<p>Do we have any official stance against the planned / threatened
changes of what is likely going to be the next British
Government?</p>
<p>After the Tories have already signed into law the so called
"Snooper Charter" Theresa May now wants to band crypto
technologies, free open source operating systems, block major
code repositories like Github / Sourceforge and OS makers
ordered to only allow white listed software to run.</p>

<p>I am of course not sure how much of this is even factual but I
think it should definitely be discussed by both Thunderbird and
Mozilla's councils and some public statements warning against
these myopic tendencies should be made.</p>
<p>I know that most of these proposals are probably not even
enforceable but make no mistake, if there is no resistance, then
laws on this can be made. So it would be great of there were
some official statements from our combined open source
communities.<br>
</p>
<p>thanks,<br>
