Computing freedom and computer literacy 

Sure, side channels are hard to stop, but at least any leakage would be deliberate and illegal.

The regulations required would not need to be subtle. Just make personal data into a third rail: touch it outside the user's own jail or without their consent, and you die.

The EU might be convinced to pass such regulations while the main competition to steal Europeans' data is between the US and China. Data sovereignty won't cut it though.

Computing freedom and computer literacy 

@freakazoid This thread looks interesting, quite how we convince people that they need to also include teaching on software such as Linux, Fediverse and say LibreOffice is a different matter.

We need to generate the demand for that, both from a user view point and employers need to shift so the retraining demand is there.
