So how much electricity will be used to power the data centers to plagiarize Chuck Tingle and Danielle Steele so someone can quickly self-publish their pedantic wet-dream fantasy... Sorry, "magnum opus"

I use AntennaPod on my phone - highly recommended.
Every time I hear someone say something like, "Experts - what do they know?", I want to reply, "Yeah, you're right - now, when can I come by to fix your roof? I'm not a roofer - don't know shit about roofing or construction, actually - but you don't like experts, and I'm certainly not a roofing expert, just another ignorant monkey with a hammer and a lot of misplaced confidence in my abilities. "
This device looks really interesting, but I don't see anything on their site about how I can write software for Light Phone, or install anything except what they provide through their app.
How is that any different from what Google plans to do to Android?
There's a similar bill working it's way through the Senate here in the US.
The Kid's Online Safety Act has the same problems as the one in the UK, and people here like the EFF have been sounding the alarm. I've written to my Congresscritter about it, but sadly, they're a bloody co-sponsor of the bill. Like the article said, they think the internet is made up of Facebook and Google, and they're ignoring the impact it will have on the small players, like Lemmy server operators.
In this case, I don't think just a VPN will help -- I think Tor might, as long as the small operators don't mind being borderline outlaws.
You forgot "defines a code of conduct and social responsibility so I don't have to resign from the FSF again."
It would have been too sarcastic for them to have touted it as a "legitimate" "new" "business".
