#righttointeroperability — Public Fediverse posts

#RightToRepair should be enough but it's not because it gets (re)interpreted as

"a right to get it repaired by a licensed & authorise repair shop"

We need better!

We need a #RightToSalvage w/o having to ask permission or pay for authorisation

We need a #RightToInteroperability so things work together

We need a #RightToPreserve to keep our culture from disappearing

We need a #RightToEncryption to have a private life

We need a #RightToInformation to get the schematics, repair manuals, etc

If I was the EU:

I'd get as far away from USA tech, economy, & thinking, become as incompatible as possible

I'd expand consumer laws: #RightToRepair, #RightToSalvage, #RightToInteroperability, #RightToPreserve, #RightToEncryption, #RightToHack, etc…

Rewrite tax laws so that you can only get a tax write-off on anything digital if you release it as open source

I'd massively invest in alternatives for the internet, which don't use the internet protocol stack, like meshcore, reticulum, etc…

#DigitalIndependence starts with moving away from proprietary software and switching to #OpenSource

Next, perhaps learn to write small programs which can be combined and work together?

And we need better #PropertyRights: #RightToRepair #RightToSalvage w/o asking permission, approval, or authorisation #RightToInteroperability #RightToTinker #RightToEncryption #RightToDIY w/o middlemen

Government, Organisations, Companies, etc should work towards #DigitalSovereignty & #DigitalIndependence) since given their size they can leverage law in their contracts with other parties

Natural persons, (found) families, informal communities usually lack leverage of any kind and should work towards #DigitalIndependence
