I wholeheartedly agree, and that's why a while ago I asked the FSFE to
work with Marie Moe ([0]), but I never received any response.

This is something that should be done at a government-level, by the way:

is poorly understood, it makes no sense to me that a person could either
"choose" to install a killswitch or die. It is ethically and morally wrong.
