        <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>
