Comment on Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months agoIt’s hardly tyrannical. It’s a device meant to be used to steal cars. Not banning it would be seen as willfully ignoring part of the problem. They’re still ignoring the root cause of the problem, but they have to be seen attempting to govern. If they’re not banning the open source hardware, then we’re not living under the thumb of a tyrant.

Right, so with this logic we should ban smart phones because they can pirate digital media.
The device was not ment to steal cars, just as smart phones aren’t designed to pirate media.
Also unlike the smart phone and its abilityto priate content, this device cannot steal cars. It might be able to steal a car from the 90’s without a proper secure key FOB.

No, that’s a lie. It’s no different than saying that a VCR is “a device meant to steal movies.”
