How do you compare unlocking a phone for someone who bough it to stealing one's personal information? They're not similar in any way.

It's the generic "Terrorism and rape will happen if you are allowed to control your own device that you actually paid money for" FUD.

And the rape part is not an exaggeration, it was actually used as an argument against the Right to Repair ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EozPi1qmH44 ), wouldn't be suprised to hear it in this case too.

I agree. There isn’t an alternative with cellphones because of the importance they hold, legally, financially, politically. Power in your pocket; like a gun.

Everything is connected. You just view things from your own perspective, not from the perspective of the phone company or the banks etc…

I note you can scarcely even hope to explain the verdict. Your model doesn’t fit and so you have no ability to make sense of it.
