History
The present-day Polish village Opawica and the present-day Czech village Opavice, directly across the Czech side of the border, were once a single village. After the Silesian Wars, the newly-drawn border divided the village in two. The division continued through the Communist era of 1945–1990, and the border was not easily crossed until the two countries joined the Schengen Area in 2007.[2]

gollark: (Obviously they can't entirely ban it)
gollark: It also seems to function as a plausibly deniable way to ban end to end encryption (it never mentions it explicitly but does have a mechanism to force technology companies to make their service amenable to centralised monitoring).
gollark: The UK government is also working on the incredibly ææææ "online safety bill", which obliges online things to ban "harmful content" (not illegal, "harmful").
gollark: I do know about this.
gollark: It doesn't help that various governments and such also seem to not want anonymous online communications.
