Can’t Hue just turn off everyone’s lights in the EU if the law doesn’t allow this change in terms of service?

Its actually illegal under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK for a product to force a change on its functionality after you bought it.
Also surprised if EU law will allow this ?
I for one will be seeking a refund for the products either directly or through a court just to show them up.

That would be a charge in functionality.

No they'd have to make the lights just work if the EU got involved. AFAIK

Also, pretty sure it’s illegal in California to under CCPA, but there they could just turn off the lights. Which is why CCPA needs change in functionality clauses.
