TL;DR: It'll use a new, more secure key type.

Much love and empathy, comrade.

This is the argument every single election. Every time, for decades, and yet things get continually worse.

I'd argue the belief that voting for an establishment party is any kind of a long-term solution is the biggest threat. By all means do it if it'll help a little in the short term, but the ship's still sinking.

And does anything require Python v2 anymore? I work almost exclusively in Python and haven't run into that in many years.

If I wasn't a slave constantly in fear of malnourishment, illness, homelessness, police violence, jail and/or pain, I might not care so much.

The association of the internet with mass amounts CSAM or Terrorist information. It's a line that governments have been pushing ever since the internet evolved from 'weird invention' to 'vague sense of threat to the integrity of nationstates'.

Are these real problems that need addressing? Absolutely. Though on a much smaller scale than gets exclaimed. And rather than the priority being hunting down perpetrators, the effort almost exclusively goes into shutting down or bugging any server that law enforcement's whim decides. The reality is that with end-to-end encryption, most "real" criminals on the internet will be entirely unaffected, while the created laws are instead mostly used for political censorship, the 'war on drugs', etc.

As a line, it's pretty much used to justify every act of censorship, privacy invasion, and restriction on the internet that satisfies a government's awful interests.

Assuming people are using words in the way they are widely and commonly accepted to mean (I mean, just look at Wikipedia for an easy starting point) is not a bad thing?

The CEO of Brave literally supports Censorship so hard that he wants to censor gay marriage out of existence - this actually affects people in real life. When you use Brave, you directly support that individual and their shitty politics.

OP, politics aside, it seems like you have a genuinely unhealthy obsession with having these arguments. If you don't feel you're getting any meaningful discussion or engagement out of those conversations, then stop.

To be honest, I'm fine with people having instance blocking, but how does widespread instance blocking not equally lead to the 'echo chamber' problem that people also dislike?

A good starting point to learning as any; Like most Western news stories about China - The Winnie the Pooh thing (while also having ominous racist tones) is also just an entirely made up story with no basis in reality. The Pooh brand is alive, unsuppressed, and found throughout China.
