Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown
I think this is the first shot in the open war on technology, there has been a quiet push for years.
Automakers blame an RF toy for their own disgustingly poor security measures, and the government jumps to ban the toy. What happens when Bell declares that only criminals need a VPN to hide their traffic, or Rogers decides that only a hacker would ever need to have server in their home? How about a more general case, cordless angle grinders and sawzalls are the fastest way to steal catalytic converters from cars, how long before they are subject to a ban or can only be sold to “approved” persons?
