Section 1201 of the DMCA is a section in the [[DMCA]] which prevents users from &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Why this is problematic==&lt;br /&gt;
The law is problematic as it prevents users from being able to break a digital lock, because of this law, manufacturers can remotely modify user’s devices in order to force a subscription or encourage the user to buy a new device. Usually the remote modifications of devices are performed over the internet which is why manufacturers require the devices to be connected at all times.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Harrison |first=William |date=6 Aug 2026 |title=Why Smart Device Bricking Fuels the Push for Offline Options and Open IoT Standards |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/hardware-and-devices/why-smart-device-bricking-fuels-the-push-for-offline-options-and-open-iot-standards/ar-AA1IyZsA |access-date=6 March 2026 |website=Msn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

|Description=Google and Android phones alike deliberately collect user information, even when they choose to opt-out.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
This article addresses the manner in which Android phones share personal user information with [[Google]], usually in a complete user unaware and unapproved way, and the legal consequences Google has endured for deceptive practices in users&#039; location tracking. This article also discusses non-Google OEM privacy concerns with companies who implement their own modified version of Android such as [[Samsung]] and [[Xiaomi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Android]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, the global top mobile operating system,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Mobile Operating System Market Share Worldwide |url=https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260221164626/https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide |archive-date=21 Feb 2026|access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=[[StatCounter]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is used to power billions of devices globally. Tests have shown that Android phones with [[List of Google products|Google Services]] transmit user data to Google on multiple occasions even when users try to restrict sharing of data via settings. This has encouraged increasing alarm over user privacy, transparency, and personal data control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A study found that data collection happens without any chance to opt out even before the user has even opened their first app.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Connor |date=4 Mar 2025 |title=How Google tracks Android device users before they&#039;ve even opened an app |url=https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/04/google_android/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260214065909/https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/04/google_android/ |archive-date=14 Feb 2026|access-date=2025-03-05 |website=The Register}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, most phone vendors do their own tracking on top and pre-install so-called [[bloatware]] in exchange for payment from the respective company, such as social media and shopping apps [[Meta]], [[TikTok]], Aliexpress, [[eBay]], …), which transmit data in the background without user consent even if the apps are never even opened and the user never agreed to their TOS.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Trinity College Dublin |date=October 11, 2021 |title=Study reveals scale of data-sharing from Android mobile phones |url=https://techxplore.com/news/2021-10-reveals-scale-data-sharing-android-mobile.html |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251117171125/https://techxplore.com/news/2021-10-reveals-scale-data-sharing-android-mobile.html |archive-date=17 Nov 2025|access-date=2025-03-05 |website=TechXplore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In addition, Google services on Android sends telemetry data to Google even when customers directly decline to have their data collected. For instance, each time a SIM card is inserted into the device, Google services sends its information to Google automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data exchanged with Google by Google Messages and Google Dialer applications on an Android smartphone was also researched.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Leith |first=Douglas J. |date=28 Feb 2022 |title=What Data Do The Google Dialer and Messages Apps On Android Send to Google? |url=https://www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/privacyofdialerandsmsapps.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251219161507/https://www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/privacyofdialerandsmsapps.pdf |archive-date=19 Dec 2025|access-date=15 Mar 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These applications report to Google whenever messages are being sent/received or calls are being received/made. Precisely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Google Messages sends a message text hash so Google can match the sender and receiver in a message exchange.&lt;br /&gt;
*Google Dialer also transmits call time and call duration to Google for linking both devices for a call.&lt;br /&gt;
*Both of the apps forward phone numbers to Google.&lt;br /&gt;
*Both user interaction timing and duration with both apps are also forwarded to Google in addition to the above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No exemption option exists in the data transmission. Data comes through two pathways:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#The [[wikipedia:Google_Play_Services|Google Play Services]] Clearcut logger.&lt;br /&gt;
#Google/Firebase Analytics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Location History Lawsuit===&lt;br /&gt;
Google misled some Android users into thinking that the setting titled “Location History” was the only Google account setting that affected whether the company collected, kept and used personally identifiable data about their location. In fact, another account setting titled “Web &amp;amp; App Activity” also enabled Google to collect, store and use personally identifiable location data when it was turned on, and that setting was turned on by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this, Google was sued in the United States and in Australia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Gatlan |first=Sergiu |date=14 Nov 2022 |title=Google will pay $391M to settle Android location tracking lawsuit |url=https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-will-pay-391m-to-settle-android-location-tracking-lawsuit/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260218125205/https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-will-pay-391m-to-settle-android-location-tracking-lawsuit/ |archive-date=18 Feb 2026|access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=[[BleepingComputer]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=12 Aug 2022 |title=Google LLC to pay $60 million for misleading representations |url=https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/google-llc-to-pay-60-million-for-misleading-representations |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220816180655/https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/google-llc-to-pay-60-million-for-misleading-representations |archive-date=16 Aug 2022 |access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=[[ACCC]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Data sharing with OEM’s custom Android==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Incomplete section}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Privacy respecting alternatives==&lt;br /&gt;
Some alternatives are available to users for completely avoiding this data sharing. Attempts to disable data collection via settings, Android integration with Google services does make it impossible to fully discontinue the passing on of person and device details.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of [[wikipedia:List_of_custom_Android_distributions|custom ROMs]] or privacy-focused applications, do cut down on sharing data, these are likely to require technical know-how and are not necessarily in the hands of the average user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, Google services which are the source of most of the data collection serve two functions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Application dependencies, like network location services, debugging tooling, advertising services etc.&lt;br /&gt;
#Application distribution&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A privacy replacing alternative should therefore have an alternative for these functions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only fully degoogled alternate configuration comprises of MicroG applications, which is an open source reimplementation of Google services. It provides necessary dependencies so that most of the applications which depend on Google services can function on a device without those Google services. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another option is [https://grapheneos.org/ GrapheneOS], an optionally degoogled privacy and security focused Android ROM. While not replacing google play services completely, GrapheneOS offers a sandboxed version of the google play services. The sandboxing allows users to control the permissions of the google play services, limiting the privacy risk they pose. GrapheneOS has many other privacy features like more control over app permissions and automatic time-based Wifi and Bluetooth off switches. Despite these features, users may choose not to consider this Android ROM due to its development history and other controversies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0 ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0 Archived])&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dx7CZ-2Bajg ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=Dx7CZ-2Bajg Archived])&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As for application distribution, alternate channels, such as [https://f-droid.org/ F-droid], [https://auroraoss.com/aurora-store Aurora Store], [https://accrescent.app/ Accrescent], and [https://obtainium.imranr.dev/ Obtanium], do exist. These alternative application sources allow users to install applications of their choosing without a single entity to regulate the applications.&lt;br /&gt;
These application sources have different uses, with F-droid acting as an app store for only free and open source apps, Aurora Store acts as an anonymized version of the Google Play Store, Accrescent focuses on app-installation security, and Obtanium acts as an update-grabber from code repositories like Github, Gitlab, and Codeberg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://murena.com/ Murena], Fairphone and [https://iode.tech/ Iodé] sells devices pre-installed with de-googled Android based on [https://lineageos.org/ LineageOS] and MicroG, making privacy friendly Android phones accessible to non-technical users. However, the operating system called /e/ on Murena devices has a history of not always addressing security vulnerabilities in a timely manner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Duval |first=Gael |date=Sep 2023 |title=Some clarification regarding security vs privacy in /e/OS |url=https://community.e.foundation/t/some-clarification-regarding-security-vs-privacy-in-e-os/51839 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251107035830/https://community.e.foundation/t/some-clarification-regarding-security-vs-privacy-in-e-os/51839 |archive-date=7 Nov 2025|access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=[[e]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However the situation is still much better than the millions of phones in active use that no longer get manufacturer support.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Section 1201 of the DMCA is a section in the [[DMCA]] which prevents users from breaking digital locks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Copyright.gov |date=2018 |title=Section 1201 Exemptions to Prohibition Against Circumvention of Technological Measures Protecting Copyrighted Works |url=https://www.copyright.gov/1201/2018/ |access-date=5 March 2026 |website=U.S. Copyright Office}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Law.cornell.edu |title=17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems |url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201 |access-date=5 March 2026 |website=Cornell Law School}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Why this is problematic==&lt;br /&gt;
The law is problematic as it prevents users from being able to break a digital lock, because of this law, manufacturers can remotely modify user’s devices in order to force a subscription or encourage the user to buy a new device. Usually the remote modifications of devices are performed over the internet which is why manufacturers require the devices to be connected at all times.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Harrison |first=William |date=6 Aug 2026 |title=Why Smart Device Bricking Fuels the Push for Offline Options and Open IoT Standards |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/hardware-and-devices/why-smart-device-bricking-fuels-the-push-for-offline-options-and-open-iot-standards/ar-AA1IyZsA |access-date=6 March 2026 |website=Msn}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This law is also why [https://bounties.fulu.org/ FULU Bounty] winners cannot share their solutions legally in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Market Control===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework is a relatively new player in the OEM PC sector, but in the niche they occupy, they are a significant player, mostly due to a lack of competition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Incidents==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Laptop 13 61Wh Battery Swelling:===&lt;br /&gt;

Framework mitigated this problem by having the battery automatic discharge down to 85% after fully charged and connected on AC adapter for more than three days&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@Kieran_Levin |date=2024-10-25 |title=BIOS update required to prevent premature aging of 61Wh battery |url=https://community.frame.work/t/bios-update-required-to-prevent-premature-aging-of-61wh-battery/59580 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260110051537/https://community.frame.work/t/bios-update-required-to-prevent-premature-aging-of-61wh-battery/59580 |archive-date=10 Jan 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. However, this function may interfere with manual charge limit setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Laptop 16 Overheating:===&lt;br /&gt;
Early models have liquid metal as the thermal interface between the CPU and its heat sink, which is known to degrade, leading to worse and uneven heat transfer&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@zachary_stout |date=2024-08-04 |title=Uneven CPU thermals! |url=https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-14 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251008161122/https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |archive-date=8 Oct 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Framework eventually changed to using Honeywell&#039;s PTM7958 phase change material, and the company provided a form for Laptop 16 owners at the time of the production change to request a phase change pad to replace their laptop&#039;s liquid metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cite web&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, removing the liquid metal can be challenging - Framework&#039;s provided guide to replace the liquid metal with the PTM7958 pad rates the operation as &amp;quot;difficult&amp;quot;, with 40 steps and an estimated time between 30 minutes and an hour.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;{{wplink|Framework Computer|Framework Computer, Inc.}}&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American personal computer manufacturer. It was founded in January 2020, by current CEO Nirav Patel. The company specializes in customization and repairability, the latter also helping the environment through making less laptops needing to be thrown out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of their products being highly modular and Framework not utilizing {{wplink|Right to repair#Software|parts pairing}}, consumers can heavily customize devices to their liking. Framework also offers DIY editions of their products which offers consumers the option to utilize their own sourced memory, storage and operating system. Framework laptops are also compatible with experimental RISC-V open architecture CPUs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Geerling |first=Jeff |date=8 Dec 2025 |title=The DC-ROMA II is the fastest RISC-V laptop and is odd |url=https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/dc-roma-ii-fastest-risc-v-laptop-and-odd/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Jeff Geerling’s Blog}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
As Framework sells solely the hardware and not the software, it doesn&#039;t need any more information than is necessary. The Framework team have shown interest in implementing open source firmware such as a variant of Coreboot into their laptops.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://community.frame.work/t/responded-coreboot-on-the-framework-laptop/791&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- potentially misleading as many hardware vendors still collect as much data as possible --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transparency===&lt;br /&gt;
Detailed assembly, repair and maintenance videos can be watched at the official knowledgebase&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Welcome to the Framework Knowledge Base |url=https://knowledgebase.frame.work/ |url-status=live |website=Help Center |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260209003035/https://knowledgebase.frame.work/ |archive-date=9 Feb 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. BIOS, firmware and driver updates are visible on e-mail subscription, knowledge base and (commentable) Framework Community posts&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@ Quin_Chou |title=Framework Laptop 16 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 4.03 Release STABLE |url=https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-16-ryzen-7040-bios-4-03-release-stable/79274 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-14 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260205084159/https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-16-ryzen-7040-bios-4-03-release-stable/79274 |archive-date=5 Feb 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. No [[Forced BIOS Firmware Update|forced BIOS updates]] for Windows users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework&#039;s business model is to make repairable and customizable computers, at a hardware level. Framework also makes money from selling parts to consumers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File: Framework part shop.jpeg]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Market Control===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework is a relatively new player in the OEM PC sector, but in the niche they occupy, they are a significant player, mostly due to a lack of competition.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework&#039;s business model is to make repairable and customizable computers, at a hardware level. Framework also makes money from selling parts to consumers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Market Control===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework is a relatively new player in the OEM PC sector, but in the niche they occupy, they are a significant player, mostly due to a lack of competition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Incidents==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Laptop 13 61Wh Battery Swelling:===&lt;br /&gt;
The high energy density 61Wh battery has more swelling incidents than the previous 55Wh battery&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@Adam_Schindler |date=2025-09-13 |title=61Wh Battery Inflated |url=https://community.frame.work/t/61wh-battery-inflated/75169 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251015213430/https://community.frame.work/t/61wh-battery-inflated/75169 |archive-date=15 Oct 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@John_Goerzen |date=2024-09-18 |title=Swollen Battery &amp;lt;1yr in, How to address? |url=https://community.frame.work/t/swollen-battery-1yr-in-how-to-address/57848 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251219080248/https://community.frame.work/t/swollen-battery-1yr-in-how-to-address/57848 |archive-date=19 Dec 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@qemu-system-x86_64 |date=2025-11-12 |title=Battery swelling (FL13 / amd 7040 / 61Wh) |url=https://community.frame.work/t/battery-swelling-fl13-amd-7040-61wh/77653 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251211210759/https://community.frame.work/t/battery-swelling-fl13-amd-7040-61wh/77653 |archive-date=11 Dec 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Framework mitigated this problem by having the battery automatic discharge down to 85% after fully charged and connected on AC adapter for more than three days&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@Kieran_Levin |date=2024-10-25 |title=BIOS update required to prevent premature aging of 61Wh battery |url=https://community.frame.work/t/bios-update-required-to-prevent-premature-aging-of-61wh-battery/59580 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260110051537/https://community.frame.work/t/bios-update-required-to-prevent-premature-aging-of-61wh-battery/59580 |archive-date=10 Jan 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. However, this function may interfere with manual charge limit setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Laptop 16 Overheating:===&lt;br /&gt;
Early models have liquid metal as the thermal interface between the CPU and its heat sink, which is known to degrade, leading to worse and uneven heat transfer&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@zachary_stout |date=2024-08-04 |title=Uneven CPU thermals! |url=https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-14 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251008161122/https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |archive-date=8 Oct 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Framework eventually changed to using Honeywell&#039;s PTM7958 phase change material, and the company provided a form for Laptop 16 owners at the time of the production change to request a phase change pad to replace their laptop&#039;s liquid metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cite web&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, removing the liquid metal can be challenging - Framework&#039;s provided guide to replace the liquid metal with the PTM7958 pad rates the operation as &amp;quot;difficult&amp;quot;, with 40 steps and an estimated time between 30 minutes and an hour.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One owner described the process as &amp;quot;quite a chore&amp;quot;, though they only ended up taking &amp;quot;20-30 minutes to finish&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

===Laptop 16 Overheating:===&lt;br /&gt;
Early models have liquid metal as the thermal interface between the CPU and its heat sink, which is known to degrade, leading to worse and uneven heat transfer&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@zachary_stout |date=2024-08-04 |title=Uneven CPU thermals! |url=https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-14 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251008161122/https://community.frame.work/t/uneven-cpu-thermals/55614/1 |archive-date=8 Oct 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Framework eventually changed to using Honeywell&#039;s PTM7958 phase change material, and the company provided a form for Laptop 16 owners at the time of the production change to request a phase change pad to replace their laptop&#039;s liquid metal.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;{{wplink|Framework Computer|Framework Computer, Inc.}}&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American personal computer manufacturer. It was founded in January 2020, by current CEO Nirav Patel. The company specializes in customization and repairability, the latter also helping the environment through making less laptops needing to be thrown out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of their products being highly modular and Framework not utilizing {{wplink|Right to repair#Software|parts pairing}}, consumers can heavily customize devices to their liking. Framework also offers DIY editions of their products which offers consumers the option to utilize their own sourced memory, storage and operating system.&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
As Framework sells solely the hardware and not the software, it doesn&#039;t need any more information than is necessary. The Framework team have shown interest in implementing open source firmware such as a variant of Coreboot into their laptops.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://community.frame.work/t/responded-coreboot-on-the-framework-laptop/791&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- potentially misleading as many hardware vendors still collect as much data as possible --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transparency===&lt;br /&gt;
Detailed assembly, repair and maintenance videos can be watched at the official knowledgebase&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Welcome to the Framework Knowledge Base |url=https://knowledgebase.frame.work/ |url-status=live |website=Help Center |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260209003035/https://knowledgebase.frame.work/ |archive-date=9 Feb 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. BIOS, firmware and driver updates are visible on e-mail subscription, knowledge base and (commentable) Framework Community posts&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=@ Quin_Chou |title=Framework Laptop 16 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 4.03 Release STABLE |url=https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-16-ryzen-7040-bios-4-03-release-stable/79274 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-01-14 |website=Framework Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260205084159/https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-16-ryzen-7040-bios-4-03-release-stable/79274 |archive-date=5 Feb 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. No [[Forced BIOS Firmware Update|forced BIOS updates]] for Windows users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework&#039;s business model is to make repairable and customizable computers, at a hardware level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Market Control===&lt;br /&gt;
Framework is a relatively new player in the OEM PC sector, but in the niche they occupy, they are a significant player, mostly due to a lack of competition.&lt;br /&gt;

Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by [[Apple]] and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Jena |first=Satyabrata |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=Difference between Open source Software and Proprietary Software |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-engineering/difference-between-open-source-software-and-proprietary-software/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will share user data with third-parties for various reasons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |title=Apple Privacy Policy |url=https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since macOS has an unintentionally less [[Bloatware|bloated]] integration of artificial intelligence compared to [[Windows]], it is more private and secure against both cloud and local model threats and security vulnerabilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Sherback |first=Ty |date=24 Dec 2024 |title=Apple Intelligence is a flop |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-apple-intelligence-flop/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=XDA Developers}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Patterson |first=Dan |date=12 Feb 2026 |title=These 4 critical AI vulnerabilities are being exploited faster than defenders can respond |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-security-threats-2026-overview/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=ZDNET}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Katharine |date=18 Mar 2024 |title=Privacy in an AI Era: How Do We Protect Our Personal Information? |url=https://hai.stanford.edu/news/privacy-ai-era-how-do-we-protect-our-personal-information |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Stanford University}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by [[Apple]] and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Pareek |first=Divya |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=What is macOS? |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems/what-is-macos/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Jena |first=Satyabrata |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=Difference between Open source Software and Proprietary Software |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-engineering/difference-between-open-source-software-and-proprietary-software/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will share user data with third-parties for various reasons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |title=Apple Privacy Policy |url=https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since macOS has an unintentionally less [[Bloatware|bloated]] integration of artificial intelligence compared to [[Windows]], it is more private and secure against both cloud and local model threats and security vulnerabilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Sherback |first=Ty |date=24 Dec 2024 |title=Apple Intelligence is a flop |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-apple-intelligence-flop/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=XDA Developers}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Patterson |first=Dan |date=12 Feb 2026 |title=These 4 critical AI vulnerabilities are being exploited faster than defenders can respond |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-security-threats-2026-overview/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=ZDNET}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Katharine |date=18 Mar 2024 |title=Privacy in an AI Era: How Do We Protect Our Personal Information? |url=https://hai.stanford.edu/news/privacy-ai-era-how-do-we-protect-our-personal-information |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Stanford University}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also due to recent legislation mandating operating system providers to verify user age, Apple will be trusted with high amounts of sensitive user data such as credit cards and government-issued IDs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Booth |first=Barbara |date=8 Mar 2026 |title=Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/08/social-media-child-safety-internet-ai-surveillance.html |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=CNBC}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following this legislation, Apple faces the possibility of a data breach similar to social media platforms like [[Discord]], exposing the sensitive information of users.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Chia |first=Osmond |date=9 Oct 2025 |title=ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, Discord says |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jmzd972leo |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=BBC}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Kelley |first=Jason |date=26 Jun 2024 |title=Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws |url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/hack-age-verification-company-shows-privacy-danger-social-media-laws |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=EFF}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to exclusivity of macOS to Apple hardware, macOS is completely free and included with Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, and Mac Pro. While the operating system is free, it does come with exclusive applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. With the addition of the Apple Creator Studio suite, these one-time-purchase applications (along with previously free application, such as pages and keynote) have become a subscription service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last= |title=Apple Creator Studio |url=https://www.apple.com/apple-creator-studio/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=28 Jan 2026 |title=Seven things to know about how Apple’s Creator Studio subscriptions work |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/seven-things-to-know-about-how-apples-creator-studio-subscriptions-work/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Arstechnica}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by [[Apple]] and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Pareek |first=Divya |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=What is macOS? |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems/what-is-macos/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Jena |first=Satyabrata |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=Difference between Open source Software and Proprietary Software |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-engineering/difference-between-open-source-software-and-proprietary-software/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will share user data with third-parties for various reasons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |title=Apple Privacy Policy |url=https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since macOS has an unintentionally less [[Bloatware|bloated]] integration of artificial intelligence compared to Windows, it is more private and secure against both cloud and local model threats and security vulnerabilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Sherback |first=Ty |date=24 Dec 2024 |title=Apple Intelligence is a flop |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-apple-intelligence-flop/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=XDA Developers}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Patterson |first=Dan |date=12 Feb 2026 |title=These 4 critical AI vulnerabilities are being exploited faster than defenders can respond |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-security-threats-2026-overview/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=ZDNET}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Katharine |date=18 Mar 2024 |title=Privacy in an AI Era: How Do We Protect Our Personal Information? |url=https://hai.stanford.edu/news/privacy-ai-era-how-do-we-protect-our-personal-information |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Stanford University}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also due to recent legislation mandating operating system providers to verify user age, Apple will be trusted with high amounts of sensitive user data such as credit cards and government-issued IDs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Booth |first=Barbara |date=8 Mar 2026 |title=Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/08/social-media-child-safety-internet-ai-surveillance.html |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=CNBC}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following this, Apple faces the possibility of a data breach, exposing the sensitive information of users.&lt;br /&gt;

Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by Apple and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Pareek |first=Divya |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=What is macOS? |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems/what-is-macos/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Jena |first=Satyabrata |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=Difference between Open source Software and Proprietary Software |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-engineering/difference-between-open-source-software-and-proprietary-software/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will share user data with third-parties for various reasons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |title=Apple Privacy Policy |url=https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since macOS has a less [[Bloatware|bloated]] integration artificial intelligence as Android and/or Windows it is more private and secure against cloud and local model threats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also due to recent legislation mandating operating system providers to verify user age, Apple will be trusted with high amounts of sensitive user data such as credit cards and government-issued IDs. Following this, Apple faces the possibility of a data breach, exposing the sensitive information of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to exclusivity of macOS to Apple hardware, macOS is completely free and included with Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, and Mac Pro. While the operating system is free, it does come with exclusive applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. With the addition of the Apple Creator Studio suite, these one-time-purchase applications (along with previously free application, such as pages and keynote) have become a subscription service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last= |title=Apple Creator Studio |url=https://www.apple.com/apple-creator-studio/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=28 Jan 2026 |title=Seven things to know about how Apple’s Creator Studio subscriptions work |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/seven-things-to-know-about-how-apples-creator-studio-subscriptions-work/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Arstechnica}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by Apple and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Geeks for Geeks |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=What is macOS? |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems/what-is-macos/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on. It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will sell user data to third-parties for various reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to exclusivity of macOS to Apple hardware, macOS is completely free and included with Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, and Mac Pro. While the operating system is free, it does come with exclusive applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. With the addition of the Apple creator suite, these one-time-purchase applications (along with previously free application, such as pages and keynote) have become a subscription service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Apple |title=Apple Creator Studio |url=https://www.apple.com/apple-creator-studio/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=28 Jan 2026 |title=Seven things to know about how Apple’s Creator Studio subscriptions work |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/seven-things-to-know-about-how-apples-creator-studio-subscriptions-work/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Arstechnica}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

::This seems to be a regular issue with the abuse filter [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki_talk:Bugs#How_do_you_edit_beginning_of_an_article_with_StubNotice?|which absolutely has been talked about before]]. It&#039;s very annoying and in my opinion we need some sort of edit request system or a new group given to users to bypass the filter, but for now I&#039;ll just check the abuse log and apply the edit manually myself.

==Idea for a new section==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An &amp;quot;Important&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;Must-Reads&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;Starter Pack&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;Essential Reading&amp;quot; section showing the most important articles to view for someone new to the Consumer Rights scene, or just someone unknowing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, the ability to rate an article. Perhaps as a way to show which matters are trending, because of many people having said problem with said device/service. Could be a &amp;quot;Saved me!&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Worked&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Didn&#039;t work&amp;quot;, where &amp;quot;Saved me!&amp;quot; can only be used maybe once a day, to show which issues a not just trending, but very crucial. These ratings could help place relevant articles at the top of a second section within &amp;quot;Important&amp;quot;/Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These two sections would give users a place to scroll and skim through, to see if there are any matters relevant for them, like a random product they own, that they didn&#039;t know had a Consumer Rights issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally; the ability to give pledges to article writers/editors. I&#039;m not fully sure how it would work at the moment, but it would give people a way to support editors that produce important relevant articles. Perhaps the site could take a small cut, which both contributes to funding the server costs or the &amp;quot;legal fund&amp;quot; that Rossman mentioned, but also gives people a bigger incentive to pledge to editors, knowing that some of it goes to supporting the website and its users.

:I would appreciate a pane with &amp;quot;must-reads&amp;quot; on the main page that highlights the articles with the widest spread effects and only includes well-written articles. Putting some articles in the same industry, like articles on Apple and Google&#039;s app store restrictions, would be especially effective, because it&#039;s nearly guaranteed that one of these applies to the reader. If you want to make a draft of this somewhere I would be down to help work on it.&lt;br /&gt;
:I like the article rating idea. I don&#039;t know how difficult it would be to add interactive content like this to the wiki, but it sounds like a good way to receive feedback. The only official way to receive feedback currently is on the talk pages but those are all pretty dead. Some prioritization on pageviews or feedback would be nice.&lt;br /&gt;
:On pledges, Wikipedia actually has something like this, it has a [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Reward_board|reward board]] where users are offered barnstars or real money to improve articles, but it&#039;s not used very much. Most users seem to be offering up prizes only for the fun of doing so, not because it&#039;s particularly effective. If the content is relevant and/or interesting, someone probably is already working on it. I don&#039;t personally think this site needs an economy but if it were to be implemented, I think we should plug donations to FULU or other affiliated foundations on the main page and then have those foundations offer microgrants for editors. [[User:Bythmusters|Bythmusters]] ([[User talk:Bythmusters|talk]]) 16:02, 25 January 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I&#039;d probably agree with you that this isn&#039;t needed - creating an economy/bounty system is probably overkill, and unnecessarily complex at this stage. I think article ratings etc. are probably something best handled through the [[Projects:Hub|projects]] system, similar to how Wikipedia uses it for things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Molecular_Biology/Molecular_and_Cell_Biology . creating a project like that for each article type could be a pretty decent way of going about it?

==Form pages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I made a change to [[Form:Company]] following Discord suggestion #181. I was going to add this to [[Form:Product]] and [[Form:ProductLine]] but these pages are protected. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, I am requesting an edit to those two pages to replace &amp;quot;(supported file types = PNG|JPG)&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;(supported file types = JPG, PNG, SVG)&amp;quot; to represent the fact that SVGs are allowed, and also to admin-protect [[Form:Company]] since that&#039;s an important page.

==“Summaries” of articles==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;d like to propose an idea that I think would help people read articles in a rush. Add a box at the top of all long pages (e.g. [[YouTube]], or all that aren&#039;t stubs or marked as incomplete) that summarises the article (the incidents the company has been involved in, what it does, etc) in a couple of sentences. Let me know what you think.

&lt;br /&gt;
:What makes this different from a lead paragraph? Would you replace the lead paragraph entirely with this template or would it be a complementary resource with links to related company/product/theme articles? You could link to categories/other articles there. I think categories on wikis in general are overlooked by most readers and putting them at the top sounds interesting.

==InfoboxCompany to CargoCompany cleanup part 2==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The companies have all been moved over now, the only [https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3AInfoboxCompany&amp;amp;namespace=&amp;amp;limit=50 places that InfoboxCompany exist in] are in some documentation out of main namespace and on these pages where they were placed on the same line as a notice:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Color scheme==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main Sitenotice text is nearly the same color as the link inside of it, making it hard to distinguish where the link is if you haven&#039;t clicked the link yet. A larger contrast would be nice, since the notice is going to be up for another 25 days or so. https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sitenotice&amp;amp;action=edit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This also applies to most of the main page, blue/muddy purple on blue doesn&#039;t look the best, but that&#039;s a larger undertaking. If the main page is up for redesign it would be nice to take the color contrast into consideration.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Template troubles==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, a lot of the articles with [[Template:Incomplete]] and cargo templates that display a box (any but IncidentCargo) have big foreheads right now (see a list of articles with Incomplete [https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Incomplete&amp;amp;limit=100 here]). I did some testing, the Incomplete template itself doesn&#039;t have a trailing newline, and none of the cargos have a preceding newline. A &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; is being added by the parser when the two are put together, and only when they are not on the same line. I&#039;ve also seen this in the wild with [[Template:SloppyAI]] and with [[Template:Welcome]] on new user talk pages. Welcome should be a simple edit fix since it&#039;s not combined with other templates, but it seems that anytime templates are combined, they must be put on the same line or they will introduce an unintended newline. You can see an instance of Incomplete and SloppyAI together causing problems on [[Samsung TVs]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Wikipedia pages have several templates next to each other without this problem, for example see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protests&amp;amp;oldid=1334922628 2025-2026 Iranian protests]. So the problem is solvable in MediaWiki, but I don&#039;t know how much work is required to do so. According to [[:Category:Todo]], over 700 articles have these banners, which is the majority of the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If other people think it&#039;s important too, I can work on this, but I don&#039;t know how to compare this wiki&#039;s configuration against stuff in the MediaWiki documentation. [[User:Bythmusters|Bythmusters]] ([[User talk:Bythmusters|talk]]) 13:35, 26 January 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oh yeah, some junk from my experimenting that we should delete once the problem is resolved: [[User:Bythmusters/templatetesting]], [[Qwerty]] [[User:Bythmusters|Bythmusters]] ([[User talk:Bythmusters|talk]]) 13:37, 26 January 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

:::Also, the Wiki&#039;s main config can be seen at [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] and [[MediaWiki:Common.js]], where all the css and js that you see the moment you load a page is at.

:::So, let&#039;s compare these two versions:&lt;br /&gt;
:::https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=User:Bythmusters/templatetesting&amp;amp;oldid=35089&lt;br /&gt;
:::https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=User:Bythmusters/templatetesting&amp;amp;oldid=35091&lt;br /&gt;
:::There is an additional newline between the bottom of the template and the beginning of the article text. The only difference in the source text is:&lt;br /&gt;
:::&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;quot;{\{Incomplete}}{\{ProductLineCargo&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:::vs:&lt;br /&gt;
:::&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&amp;quot;{\{Incomplete}}&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:::{\{ProductLineCargo&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:::In the second one, there&#039;s a newline to separate the templates, as it&#039;s more natural to read in the source editor this way. Wikipedia articles do not render this newline, but CRW does. That is my issue, it takes up a lot of space on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
:::Thanks for the links, I read through the Common.css and Common.js of this wiki and Wikipedia but I didn&#039;t see anything relevant. I think it&#039;s in the parser, where the mediawiki text gets converted into html but I don&#039;t know enough about this stuff to be sure.

==Feedback on changes to sidebar appearance and arrangement==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*I suggest renaming the &amp;quot;Tools&amp;quot; section for the web browser addon to something else to differentiate it from the wiki tools. I also recommend moving it to the way bottom, at least until it&#039;s ready for prime time, since it makes wiki editors have to scroll further to reach the wiki tools than previously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*An option to hide the mini-list of recent changes and restore the single line &amp;quot;Recent Changes&amp;quot; for the original minimalist design.&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;As an addendum: The font size of said mini-list is not consistent with the font size used both throughout the sidebar and the wiki itself, making it stand out like a sore thumb.&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*An option to hide the community section for those of us that refuse to ever use [[Discord]]. I&#039;d rather have a native choice available instead of resorting to a browser addon to remove it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hello, I just wanted to bring up the fact that Archive.today has recently decided to DDoS a random blog using people visiting their site (without them even realising) because they disliked a page on it. This doesn&#039;t exactly make me very happy with using the service for archiving links if they willingly do things like that.

==Some Thoughts???==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m currently working on this [[Shell|article]], and i am having difficulty deciding on what to do with a 1990-1996 incident the company was involved in with the Nigerian Government. To keep it short, the company collaborated with the Nigerian Government after protest of the company environmental damage, creating the Internal Security Task Force (ISTF) with the sole purpose of serving Shell &amp;quot;community en-devours&amp;quot;that resulting in rape, killings, torture, and execution of protestors and Nigerian&#039;s. The company would frequently have meetings with the Nigerian government, encouraging the killings and rewarding the higher officials and police officers with meals, cash, and transportation. (sorry if i get some of this wrong)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like some thoughts around this incident to decide on what i should do? I was thinking creating an incident and putting an disclaimer similar to the article disclaimer shown [[Shell|here]], as this incident doesn&#039;t really delve into a product or service per-se, more of an incident about human rights abuses and market control. @[[User:Keith|Keith]]&lt;br /&gt;

::torn on this one. it&#039;s done in service of market control etc., but it certainly seems like a issue more adjacent to worker abuses or environmental damage  which are out-of-scope (and also it&#039;s being done in service of securing supply rather than securing demand). maybe could be mentioned off-hand as context for something else (e.g. demonstrating that they have capability/track record of working in that way), with a link to the relevant wikipedia page, but I don&#039;t think it makes sense to have a full page for it on the wiki.

==Idea - Question place==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A place for new editors to get help from more experienced editors (doesn&#039;t even have to be mods) to help them with editing the CRW. I think this&#039;d help as currently there&#039;s only this and the Bugs noticeboard. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;AnotherConsumerRightsPerson&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 17:18, 5 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I would appreciate this very much as a new editor [[User:Andrew V|Andrew V]] ([[User talk:Andrew V|talk]]) 02:51, 7 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t know if this is new but there is a FAQ page. [[User:Andrew V|Andrew V]] ([[User talk:Andrew V|talk]]) 02:55, 7 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::That isn&#039;t new and that was one of my first contributions helping out there when I was a new editor, but it isn&#039;t ideal in its current state for issues not listed there.

==Downloadable zim file==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can the wiki be downloaded offline through a zim file similar to wikipedia?  [[User:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj]] ([[User talk:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|talk]]) 01:18, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Not similar to Wikipedia I don&#039;t think, but we have a github repo that is open source (https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/crw). @[[User:JakeL|JakeL]] can probably provide better info than me [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;AnotherConsumerRightsPerson&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 06:14, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think it could be convenient to some people who have zim file libraries I’ve seen a lot of other wikis on the kiwix library page [[User:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj]] ([[User talk:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|talk]]) 07:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::The backend team (JakeL and Unto) can do that. I&#039;ve already pinged JakeL here so they will see this.

:We don&#039;t currently offer anything officially, although you could look into using &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to generate your own, in combination with Kiwix. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 23:11, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::That seems like an interesting tool, though I do think that an official file should be looked into as a future project [[User:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj]] ([[User talk:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|talk]]) 23:46, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tagging as incomplete AND stubs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello. I&#039;ve noticed a lot of incomplete and stub both being used at the same time, which takes up lots of space. I haven&#039;t removed this, but I think it&#039;s quite excessive. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;AnotherConsumerRightsPerson&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 20:04, 6 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Duplicate page for &amp;quot;Autodesk Fusion EOL&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like the page [[Autodesk Fusion360 EOL on Intel based macOS systems running open core legacy]] has been replaced by [[Autodesk Fusion EOL on Intel based MacOS systems running OpenCore legacy]]. The former is incomplete, while the latter has more content and is complete. Search and [[Projects:Archive everything#The list]] bring up both. Should the former be deleted or changed to a redirect (and removed from The List)? I&#039;m not sure which and don&#039;t have the privileges to do either. (I put a Discussion note but dunno if that pings anyone.) ... Posting here since I don&#039;t know where to ask, and so I&#039;ll know in the future. Thanks! [[User:Marc84|Marc84]] ([[User talk:Marc84|talk]]) 01:21, 9 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Remove deletion notice apple macos ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have added a lot of info and references to [[Apple macOS]] so I think it could be marked as a stub or incomplete rather than deletion [[User:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj]] ([[User talk:Dosjdhdjdjdhdjdjdj|talk]]) 01:21, 10 March 2026 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Apple macOS (previously &#039;&#039;&#039;OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; and originally &#039;&#039;&#039;Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a proprietary operating system developed by Apple and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Geeks for Geeks |date=23 Jul 2025 |title=What is macOS? |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operating-systems/what-is-macos/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Geeks for Geeks}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Consumer-impact summary==&lt;br /&gt;
===User Freedom===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user&#039;s personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on. It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User Privacy===&lt;br /&gt;
There are fewer reports of Apple selling user data than Windows, however Apple’s TOS states that they will sell user data to third-parties for various reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Business Model===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to exclusivity of macOS to Apple hardware, macOS is completely free and included with Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, and Mac Pro. While the operating system is free, it does come with exclusive applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. With the addition of the Apple creator suite, these one-time-purchase applications (along with previously free application, such as pages and keynote) have become a subscription service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Apple |title=Apple Creator Studio |url=https://www.apple.com/apple-creator-studio/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Apple}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; {{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=28 Jan 2026 |title=Seven things to know about how Apple’s Creator Studio subscriptions work |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/seven-things-to-know-about-how-apples-creator-studio-subscriptions-work/ |access-date=9 Mar 2026 |website=Arstechnica}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===OS Level Age Verification (&#039;&#039;2026&#039;&#039;)===&lt;br /&gt;
Apple requires users to upload a credit card in order to access features deemed by the OS as unsafe for children. This is Apple’s compliance with age verification legislation in certain countries and states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Creator Studio (&#039;&#039;2026&#039;&#039;)===&lt;br /&gt;
Apple has moved all pre-installed free applications such as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers and requires new users to purchase a subscription to access these applications.&lt;br /&gt;
