More Lies : Jailbreaking and unlocking

[shady28]

The Lie :

"Obama administration endorses legalizing the unlocking of cell phones & tablets"

http://appleinsider.com/articles/13...galizing-the-unlocking-of-cell-phones-tablets


Reality :

"The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty pushed by the Obama administration could complicate efforts to loosen restrictions on jailbreaking and unlocking smartphones, tablets, or other consumer electronics.

A working draft of the treaty published by WikiLeaks prohibits the manufacturing or distribution of devices or services "for the purpose of circumvention of any effective technological measure." "

but... but... hope, change, transparency!

The only glimmer of hope that comes from all this is that maybe people are finally starting to see that they've been repeatedly lied to.

LOL ! Great, now my cow-orkers are looking at me funny.

Well, funnier anyway.

Should be becoming clear that Obama is a puppet at this point.

Yes, because the treaty doesn't mention anything about unlocking, the article is only based on one person's "worries" it could theoretically apply to unlocking, and there's already an amendment drafted to the very-draft treaty that would specifically exempt unlocking/jailbreaking (thus ensuring it is allowed).

You definitely got him this time!

Oh wait, no.

You ever have that moment where you bust out laughing at the office, but you somewhat saw it coming and tried to dumb it down a little before it fully comes out? It just makes it come out sounding worse/weird.

Yeah, I just shrug and say "Sorry, voices in my head are cracking me up today."
