a dictatorship. Honestly, I expected something much worse.
Perhaps having different categories with different limitations would work well. Using the firefox example, prioritize the use of WebExtensions, but keep XUL/XPCOM with appropriate warnings.
The website can’t know this, but the government can easily (and I bet will) link an identity to a token, and know where and when it is used. It can also request metadata on usage of a token, which websites will no doubt want to store.
That the government can track this sort of thing is bad enough, but I’m especially concerned that it or both parties will leak/share/sell their databases, allowing anyone to do the same.
