    Canadian telcos did this 15 years ago, but I haven’t heard of behaviour like this in a long time. You need to write a complaint to your government.

      People have. Some samsungs were blocked in the first perge. There was minimal outcry. The normies just got new phones.

      … Also someone did die coz they went able to call emergency services. Something to do with the phone not updated and had not been blocked properly (otherwise they would have known they couldn’t call emergency). So it seems that’s kicked off a new wave of checks.
