Europe, mercantilism in the 21st century

The new law that is intended to be passed after the summer Cyber Resilience Act will require software to be kept up to date and up to date with security patches. Failure to do so could result in fines of up to 15 million euros.

It affects both proprietary and opensource software, tell me now, what motivation will a developer have to make a non-profit software and face possible fines of 15 million euros for a security flaw? Or even a for-profit software, but with a small profit, how does he face those possible million euro fines? Who benefits from this?

Regulations are always bad, regulations is legislating in favor of the powerful and the state, when someone advocates Bitcoin regulation it is a textbook red flag.

Everything that is happening is very dangerous, states are regulating more than ever, they want to destroy private communications, open source, any hint of individual initiative, Europe and the US want us to be at the mercy of large corporations and therefore at the mercy of the state.

We need decentralized and anonymous opensource repositories and above all, to disobey.
