“Banning Flipper Zero devices is tantamount to banning a multi-tool because it can be used for vandalism, or banning markers because they can be used for graffiti,” EFF’s @legind told @Motherboard. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a388g/flipper-zero-ban-canada-hacking-car-thefts
Feds Want to Ban the World’s Cutest Hacking Device. Experts Say It's a ‘Scapegoat’

Canada is moving to ban the TikTok-famous Flipper Zero, claiming that it contributes to car thefts. It doesn’t.

@eff @legind @Motherboard - This is (once again) politicians taking action or posturing on a topic that they have absolutely no understanding of.

It was so embarrassing when the Canadian trade minister went to China and asked them to make more chips for Canada - as if they were generic items.

Every time I read about government involvement in tech I fell a little bit dumber.
