No need for special lobbying - store needs to remain to allow installation of new software. Otherwise people would delete everything and be left with no way to fix it themselves.
They don't need to break end to end encryption to allow tracing source of message. They just need to implement a message signing scheme similar to PGP with their server holding public key registry and keep those signatures (as hidden part of payload) while forwarding messages. This way after getting device with final message you can check original author. Obviously it does not solve every possible case (eg copying just content instead of using forward function), but should be enough for all those chain letter like scare stories.
AGPL is much to weak for their purpose. Amazon or Google would have no problem with complying with its terms and still offering the service to customers. The problem here is money that author company doesn't get and not getting some mythical code modifications..
They don't want AGPL as its to weak. AGPL basically only protects their product directly from closed modifications. It does nothing for "XXX has been installed and configured on your instance YYY. Code is available in ZZZ". What they want is something so extensive as to prevent this whole field of exploitation altogether so that they can get monopoly for cloud service.
Depends on the extent of your translation. If you just copy functionality with your code, then you created independent product (ignoring all those weird api copyrights issues). If you copy original code basically function by function then you just created derived work and original copyright influences your work.
Requirement will be for 30% EU content, not for specific country content. Some countries may require part of this to be their local productions, but its optional.
"Viola said that, starting in December, the EU’s 28 member states would have 20 months to apply these new norms and that countries “could choose to raise the quota from the 30% minimum to 40%.” EU nations can each choose whether the 30% includes sub-quotas on original productions in their countries and whether they want to follow the German model of adding a small surcharge on streamer subscription fees to support the national production fund."
TFA is wrong. If you follow their source, you will find: "Viola said that, starting in December, the EU’s 28 member states would have 20 months to apply these new norms and that countries “could choose to raise the quota from the 30% minimum to 40%.” EU nations can each choose whether the 30% includes sub-quotas on original productions in their countries and whether they want to follow the German model of adding a small surcharge on streamer subscription fees to support the national production fund."
So its basically 30 - 40 % EU stuff, but some countries may probably require some part of it to be fully local.
You realize this "more open" here means only that phone will potentially come without google apps like Chrome, but instead with some weird "$manufacturer browser" and "$manufacturer mail" instead, right? You as a user will not be getting any real benefits, those will go to manufacturers and carriers as you will be stuck with all the crapware they install in the same way you are now.
This might be a valid strategy for Firefox future. They destroyed their original advantage of powerful extensions, so they need something new to attract people. Privacy focus just might be it, but if so they really need to emphasize it in their advertising. At least Chrome is unlikely to truly compete with them in this field.
For exactly one hour. Also I suspect its theoretical - while this would be cost of computing power it would need to be actually available for rent. If you go down the list you find more practical targets eg Bytecoin with market cap of over 1B$ and cost of attack under 600$/h
Facebook is not that important in Russia, certainly not as much as in Europe or NA. They have only about 35% of the market penetration compared to almost almost 61% of VKontakte (source: https://www.statista.com/stati...) so they can be reasonably blocked without massive issues. I also expect that most of those seriously affected would be outside Putin's power base.
As for sideloading: they can simply go after larger repositories (block telegram or we block you). They are unlikely to be able to block small sites (eg blogs), but removing "official" sources is likely to kill more then 99% of app market share in Russia and if they really care they can go after users then.
They are banning the users from further purchases, but they still respect return policy for old ones. In general there are no laws to force someone into doing business with you.
Robots.txt will not work as they started ignoring it (https://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-search-engines-dont-work-well-for-web-archives/), but the email method still works.
Ukraine is to small, the longest distance I managed to find (google maps distance tool) was about 800 miles. Turkey only reaches this in its Asian part. Greenland doesn't really count as Europe as its NA. You also missed Sweden and Norway, they are quite long in their N-S axis
At this point we are already talking about distributions. If this laptop somehow came with only kernel and gnu stuff it would be pretty useless too (arguably even more as android at least comes with some essential software such as web browser) .

Its not that bad - at least it IS a current news story. Often we get old, not really tech stories.
Commons Clause is NOT creative commons
Common Clause is NOT creative commons. Its a clause that you put on other license to mark it "forbidden to sell or commercially profit from"
Depends on the extent of your translation. If you just copy functionality with your code, then you created independent product (ignoring all those weird api copyrights issues). If you copy original code basically function by function then you just created derived work and original copyright influences your work.
People that read all this legal stuff are already aware of it, so such clause is entirely superfluous. All the rest will just press "Next" anyway.
Translation is generally considered derived work and so covered by copyright

Nope.

There is some, but its a small niche.

The only countries in Europe with such long straight line territory seem to be Sweden, Norway and Russia. Also Turkey, but its in their Asian part
