I was about to answer the same.
We all feel really concerned about the Open Source, of course, but
could not interfer with politics.
If you have a personnal blog, that's were you should discuss about
personnal feelings/ideas.

In France we have something called HADOPI, a new an completly wrong
law that let the governement the possibility to cut your internet
connexion: they want to blacklist people… They only have the ipv4
adress to match your internet traffic with your real name, which is
completly crazy. They even want to do more: add a mandatory
governement spy in your Operating System (of course guys up there
don't undersand Linux things).
