You're not wrong, however, how can you possibly say that it will always be optional?

These people are fundamentally polar opposite of the ethos of FOSS. The only reason they're not yet actively doing everything they can to outlaw this stuff completely is because most of the people making laws still have no idea it exists.

They want people to not own their own hardware, and at some point they will do everything they can to destroy Linux and FOSS. Mark my words.

This is very tinfoil hat. For every argument in one direction, there is an equal and opposite in the other. Time will tell indeed, but my bet is in the community to fork and continue the open nature. Not all are corrrupt american business

It's not just an American thing, "chat control" originated in Europe.
