The court heard how the group, who had never met in person and communicated online, were infiltrated by an undercover officer.
Honestly shocked that counter-terror cops bothered infiltrating the far-right. Fash infighting you could say?
Isn’t 3D printing a gun a very stupid thing to do? Like as soon as you downloaded any sort of blueprint (or whatever those machines use) you’d be on some sort of list.
How would you end up on that list? A lot of 3d printers aren’t internet connected, you can download the files with Tor, and afaik OS’s don’t scan for gun files (and even if Windows did, there’s linux).
You can’t stop the signal.
How would an OS scan for gun files? They’re literally just cam or 3d print instructions.
It’s not like clippy is going to pop up on my legal copy of solidworks to tell me off for making a tube

3d-printer companies have been developing detection algorithms for gun files. Some (very, very few) already deploy them to their printers, and presumably they could be applied on an OS scale.
Or your OS could check files against known gun file hashes.
