Regardless of how this goes I for one will be holding onto whatever Linux ISO's do not contain this crap and holding onto old hardware. If that means I can not access websites then so be it. The problem solves itself
for me anyway... My plan is to eventually be 100% brick and mortar business and support the local businesses to the best of my ability. As for security patches I will forego them and just make each OS read-only and not put sensitive data anywhere near it. Making most operating systems ephemeral is not really that hard these days.
I wish the best of luck to all OS and app developers to keep the fascistic API's out of their code.
