normally yes, you should use a better app if it doesn't (or maybe your instance disabled downvotes)

The answer seems to be in this PDF: https://www.ft.dk/samling/20231/almdel/reu/spm/1426/svar/2073769/2913128.pdf

Apparently Google Translate can't translate PDFs, but when I copy and paste the text into Google Translate, I get this:

We know that social media and encrypted services are unfortunately largely used to facilitate many forms of crime. There are examples of how criminal gangs use encrypted platforms to recruit very young people to commit serious crimes, including crimes against humanity. This is an expression of cynicism that is almost completely incomprehensible.
We therefore need to look at how we can eliminate this problem.
Both in terms of what the services themselves do, but also what we, as authorities, can do. It must not be the case that criminals can hide behind encrypted services that the authorities cannot access.
Therefore, we, as a government, will also strengthen the police’s capabilities in the area of ​​decryption, of course under appropriate legal guarantees,
as is also the case today. In addition, the Ministry of Justice's Criminal Justice Committee has just begun a mandate to look at the challenges that technological developments pose to police investigations, including the use of encrypted messaging services. I also note that steps have been taken within the EU towards stronger regulation of, among other things, digital information services and social media platforms. For example, the European Commission has presented a proposal for a new regulation on rules to prevent and combat the sexual abuse of children. The proposed regulation contains rules on obligations for certain online services to minimize the risk that their services are misused for the sexual abuse of children online, and the services may, if necessary, be required to detect, report, remove and block access to material that depicts child sexual abuse.
The government has a strong focus on eliminating digital abuse – this is not least true when it comes to sexual abuse of children – and, unlike the opposition, supports the proposed regulation.

so basically a complete failure to answer the question, containing only things we already knew or could guess, not very interesting

people can only see or click on that if they look at the source code because you posted it with an empty link text

Parties choose whom to nominate as ministers.

I'm not a voter in Denmark and not familiar with Danish politics; this kind of thing would certainly cause me to vote for a different party.

One could have guessed from the image in the OP. KDE 4.2 is not exactly a recent piece of software anymore.

apparently nominally a member of a social-democratic party

When I was younger, I believed that social-democratic parties were better than conservative ones on matters of civil liberties. I stand corrected on that.

I'm not sure I understand your substantive question very well.

There already is a bridge from RSS feeds to ActivityPub: https://rss-parrot.net/ (there are plenty of sources I follow through that).

The clue of what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing one's activities. For example "I've written a new blog post", "I've commented on someone else's activity", "I've upvoted someone else's comment".

RSS is really just a structured format to describe the content of a website in simpler terms. It doesn't ever send any information to anyone, it doesn't have any mechanism for anyone else to interact.

I used to follow news sites directly through an RSS reader. But I would need to set that up separately on each device, including after reinstalling, which I just can't be bothered to do. I know there are things like Feedly, but not everyone likes proprietary services and software that much. I like the fact that on Mastodon nowadays, I can follow both microbloggers and RSS feeds.

probably; maybe yet another reason not to use that term

I prefer to think in these terms: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moderation-is-different-from-censorship

Without exception? No, I don't think that's true, it's just the loudest ones, unfortunately.

For genuine free speech supporters like me, this is a problem because it makes the phrase "free speech" look bad and thereby contributes to a decline in it.

The openstreetmap.org website has a search feature but I think its abilities to search for kinds of POIs are limited. I never use it for that, only to search for names.

You discovered what I meant in CoMaps. Maybe your experience could be turned into a feature request for it.

"within OSM" – not clear what you are asking for, OSM is just a database of geographical data

"from any OSM-based apps" – most of them should have their own user-friendly search features, I know OsmAnd does, so you can use that.
