Looking at you Verizon
(lemmy.world)
A friendly reminder that isps do NOT care about you or your digital rights. Always best to buy directly from the OEM rather than from the telecommunications (unless you can't afford it). Do proper research before buying a phone!
ISP locking doesn't make any sense, why should they care if I use stock Android or GraphineOS?
They care because some users don’t actually own their phones and the carrier wants to keep strings attached, or they want to impose artificial software restrictions like preventing or limiting hotspot data.
Even when none of those conditions apply, you still often must deal with the locked boot loader. It’s BS.
