Right to Repair/Ownership

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Rules:

  1. Keep posts on topic.
  2. Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  3. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  4. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  5. Please be respectful to each other.

Yeah I know, but it'd be so much nicer if the US would give a shit about us instead of having to wait for the effects of the EU to carry over. I am grateful that someone out there is fighting for positive changes though

Agree, in an ideal world solving those issues should be an collaborative work of all countries on the world because it affects everyone in direct or indirect way.
