The @FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is investigating the Amazon-Apple scam that shut out small refurbishers! They interviewed me for 1.5 hours. If you have been affected and want to state your case, let me know and I’ll give you contact info. #nixthefixftc #righttorepair
I applaud the @ftc for taking on the Apple-Amazon agreement, and committing to fight so many other battles. When 2-3 companies monopolize any given function, the American people lose. It’s government’s job to be referee in the game of capitalism. #nixthefixftc #righttorepair

On Tuesday, @uspirg #RightToRepair campaign director Nathan Proctor presented at a Federal Trade Commission #NixTheFixFTC workshop. Here are some takeaways, via @vicenews @KarlBode https://t.co/WVqeOvLsKa
@nProctor The "you can't fix it because that will break security" is indicative of either bad security design or high bullshit. Or possibly both. #nixthefixftc

Great summary of the #NixtheFixFTC event by @KarlBode -- this was an important day for our Right to Repair.
For years, the “right to repair” movement struggled to gain widespread public attention.
But that’s started to change. https://t.co/UI60zbb7Gr
