Good news then... one smartphone manufacture goes to my blacklist
This sucks
I'm shocked that they haven't done it already. Samsung is a shit abusive company
I'm sure it'll be possible eventually. The war between corporate greed and public interest is always in flux. But this for now removes the choice of one flagship mobile for those who value freedom..
Perhaps the EU don't kill games petition—if fruitful, might also have an effect on this. Depends how it would be put into law. Killing off hardware, as was the case with Spotify Car Thing or—indeed—smartphones past their manufacturer support period, seem not quite unlike killing off software, which the campaign tries to prevent.
My experience with Samsung was that at each update they kept making it harder not logging in a Samsung account. Not unlike Microsoft but a practice I hate.
