@FirewallDragons I think #RightToRepair must necessitate any #RightToModify, because #RepairReuseRecycle necessitates #Upcycling and thus using #AftermarketFirmware.

• And the "legitimate objections" have long been adressed by #ETSI et. al. mandating a #Lockdown on #Baseband / #Wireless-Chipset firmware to "enshure compliance"...

Needless to say I think even that is overreach, as regulators like @BNetzA not only can but will enforce spectrum regulations and pursue violators by all legal means, so it's not as if there is a rampant flood of #SpectrumViolations amd no means to stop them - far from it.

• Personally I want to see a mandate for the maximum possible extend of #maintainability and #modifyability only limited by legal (regulatory compliance) and technical limitations...

@GrapheneOS AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY I THINK RELYING SOLELY ON #GooglePixel DEVICES BY #Google IS A BAD IDEA!

You may be shitting at #Fairphone an #shift for all the right reasons, but at least they don't work against #AftermarketFirmware or try to restrict #UserFreedom beyond the mandatory #BoodloaderLockdown (which is trivial to undo officially!) to get #GooglePlay certified!
