I wish this would happen in the US but my government always sides with companies over people.

    Do you hate politics? If you do, don't. Most people like to pretend politics doesn't matter because they think overall it doesn't affect their lives. This is the consequence of a large percentage of the population acting this way.

    Look at it through the filter of not just "The System" which is not-representative and excessively complex putting many many people off a system that they're born unto with no say no matter how many sales-pitches are made about it.

    You can challenge your nostrum that in fact many people end up making the same decision by many many different means and methods and that means not just all are stupid, but the sheer diversity would indicate more sense of "truth" in that response than a singular message "You must vote because it matters/makes a difference!"

    As to "hate", the word in English is misleading, for one of the most intense negative emotions that people can experience. Apathy or loss of trust might be more appropriate premise.

    Literally in the article:

    The United States, for example, is considering legislation that would require Apple to allow sideloading.

    I’m going to come back to the 2026 thread titled “US and EU pass laws mandating on-device scanning” and watch everyone who was warned about the consequences of having governments demand features in tech products pretend they didn’t know. All the people who said “sLiPpErY SlOpE FaLLaCy” will be fun to talk to
