Don’t use tariffs. Legalize jailbreaking and adversarial interop instead. Disregard American DRM.

Don’t just legalise jailbreak (which was never illegal anyway 😂), but force device manufacturers to unlock root as soon as they end support for the device.
How about not letting Google have exclusive rights to the drivers for all the phone hardware? I would like to be able to install Linux on any phone I buy. I don't want Google monopolizing phone operating systems. #FOSS #Linux #FuckGoogle #Monopoly #deGoogle
You know jailbreaking isn't illegal right? It's the same is removing one of those void if removed stickers, you won't get tech support anymore but who cares about Apple tech support?
Isn't it sometimes? Like if involved breaking something encrypted, I thought it was. And possibly other cases as well. At least in the US thanks to the DMCA and others.
Yeah, let's have a go with the ACI (anti-coercion instrument) and see if we can't make their patents free game. Playing to Trump's tune is unlikely to work out well
