| Date | 18:25:08, November 05, 2017 CET | From | Right-Wing Coalition of Cildania | To | Debating the Software ACt |
| Message | The parenting of software is unnecessary; any developer can obtain the source code and algorithms and slightly modify them to bypass the laws. Furthermore, the development of software is dependent on editing different people's methods. The technology of Cildania has been improved this way for many years. |
