This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Make a law that says, if you don't keep supporting it you have to open source it. It's just fair.
Yes, not gonna happen. You know how many new devices get sold simply because old ones are no longer getting updates/software support? It's planned obsolescence. No modern country would pass a law like that.
Absolutely 100% unironically: Not with that attitude.
Not sure which country you're from, but I've basically lost the any hope I can influence any policy in my country with ANY attitude. I hope I'm wrong about other countries.
Look up "right to repair" laws. There are efforts all across the world to get them passed, and many of them have been successful. This is absolutely a thing that you can in fact make a difference on.
