When I buy a phone or computer, I should be able to install what software I want, from whatever sources I want, on it. My device, my risk.

I don't think that that should be a contentious policy position.

@neil when I buy a car I should be able to install any parts I want, my car my risk.

Their exist other people on the road, and on the Internet.

Yes you are able to do anything with your car, including pouring honey in the fuel tank, removing one tire, replacing windows with cardboard and honk with R2-D2 sounds.

But is's not the manufacturer disallowing you to do that. It's the police not allowing such modifications on the road.
And the Internet is not a road.

@didek @neil it's common access.
