France has taken a bold step by making planned obsolescence a criminal offense — meaning companies can now be punished for intentionally designing products to wear out early.
If manufacturers deliberately create electronics or appliances that fail sooner than they should- whether through weak hardware, software updates that slow devices, or other built-in limitations, they can face serious consequences. Penalties include up to two years in prison and fines of €300,000, or as much as 5% of a company’s annual revenue in major cases.
The law grew out of France’s consumer-protection efforts and was strengthened after investigations into phone slowdowns revealed how software could be used to push people into buying replacements.
But this isn’t just about punishment. It’s part of France’s wider “right to repair” movement, which aims to reduce electronic waste, stop hidden forced upgrades, and encourage companies to make products that last longer and can be repaired more easily.
By cracking down on disposable-by-design goods, France is sending a strong signal to manufacturers worldwide: build products to last. The goal is a more sustainable system where items are repaired instead of replaced helping both consumers and the planet.

I'm calling bullshit on this one. Almost 1tb of bandwidth per month???
Most FUPs will soft cap you once you hit 250GB-500GB and then EVERYONE is unhappy.
I discovered my neighbor was stealing my WiFi.
Most homeowners would change their password.
I saw an underdeveloped revenue channel.
He was using 847GB of bandwidth monthly. I saw 847 opportunities for monetization.
I didn't block him. Instead, I set up a man-in-the-middle attack and injected ads into every webpage he visited.
The ad content? High-converting affiliate offers tailored to his browsing history.
Sports site? Here's a $300 sports betting bonus.
Recipe blog? Kitchen gadgets at 70% off.
News article? This ONE stock that will 10x by December.
I also throttle his connection to 1mbps unless he clicks through my referral links, where he gets fiber speeds.
He's frustrated with the "internet issues" lately. But every entrepreneur knows that friction creates conversion.
Each day he spends online generates $73 in affiliate commissions from his clicks and sign-ups.
I don't think you understand the ecosystem I've built.
Just look at the value ladder:
- My neighbor gets free internet (with minor inconveniences)
- I get a 24/7 conversion machine
- My affiliate accounts are hitting platinum tier status
- I'm beta testing behavioral retargeting at the router level
This is how I turned a security breach into a six-figure passive income stream.
My neighbor asked why his banking app keeps showing crypto ads.
I told him that's just how the internet works now.
