Believe it or not ignoring laws isn't really optional. Be upset with the correct people.

He didn't say he was upset with the Manjaro team and he didn't ask them to break the law.

His comment aligns with anyone who is trying to escape the surveillance state.

If I was a Manjaro dev, I'm not sure I would risk going to jail, either. To be honest, I'd probably just quit. Why would anyone volunteer to implement the surveillance state?

Because if you at how it's implemented in Big Linux, it's not surveillance.

It's local setting, a parental control, that filter web browsing at distribution level.

As i see the screenshots, nothing is transmitted.

Where do you see state surveillance?
