When #Piracy is an act of #SelfDefense for #ConsumerRights, the Company responsible has outlived it's usefulness for #Society eveb in #Capitalism and should be forcibly disbanded.

#CopyProtection of any kind is only reducing legitimate sales, frustrating paying consumers and making Piracy the better option and #Pirates the better sellers!

#AI #GenerativeAI #ConsumerRights #DataProtection #Privacy: "The Norwegian Consumer Council today published a detailed report “Ghost in the machine – Addressing the consumer harms of generative AI” outlining the harms, legal frameworks, and possible ways forward. In conjunction with this launch, the Norwegian Consumer Council and 14 consumer organizations from across the EU and the US demand that policymakers and regulators act.

– The risks from generative AI for consumers are well documented in this report by The Norwegian Consumer Council. As long as the EU’s AI Act is not applicable, authorities need to investigate where new generative AI-driven products and services may be harming consumers and enforce existing data protection, safety and consumer protection legislation. Companies cannot be absolved from the EU’s existing regulations, nor should consumers be manipulated or misled, just because this technology is new says Pachl."

The fact that #Corporations can just bail out with a #fine when they intentionally violate #ConsumerRights retroactively is a big problem contributing to the #PowerAsymetry in #LateStageCapitalism.

#Sony should've been forced to support #OtherOS for the entire #PS3 lifespan and not be allowed to just pay settlement cheques - that ain't being offered worldwide anyways - and still retroactively #NERF a product.

@torvalds Which reminds me that this way of forced cancellation is in fact illegal in the #EU and espechally #Germany as it violates #ConsumerRights.

That being said I refuse to use any website that doesn't work in @torproject #TorBrowser because the more #Tracking and #Ads there are the less tolerant I get for these...

@ShadowJonathan +9001%

I think that the #EU and all the other big governments should #outlaw #PlannedObsolescence & #ReducedLifecycle as the #EnvoirmentalCrime|s they are and also strip #Abandonware of any #IP rights protections like #DRM...

Also any infringement on #ConsumerRights is bad, including shit like "locking down firmware" to "enforce spectrum compliance" or whatever bullshit figleaf they make up...

@balrogboogie #PayPal is such a scammy company, their actual regulat, #CSSF is #Luxembourg, literally had to hire people just to enforce #ConsumerRights upon that wannabe but "legally being a #bank" shit corporation...

Danas je Svjetski dan prava potrošača. Nažalost, RH je po tom pitanju na dnu EU, 87% potrošača ne pozna svoja prava. Moj ured je zatrpan upitima i molbama građana, što pokazuje da ljudi žele istjerati pravdu te da su frustrirani situacijom na tržištu. #ConsumerRights
