<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>
Axel<br>
