[FSFLA] Fwd: Re: [Internet Policy] ISOC calls for stronger encryption @G20

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Hm... This thing you say about KVM and virtual environments in a "host"
for which there's no importance on how far it is... this sounds
confusing...

Morever, if the "host" is indeed distant from the user, and the user
somehow has to make use of some virtual environment that is in the host,
then this can be considered something similar to a "rented server", and
in such cases the user is better of having *full* control of what he
wants or doesn't want to use inside that virtual environment (including
operating system, like GNU, and kernel, like the ones generated by GNU
Linux-libre scripts), otherwise this virtual environment can be
considered Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS), due to reasons
being exposed at
[[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html]].

Remember, non-(free/libre) software (or even further, functional data)
in virtual environments is still an issue, no matter if it has no
Internet connection. Although it is a minor issue compared to one not
inside a virtual environment and with Internet connection, it will still
come back to "haunt us" again, and again, and again until we, society,
replace it entirely with free/libre software.

Morever, I would like to express my difficulty during my attempts to
understand the discussion, as it seems to me that the punctuation is
somehow misplaced.

Finally, as for the real subject of this discussion (stronger
encryption) perhaps we should suggest for these world-grade public
organizations related to technology to foster the use and contribution
to things such as GNUnet (for site publishing, and also for distributed
content sharing, which can also be mutable and "roll-backed",
differently from torrents, which when published cannot be changed
anymore), GNU Ring (for distributed communications), Bitmessage
(distributed e-mail), Twister (distributed microblogging) and GNU Taler
(for electronic payments with *any currency*). I suggested all of these
because they are all trying their best to guarantee user anonymity,
Internet existence through distribution (instead of federation, or even
worse: centralization), and also are trying to guarantee use of stronger
encryption.

NOTE I still have to start using Twister, Bitmessage and GNU Taler, but
at least I thought of making the suggestions. :)
