This story takes some twists and turns.
For me, it's a reminder for me of several important points:
- People who do downright awful things in one area of their life/work/morals are usually terrible people in other areas.
- Some people have enough awareness to say "Sorry" to their victims, yet not show remorse or contrition. They do not change their ways, they are manipulative, and they think they're the smartest person in the room. They're incapable of showing sincere respect or gratitude toward other people. They're toxic, they're abusive, they're bullies, and they're acting as though "The end justifies the means" to get what they want.
- We should all have the right to repair software, hardware, and systems we own. Whether you're running a repair business, or are a Maker (or "Hacker" by the old-school definition), or are a regular person engaging in a hobby at home, we should be supportive of each other in these aims. It's wrong to impede these goals by abusing legal tools such as Copyright, DRM, and DMCA.

Is this globally?
How e. g. in the EU.
US laws don't apply there.
"If the #Echo is your property, how come Amazon gets to break it? Because we passed a law that lets them. Section 1201 of 1998's #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct makes it a felony to "bypass an access control"...

But *zero* app users have installed ad-blockers, because reverse-engineering an app requires that you bypass its encryption, triggering liability under #Section1201 of the #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct. This law provides for a $500,000 fine and a 5-year prison sentence for "circumvention" of access controls:

This means that when a vendor end-of-lifes a gadget, no one can make an alternative OS for it, so off the landfill it goes.
It doesn't help that UEFI - and other trusted computing modules - are covered by #Section1201 of the #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct (#DMCA), which makes it a felony to publish information that can bypass or weaken the system.

But once Google seized the majority of the mobile market, it was able to funnel users into apps, and reverse-engineering an app is a felony (felony contempt of business-model) under #Section1201 of the #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct. An app is just a web-page wrapped in enough IP to make it a crime to install an ad-blocker.

Trafficking in tools to break a digital lock is a felony under #Section1201 of the #DigitalMillenniumCopyrightAct, carrying a 5-year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine.
In other words, it's not just that tech isn't regulated, allowing for endless twiddling against your privacy, consumer rights and labor rights. It's that tech is *badly* regulated, to permit unlimited twiddling by tech companies to take away your rightsand to prohibit any twiddling by you to take them back.
