Lol wut? They want to make it illegal for me to install software on my device?
These fuckijg Mellon head legislators should be jailed for suggesting such violations..
No, they want to make it illegal to install an illegal app.
It's like saying: "Lol wut? They want to make it illegal to grow weed in my home?"
Now, I am NOT for this bill regardless, but that shouldn't be your reason.
What should be your reason? Why is wanting the right to use whatever software I want not a good reason?
Software is not weed, it is not an automatic assault rifle, it is information. You could literally speak the binary encoding of the software aloud if you had enough time, and I'm pretty sure freedom of speech is a right everyone has.
