Check the other crossposts with more comments. He got personally harassed and is rightfully mad about it. The dude is still a shithead (if you look at his other activity) but its not his sole fault but the fault of the entire project for deciding to preemptively comply with a law that probably wont even be enforced. The implementation doesnt actually do anything other than being a freely writable text field anyways so the whole situation is kinda overblown. Still its odd that they even implemented it at all.

Somebody else mentioned that it's was actually merged by microsft devs. Which we can now see why that it is a tragedy that they are allowed to contribute at all.
