Good. It's kind of fucked up that it even had to be voted on.

I deeply hope that non-user-replaceable batteries will be outlawed too, because mobile phones with non-replaceable batteries failed to co-exist with user-replaceable battery phones.

This is what sucks when I purchased my most recent phone. I didn't realize how bad it's gotten until I was shopping for a new phone and no one made them anymore with removable batteries.

In general, yes. But if it's a technical requirement to get waterproof phones, I'd consider buying those phones and it'd be a reasonable trade-off to make. But when generally speaking all phones have non-removable batteries and most aren't waterproof, you know something is wrong.

This is BS, we bough our vehicles, it is ours to do what we want it

Nope, you used your legal straw-man (your name on the birth certificate owned by organized so called jewish crime) to use fiat currency (owned by the so called jewish usury cartel) to rent the ownership certificate, the drivers license, the license plates, the insurances, the citizen liberties to use roads etc. To find out what you own under organized so called jewish crime, just stop paying taxes and take inventory of what you will have left afterwards.

I fucking hate MA and I'm from there, but thisnis good news. The fact this had to be voted on is bullshit though.
Massachusetts is a cockroach of a state, even California isn't as leftist loving on the whole as MA.

May this 5000-word article assist you in debates about this topic.

Even liberals have a good idea once in a while.

Wrong. They voted to try require (by law) that each newly sold car come with a telematics system installed. That's the device that tracks everything you do.
A very successful campaign was run to obfuscate this as a right to repair bill. There were commercial s for both sides, but at the end of the day people couldn't be bothered to read the fucking bill.
You lot are just as dumb. Or did the phrases "wirelessly transmit" & "remote server" not make it into your tiny skulls?

So buy a 20 or 30 year old car that didn't get snagged by the Cash for Clunkers for a few hundred bucks, spend a grand or two bringing it up to snuff and spend the other thousands on your family or whatever.

Manufacturers will have to share the data but they will charge so much for access that it doesn't really make a difference.
