If this is to be enforced, then start enforcing truck traffic to be limited to certain lanes on certain roads. They cause much of the traffic in cities and cause people undue stress because they usually drive way below the speed limit almost anywhere.
Why does bad reviews instantly mean trolling? Just because a movie was hyped up to try to get as much people to go and watch it doesn't mean the movie was excellent. You got people tricked into paying to see your crap movie, sort of like how EA hypes up games to get people to buy it only to find out it's crap. If it keeps up, you'll end up like the video gaming scene where no one buys into hype anymore and game sales drop off dramatically because of it. You can fool people up to a point, but eventually it's going to take another generation to pull off again since people remember this for a life time.
It doesn't help when government enforcers are spineless. My neighbors facility has accidents all the time. Slipping, cutoff fingers, broken bones, you name it. Yet, every time OSHA visits his place, they do nothing. Guy is still operating, accidents still happening. It's so bad, that my area has had 8 new Emergency Clinics built up (You don't just build up ER Clinics at the kindness of your heart). Meanwhile, every time OSHA visits my place, with zero accidents, clean floors, abiding to every standard possible, they always find something stupid (Like the yellow line on my floor is slightly fading away) and threaten me with 30 days or I get shut down. You can easily find facilities like I'm talking about on OSHA's own website, even some with daily accidents.
I'm sure if I threatened these OSHA and labor board inspectors with litigation and lawyers, they would stop visiting my place. But I'm not like that, so I'm an easy target for them to prove they're doing work. But they fear the facilities that are a problem because they're afraid of sitting in court for weeks at a time. Either grow a pair or put an end to OSHA, because you're not solving the problem, you're creating more problems.
So as such, what does this have to do with your topic with anti-trust? Same thing. The guys are afraid of lawyers and spending time in court. So enforcement is non-existent for dishonest people.
They were touting fully autonomous vehicles way back in 2014 and 2015, even showing off videos about it (Hell, they were showing off the video of a Tesla parking itself in front of their Irvine office). Now they won't even mention a peep about it and have taken a lot of it down, even going after the people re-uploading the videos. This all started after all the accidents started happening. Tesla definitely hires PR firms to give a positive image and spin to their products. The PR people started hitting up everywhere and I would get attacked by a bunch of them for even mentioning this.
I don't see this doing the same thing as Genius, as it changed the content of the website. Dissenter is more akin to someone handing you an article at a lunch table and having a discussion over it. But on the other hand, they've been banning Gab on every platform, meanwhile, allowing Chinese spyware and malware all over.
The problem is, Samsung and now LG are selling phones to the US market that can't be rooted, making these roms useless. Sony lets you root but they gimp the camera so much that it negates the benefits of rooting their phones.
And by the way, I love lineage, but when more unrootable and unlockable bootloader phones flood the US market, it's making it very difficult to find a device that lets you load up lineage on your phone. Just look on the XDA forums. There's an ongoing attempt to root the LG40 with massive failure. The US Version of the Samsung S9 can't be rooted. And of course you get the whole "You don't need to root your phone anymore, trust in Samsung and LG guys, they know what they're doing *wink*" posters all over the place.
And yes, I know I can buy international phones from Ebay easily, but the point is, US devices are being gimped on purpose.
As I posted on a comment before, this is just going to give rise to more devices that will lock out completely or wipe their devices after a period of inactivity.
All I see is the rise of devices that shift passwords after a certain amount of time and permanently locks the device or wipes it after a certain amount of no activity. It's already becoming easy enough to do.
I stopped using my phone for anything important. Emails I can do on my other devices. Photos, I can do with a standalone camera which takes WAY better pictures, because they've gimped phone cameras to 12Mp. Web browsing? Banking? GPS? I'll just do what I used to do 10 years ago. The impact of losing this convenience over a single device that fits in my pocket for me is very minimal. I even stopped allowing phones in our meetings. I'm pretty positive corporate and industrial espionage now happens on a regular basis thanks to these smart phones.
Ever since phone manufacturers started preventing rooting your phones in the US and the PR posting about how I shouldn't ever have to worry about rooting ever again, I stopped trusting them. Only phone I might look forward too is the Librem 5, but not putting high hopes into that. This whole deal with the UAE just confirms what we've always known.
And I'll just stop using it completely. Youtube/Google is not the first company to try to attempt this DRM media with special apps to play it (How's Real doing?) and it won't be the last.
What new phones have you rooted that doesn't gimp your camera or other things on the phone? Please provide me at least one. Because it definitely isn't the Samsung or Sony. Sony lets you root your phone, but all pictures are blank after you do. LG V40, we're still waiting on word if that can be rooted still. The only one that is semi-functional is the Oneplus. Xiaomi would have been a good one, but they joined the gimping bandwagon ever since Ubuntu shutdown their phone attempt. As for Librem-5, I'm not holding my breath. Been a while, still no release yet.
I don't particularly see this as a problem. Automation actually has brought in a lot of opportunities that no one has had before. If there was no automation, I would have never built up my plant. I'm seeing more and more people opening up little businesses in their garage thanks to automation. People buying CNC machines, 3D Printing machines and all kinds of things and utilizing their design skills to build unique things.
I'm actually seeing a whole slew of decentralization away from these massive manufacturing plants to little small shops specializing in specific things and doing it well. All we need now is someone to start cataloging this stuff that people make.
Could you give me a list of brand new US sold phones (Like at least from 2018) that I can root and are not gimped please? (Gimped as in if I root, the camera doesn't work, or certain things don't work on the phone because the manufacturer feels like I should be punished for rooting my device).
See, why would you want to root your android device? There's no need to root your Android device anymore. The manufacturers will protect you! There's no reason for root.
The problem is, Chinese patriotism doesn't exist. Chinese don't even like most Chinese products. So I don't see how this incentive program is going to work. First thing they will probably do is trade in their Huawei for an Apple Iphone.

Common sense no longer rules anymore anywhere. It's now strict adherence to code and law, or we execute you.

I got a ticket mailed to me for going 122km/h in 120km/h lane in Switzerland. Great logic there.
It's especially highly suspicious when they start doing it before we even have a public available investigation report.

Apple users are all screwed however.
Huh? People modify their cars all the time. Even the computer in cars. Why is Tesla all of the sudden the exception here?

How dare you! Apologize now!

I'm sorry my washing machine caused such devastation.

Yeah, I thought so.
.
Is it too late for "I told you so."?
See, why would you want to root your android device? There's no need to root your Android device anymore. The manufacturers will protect you! There's no reason for root.
They seem to have no problem censoring, banning, and/or deleting certain users for their views.

The same goes with their food products.
