“The aim is to make people planning terrorist attacks in Austria feel less secure - and increase everyone else’s sense of security,” Joerg Leichtfried of the Social Democrats, the junior minister in charge of overseeing the Directorate for State Security and Intelligence (DSN), told a news conference.

Paradoxon.

“That is why this decision by the cabinet today is an important milestone in the fight against terrorism and spying in Austria,” he added.

What the fuck? You increase spying.

They’ll never understand, or never admit yo understanding, that if you put a door in a wall, everyone will exploit it. Just think of how city defense worked before flight. Every invader would go after the gate and it was much, much easier to penetrate than the rest of the wall. But in this case that gate will be totally unguarded, so anyone who figures out how to open it, will open it for everyone. And will make tools for others to use to unlock and open it easily and it will be very difficult to change it if it’s the same gate with the same key used by everyone. Imagine if door locks were all the same. No one would bother locking their doors if it was that easy to unlock instantly. And that’s what the real goal is. To make people stop using security.

And this is why we can never have nice things.

Will this affect Matrix? I use g24.at as my homeserver.

This western freedom. So free.
