Countless companies and industries enjoy making up scary stories when it comes to justifying their opposition to making it easier to repair your own tech. Apple claims that empowering consumers and bolstering independent repair shops will turn states into “hacker meccas.” The car industry insists that making it easier and cheaper to repair modern cars will be a boon to sexual predators.
What does that even mean?
Afraid of someone doing a better job than your own service?
What?
All of that is explained if you just read the multiple very biased articles.
Hint: the right to repair people go way out of their way to stretch the truth for sensationalism and clicks, same as every other “news” site nowadays.
This is the dumbest statement I’ve read today.
lol you guys are hilarious.
I’m pro right to repair, but wtf does that have to do with the fact that website is indeed extremely biased towards the right. It’s no different than any other lobby group. They are going to cherry pick to make their side look better.
I don’t think I ever before this comment stated which side I was on, but I don’t blame y’all for getting emotional over something so important.
Can you explain your point of view?
Biased as I am, as I live in a country where the right to repair is by default granted, discussion ofwhat someone can or cannot do to what is rightfully theirs is… nonsensical.
Even before Apple allowed for third party repairs, here there were shops replacing iPhone batteries, screens, etc, because we can. We paid for it, that’s it.
But the right to repair a vehicle? And the argument against involving children? What sort of reasoning is supporting that claim?
How much were you paid to say that? And don’t bother with the lie that it was “nothing”. No sane person actually believes anything these corps have to say.
