@cmccullough @LetsRoc also #Microsoft is not only a #PRISM collaborator, but subject to #CloudAct aka. "#Datacenter in #Ireland" isn't even a #figleaf!

@hllizi @randahl or just #Figleaf'd cuy #Lobbzists get paid for entrenching the status quo!
@briankrebs that is literally the problem!
And no, what #Apple does here isn't #SelfRepair or #RightToRepair but a rotten-to-the-core #Figleaf to bamboozle #TechIlliterate #legislators into believing Corporate #PR aka. #Propaganda #lies!
@GrapheneOS @thomas @wonka OFC #Google abuses it to enforce their #monopoly and choke alternative ROMs to death with this anti-feature #DRM.
It's obvious #GrapheneOS' devs rather refuse to support hardware than to do concessions in terms of #Security...
As @uint8_t said: it's #SecurityTheater and has nothing to do woth either #security nor #integrity!
@charliejane #KOSA, like #OFSTA and #SESTA, is just #Cyberfacism behind a rotting #Figleaf...
it's just bad and this #figleaf action is bad.
I really hope @BMWK will instruct the Anti-Cartal Agency to go after #Apple if @EU_Commission doesn't because #RightToRepair is essential and no amout of #greenwashing can outweight #PlannedObsolescence through #AntiRepair #design!

This is not #SelfRepair - this is just a shitty #figleaf excuse and a serious infringement on the #Privacy and #DataProtection of #Consumers and so hard #AntiCompetition that I hope @EU_Commission and @kartellamt@social.bund.de will force #Apple to provide free access to the tools without any need for #InternetAccess or any #DataCollection!

@stuartl for Example not-so-long ago I had an minor issue getting me an engine light.
I went to my trusted independent car repair shop and they were able to diagnose the issue within seconds and get a replacement part installed within an hour.
That kept the repair bill low.
And that should be the norm for everything - and not the #figleaf #PR smoke that #Apple does with the #IRPP & "#SelfRepair" program.
Opel forfeilted their rights to my car in the moment it was sold to a customer -forever.
@ocdtrekkie @catraxx @EU_Commission I think that's rather a #Downgrade but let's be homest these Versions were only #figleaf-level excuses of "#compliance" as they didn't get preinstalled per default nor distributed equally with the "Standard" Versions...
@BryanGreyson like with most shit that is #WellMeant by @EU_Commission it'll likely get watered-down or even weaponized against #users and #developers, like "#SoftwareCertification" that can only aim to ban #FLOSS, #BulkSurveillance and criminalization of #SecureCommunications or the #Figleaf that was #GaiaX to justify shoving money into #Amazon and #Microsoft in lieu of actually working #domestic #cloud standards...
