Projects:Archive everything

Tempo123: /* B */

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''{{colortext|red|Archive.today has been deprecated.}}''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving; note, only works sometimes.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a continuously, manually updated table of all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

===Turn all existing installed cameras into ALPR cameras (''2026-05-26'')===
{{Main|link to the main CR Wiki article}}
In May 2026 [[BusPatrol]] announced their plans to add ALPR to all of their existing installed AI powered cameras. With 40,000 buses across 24 states this would turn these cameras from target surveillance of traffic violators to dragnet style mass surveillance. Similar to [[Flock license plate readers|Flock ALPR Cameras]] this data would be given to law enforcement without the need for a warrant. "Internally, BusPatrol has acknowledged how controversial its plan to collect and share this data is, pointing specifically to concerns about ICE using license plate data, but emphasizes the likely success of selling the angle of protecting children."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cox |first=Joseph |date=2026-05-26 |title=‘BusPatrol’ Put AI Cameras in Tens of Thousands of School Buses.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T21:35:17Z

Tempo123: /* Alternative frontends & mirrors */ add note for JTAP; btw all Archive.todays have been purged from the list 🥳

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving; note, only works sometimes.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a continuously, manually updated table of all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T21:33:23Z

Tempo123: /* The list */

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving with IA and Megalodon.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a continuously, manually updated table of all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

===Data breach (''2020'')===
In April 2020, over 500,000 consumer's accounts were intercepted due to credential stuffing--a method involving using credentials from previous data breaches to test them on accounts-- that resulted in customers email addresses, passwords, meeting URLs, and Hostkeys being intercepted and sold to the dark web. In response, Zoom issued an 90 day plan to address privacy and security issues. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Burgess |first=Monica |date=2025-10-31 |title=Zoom Data Breach |url=https://www.huntress.com/threat-library/data-breach/zoom-data-breach |url-status=live |access-date=2026-02-23 |website=Huntress |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251211090037/https://www.huntress.com/threat-library/data-breach/zoom-data-breach |archive-date=11 Dec 2025}}</ref>

'''{{Wplink|Xiaomi Corporation}}''' is a Chinese multi-national corporation and technology company headquartered in Beijing, China. It is best known for its consumer electronics, software, and electric vehicles. As of 2021, it is the second largest smart phone manufacturer in the world.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pendlebury |first=Ty |title=Xiaomi overtakes Apple as the world's No. 2 smartphone-maker |url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/xiaomi-overtakes-apple-as-the-worlds-number-two-smartphone-maker/ |website=CNET |date=16 July 2021 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210722172637/https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/xiaomi-overtakes-apple-as-the-worlds-number-two-smartphone-maker/ |archive-date=22 Jul 2021}}</ref>

==Consumer impact summary==
{{Ph-C-CIS}}

==Incidents==
===Kernel disclosure issues===
{{Main|Xiaomi's disclosure of kernel sources}}
Although Xiaomi's devices run on an operating system based on the {{Wplink|Linux}} kernel, which is licensed under {{Wplink|GNU General Public License#Version 2|GPLv2}}, the company does not disclose all of their operating system source code on GitHub, as required by GPL terms.

===Restrictions on unlocking===
{{Main|Xiaomi Phone unlock requirements and procedure}}
Phones sold outside of China come with an unlock-able bootloader, however the unlocking process is heavily restricted.

===Certain repairs require an authorized service Mi Account===
For devices with a broken bootloader, recovery typically involves re-flashing firmware through {{Wplink|Qualcomm EDL mode|Emergency Download (EDL) mode}} (for Qualcomm-based devices) or Download Mode (for MediaTek-based devices). While [[Qualcomm]] and [[MediaTek]] provide software for these modes, they are only distributed internally to repair centers. However, open-source alternatives exist that can perform similar functions.

Despite this, Xiaomi implemented additional restrictions in 2020 by [[Forced account|requiring online authentication]], which is exclusively provided to authorized repair centers. This prevents users from restoring their own devices in cases of severe software failure.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Siddiqui |first=Aamir |title=Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts |url=https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-edl-unbrick-authorized-mi-accounts/ |website=XDA |date=29 Feb 2020 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200229132629/https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-edl-unbrick-authorized-mi-accounts/ |archive-date=29 Feb 2020}}</ref>

===Electric vehicle conditional serialization===
Owners of the electric vehicle [[Xiaomi SU7]] report authentication errors after replacing parts such as headlights. Officials have said the Xiaomi SU7 cannot complete over the air software updates unless upgrade-able parts have Xiaomi-approved identification keys.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |title=Xiaomi SU7 cannot do OTA due to changed lights, and owners worry about flooding their frunk |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/08/08/xiaomi-su7-cannot-do-ota-due-to-changed-lights-and-owners-worry-about-flooding-their-frunk/ |website=CarNewsChina |date=8 Aug 2024 |access-date=15 Mar 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240808105354/https://carnewschina.com/2024/08/08/xiaomi-su7-cannot-do-ota-due-to-changed-lights-and-owners-worry-about-flooding-their-frunk/ |archive-date=8 Aug 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=建嘉 |title=小米：SU7所有可升级件都有认证秘钥换副厂件后可能无法OTA |trans-title=Xiaomi: All upgradable parts of SU7 have authentication keys After replacing the analog parts, OTA may not be possible |url=https://news.mydrivers.com/1/996/996066.htm |website=Mydrivers |date=8 Aug 2024 |access-date=15 Mar 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240808105545/https://news.mydrivers.com/1/996/996066.htm |archive-date=8 Aug 2024 |language=zh}}</ref>

===Mandatory activation of electric scooters before use===
Electric scooters such as Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite (2nd Gen) will require activation before it can be used. This activation can only be done via the Xiaomi Home mobile application. In order to use the application, the User Agreement and Privacy Policy must be agreed to and a Xiaomi account created.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=How to add the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 4 Lite (2nd Gen) to the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home APP? |url=https://www.mi.com/global/support/faq/details/KA-235518/ |website=Xiaomi |date= |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260213041805/https://www.mi.com/global/support/faq/details/KA-235518/ |archive-date=13 Feb 2026}}</ref>

===Advertisements in system apps===
[[File:Xiaomi device Mi Video scareware ad.jpg|thumb|268x268px|A "scareware" advert is shown in Mi Video when media playback is paused.]]
Xiaomi devices come with several pre-installed first-party apps that contain advertisements, including full-screen deceptive {{Wplink|scareware}} ads urging users to install malware. Workarounds exist to disable ads in some apps, including Mi File Explorer, Mi Browser, MIUI Downloads, MIUI Security, Mi Music, Mi Video and MIUI Themes.<ref>{{Cite web |author=jihad.ptk1
|title=Turn off ads on Xiaomi smartphones & MIUI using simple settings |url=https://c.mi.com/bd/post/10086 |website=Xiaomi |date=1 Mar 2021 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250708193043/https://c.mi.com/bd/post/10086 |archive-date=8 Jul 2025}}</ref> In many of their phones such as the cheaper Poco phones, a system app that can't be searched through normal means called "MSA" should also be revoked or uninstalled via [[wikipedia:Android_Debug_Bridge|ADB]] as it introduces ads most of the time a user opens up the phone.<ref>{{Cite web |author=maricthehedgehog |title=Revoking "msa" is the best decision in my phone |url=https://old.reddit.com/r/miui/comments/15jadut/revoking_msa_is_the_best_decision_in_my_phone/ |website=[[Reddit]] |date=5 Aug 2023 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250212160509/https://old.reddit.com/r/miui/comments/15jadut/revoking_msa_is_the_best_decision_in_my_phone/ |archive-date=12 Feb 2025}}</ref>

Most of the aforementioned apps can be substituted for {{Wplink|Free and open-source software|FOSS}} alternatives, but they cannot be uninstalled without advanced methods such as ADB.

===Sending user's browsing history to China===
In 2020, it was revealed that Xiaomi phones send vast amounts of data to Xiaomi, including browsing history, folders opened, and many other things users do on their phones. Xiaomi insists that privacy is not affected, but none of their statements really contradict the allegations of vast data collection.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Iyer |first=Kavita |title=Xiaomi Refutes Claims Of Secretly Sending Its User Data To China |url=https://www.techworm.net/2020/05/xiaomi-secretly-sending-user-data-china.html |website=Techworm |date=2 May 2020 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622003237/https://www.techworm.net/2020/05/xiaomi-secretly-sending-user-data-china.html |archive-date=22 Jun 2020}}</ref>

Most of the data is sent to servers in Singapore which belong to Chinese tech giant [[Alibaba]] Cloud. Users can verify themselves which connections are made by using the connection log feature in an app such as No Root Firewall, [https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard NetGuard] or [https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/ Tracker Control]. This shows the phones sometimes suddenly becoming very "chatty", even in the middle of the night.

The only way to mitigate this is to use a [[wikipedia:List_of_custom_Android_distributions|custom "ROM"]] such as [https://www.e.foundation /e/] or [[wikipedia:LineageOS|LineageOS]]. Users who do not have the technical skill to do this should use an app like [https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/ Tracker Control] from the F-Droid store to limit connections and use an alternate browser such as [[Firefox]] (Google Play Store) or [https://f-droid.org/de/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ Fennec] (F-Droid store). Built-in applications should be avoided as much as possible.

===Links to the Chinese government===
As a Chinese company, Xiaomi is under direct control of the Chinese government led by the Chinese Communist Party. China is an autocratic dictatorship and a surveillance state, which users should take into consideration when using internet-connected software and hardware products from the country. The company cannot deny requests from the Chinese state for user data and must collaborate unconditionally in state espionage cases. This law also applies extra-territorially and thus user data world-wide is affected.

Some phone models display a cartoon of Mitu, the Xiaomi mascot bunny performing maintenance on the iconic Android logo robot when booted into fast-boot mode by holding down the corresponding button combination, which differs between phone models. This mascot is wearing an olive-green fur hat that is part of the communist pioneer uniform and bears the characteristic red star on its front, emphasizing the patriotic stance of the company.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ravichandran |first=Sudarshan |title=Xiaomi removes Mi Bunny from MIUI fast-boot screen

===Pre-installed bloat on smartphones===
Xiaomi smartphones out-of-the-box run on their custom version of Android known as HyperOS (formerly MIUI), which comes bundled with a plethora of [[Bloatware|pre-installed]] first- and third-party apps. The pre-installed third-party apps can be easily uninstalled with a few clicks whereas the same is not applicable for the pre-installed first-party apps. The option to uninstall them is either grayed out or just outright missing, requiring advanced methods such as ADB to uninstall.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shukla |first=Rakesh |title=Xiaomi Bloatware List (2025) – Debloat HyperOS (Guide) |url=https://technastic.com/xiaomi-bloatware-list-miui/ |website=Technastic |date=6 Jun 2025 |access-date=12 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260113083620/https://technastic.com/xiaomi-bloatware-list-miui/ |archive-date=13 Jan 2026}}</ref>

===Distribution of fake news through notifications===
In March 2026, German consumer organization Stiftung Warentest reported that Xiaomi phones had distributed system notifications posing as news from [[wikipedia:Tagesschau_(German_TV_programme)|Tagesschau]], Germany's highly regarded public broadcast news programme, which also has a popular app which has the ability to send notifications for breaking news.

The notifications in question was emitted by Xiaomi's system Browser app and led users to a replica of the original Tagesschau website, which contained an investment scam.

Stiftung Warentest cites Xiaomi representatives stating the incident was being taken seriously and investigated internally. They also state that Xiaomi is "working with a series of global content providers, which my vary by region or country, to deliver push messages to users".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-02-27 |title=Fake News auf Xiaomi-Handys [Fake news on Xiaomi phones] |url=https://www.test.de/Smartphones-Fake-News-auf-Xiaomi-Handys-6284169-0/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260227022153/https://www.test.de/Smartphones-Fake-News-auf-Xiaomi-Handys-6284169-0/ |archive-date=2026-02-27 |access-date=2026-03-06 |website=Stiftung Warentest}}</ref>

The incident raises concerns about Chinese state actors having the ability to distribute fake news or propaganda in other countries via phone notifications. However, there is currently no evidence of this actually being exploited in practice.

Users can only reasonably protect themselves by moving to an open source operating system (custom ROM), provided that their device allows for [[bootloader unlocking]] and is supported by the respective operating system.

===Xiaomi Home===
Xiaomi's ecosystem of smart home devices is primarily managed through the Xiaomi Home (formerly Mi Home) application. Xiaomi does not provide a browser-based control panel for managing devices. Users must install the proprietary Xiaomi Home app on their smartphones. For desktop usage, the only workaround is to run an Android emulator, as there is no official native application for Windows, Linux, or macOS.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chin |first=Sam |title=Which platforms does the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home APP support? |url=https://www.mi.com/global/support/faq/details/KA-515616/

===Xiaomi Fitness bands===

Xiaomi has a series of smart watches and fitness bands. While watches are expected to be used alongside a phone, requiring {{Wplink|Bluetooth}} synchronization therefore activation, fitness bands such as the Mi Band series or Redmi Band series could be expected not being used with a phone for sports functions such as heart rate monitoring, steps counting and more. But they need pairing to be first turned on. Pairing requires installing the Mi Fitness app, agreeing to its terms and services and creating an account in order to use the device.

==='''Xiaomi Air Purifier'''===
Xiaomi forces you to buy their proprietary air filter, otherwise the air purifier doesn't work. Wasn't always like that, it came with an update and today you cannot use your air purifier without Xiaomi's original parts. A solution has been proposed [https://www.hackster.io/news/unethical-info-fights-back-against-forced-filter-replacement-with-a-xiaomi-air-purifier-drm-guide-c484be7db7a7 here].

This is a list of all consumer protection incidents related to this product. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the [[:Category:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}} category]].

===Warden anti-cheat (''2005'')===
:''Further reading: [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Warden_(software) Warcraft Wiki: Warden (software)]'', ''{{Wplink|MDY_Industries,_LLC_v._Blizzard_Entertainment,_Inc.}}''

In 2005, it came to light that Blizzard Entertainment was utilizing an in-house anti-cheat program when the video game company filed an infringement lawsuit against MDY Industries, LLC, who sold a {{Wplink|Video game bot|botting program}} called {{Wplink|Glider (bot)|Glider}}. The legal filings were the first time that Blizzard acknowledged both the anti-cheat's existence and its official name (Warden). The {{Wplink|Electronic Frontier Foundation}} (EFF) denounced Warden as [[spyware]] due to the lack of transparency and concerns over the privacy and retention of collected data.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ward |first=Mark |title=Warcraft game maker in spying row |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4385050.stm |website=BBC News |date=31 Oct 2005 |access-date=17 Oct 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051103043944/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4385050.stm |archive-date=3 Nov 2005}}</ref>

===Real ID (''2010'')===
Real ID was a change introduced by Blizzard, where players would use their real first and last name when posting on WoW forums (instead of their preferred WoW character, as it was before). Originally announced as optional, it was quickly changed to obligatory, with Blizzard arguing it to be a vital step for reducing toxicity in the gaming community. Community push-back was massive and united, with many citing privacy threats as the main concern. Blizzard initially tried to downplay the danger, even banning several people, but eventually buckled under the pressure. Then-CEO Mike Morhaime declared that, following user feedback, using Real ID to post on the forums would not be required.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Yin-Poole |first=Wesley |title=Blizzard scraps Real ID for its forums |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/blizzard-scraps-real-id-for-its-forums |website=EuroGamer |date=9 Jul 2010 |access-date=14 Apr 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250828164928/https://www.eurogamer.net/blizzard-scraps-real-id-for-its-forums |archive-date=28 Aug 2025}}</ref>

===Major data loss (''2024'')===
When [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Patch_11.0.2 Patch 11.0.2] was released on 13 August 2024, a serious bug caused the contents of some [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Guild_bank guild bank(s)] to go missing to varying degrees of severity (up to everything) regardless of player faction and world region. The only official acknowledgement of the problem at that time was a support article that was created four days later, on 17 August.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Blizzard Support - Items Missing from Guild Bank |url=https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/000363630 |website=Battle.net |date=17 Aug 2024 |access-date=19 Sep 2024 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240818102435/https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/000363630 |archive-date=18 Aug 2024}}</ref> Except for a Customer Support agent on the European forum,<ref>{{Cite web |author=Felranys |title=Guild Bank items gone |url=https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-items-gone/528709/38 |website=Blizzard |date=16 Aug 2024 |access-date=2 Jul 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240927065929/https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-items-gone/528709?page=2#post_38 |archive-date=27 Sep 2024}}</ref> what followed was silence for over a month.

On 20 September 2024, Community Manager [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Linxy Linxy] posted and pinned the following official statement in the General Discussion forum:<ref>{{Cite web |author=Linxy |title=Guild Bank Missing Items Update |url=https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-update/1963451 |website=Blizzard.com |date=20 Sep 2024 |access-date=2 Jul 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240927091046/https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-update/1963451 |archive-date=27 Sep 2024}}</ref>
<blockquote>
About a week after we launched patch 11.0.2 in August, we began receiving reports of an issue where some players were discovering items missing from their guild banks.

As we investigated over the next couple of days, we found the culprit—a technical update that was made to support cross-realm guilds. An unexpected bug caused one of our maintenance processes to make some items disappear. Many of these items were related to professions materials from prior expansions, but it was possible for players to lose other items from their guild banks as well.

For the last few weeks, we've been packing up the missing items that we're able to identify as lost by this process, and we will soon mail those to the guild leader character for each affected guild.

Due to how some of the data was lost, we've reached a point where the result will be an incomplete restoration for some guilds, and we do not have a way to restore the remaining missing items for them.

We apologize for that and for the long wait here. We really appreciate your patience as we've worked through this difficult issue.</blockquote>

The company unlisted the support article the same day and has made no further comments in the matter since, save to answer a couple questions regarding if the guild banks were safe to be used and to confirm whom the recovered contents would be [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Mail mailed] to.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Linxy |title=Guild Bank Missing Items Update |url=https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-update/1963451/26 |website=Battle.net |date=20 Sep 2024 |access-date=2 Jul 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241112223604/https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-update/1963451/26 |archive-date=12 Nov 2024}}</ref>

On 13 November 2024, the pinned thread was renamed to "Guild Bank Missing Items Bug – Aug/Sept 2024" and moved to the Bug Report forum. It was unpinned 26 February 2025, when [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Patch_11.1.0/ Patch 11.1.0] had been released in both the NA and EU regions.

No form of compensation was given to those affected by the {{Wplink|data loss}}. Additionally, an Australian player by the character name of Mordane on the server Dath'Remar shared the following update on 9 February 2025 in regards to their filed complaint with the {{Wplink|Australian Competition and Consumer Commission}}:<ref>{{Cite web |author=Mordane-Dath'Remar |title=Guild Bank Missing Items Bug – Aug/Sept 2024 |url=https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-bug-augsept-2024/1963451/4933 |website=Blizzard |date=9 Feb 2025 |access-date=2 Jul 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250708170840/https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/guild-bank-missing-items-bug-augsept-2024-part-1/1963 |archive-date=8 Jul 2025}}</ref>

Whistle pet trackers will cease functioning on August 31 2025, following Tractive's acquisition of the company from Mars Petcare.

==Background==
Whistle Labs was founded in 2012 as a developer of GPS-enabled pet tracking and health monitoring devices.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Welcome |url=https://www.whistle.com |website=Whistle |date= |access-date= |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609030101/http://www.whistle.com/  |archive-date=9 Jun 2013}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Whistle - Products, Competitors, Financials, Employees, Headquarters Locations |url=https://www.cbinsights.com/company/whistle-labs |website=CB Insights |date= |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260216024905/https://www.cbinsights.com/company/whistle-labs |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref> The company marketed its products as ''"Fitbit for dogs,"'' offering activity tracking, GPS location services, and health monitoring ability.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Roof |first=Katie |title=Whistle's 'Fitbit for dogs' acquired by Mars Petcare |url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/31/whistle-acquired-by-mars/ |website=TechCrunch |date=31 Mar 2016 |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20241227153306/https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/31/whistle-acquired-by-mars/ |archive-date=27 Dec 2024}}</ref>

Mars Petcare, a subsidiary of Mars Inc., acquired Whistle in April 2016 for approximately $117 million.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zaleski |first=Olivia |title=Pet Food Maker Mars Spends $117 Million to Acquire Whistle's 'Fitbit for Dogs' |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-01/mars-said-to-spend-117m-to-acquire-whistle-s-fitbit-for-dogs |website=Bloomberg |date=1 Apr 2016 |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20210730150736/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-01/mars-said-to-spend-117m-to-acquire-whistle-s-fitbit-for-dogs |archive-date=30 Jul 2021}}</ref> Under Mars ownership, Whistle expanded its product line to include models such as the GO, GO Explore, Switch, FIT, and Health trackers, with retail prices ranging from $100 to $199.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Whistle Pet Tracker 2024: Products Description |url=https://aorkuler.com/blogs/blog/whistle-pet-tracker-2024-product-description |website=Aorkuler |date=2024 |access-date=12 Aug 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250917150120/https://aorkuler.com/blogs/blog/whistle-pet-tracker-2024-product-description |archive-date=17 Sep 2025}}</ref>

Tractive, an Austrian company founded in 2012, operates as a competitor in the pet GPS tracking market, offering similar location and health monitoring services across 175 countries.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |author= |title=Tractive Acquires Whistle from Mars Petcare to Accelerate Leadership in Global Pet Tech Market |url=https://tractive.com/blog/en/press/tractive-acquires-whistle |website=Tractive |date=28 Jul 2025 |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250811053133/https://tractive.com/blog/en/press/tractive-acquires-whistle |archive-date=11 Aug 2025}}</ref>

==Acquisition and shutdown announcement==
On 28 July 2025, Tractive announced its acquisition of Whistle from Mars Petcare.<ref name=":1" /> Financial terms were not disclosed.

Alongside the acquisition announcement, Tractive said that all Whistle devices would permanently stop working on 31 August 2025, giving users 33 days notice.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |author=
|title=Whistle joins the Tractive Family |url=https://www.whistle.com/blogs/news/whistle-joins-the-tractive-family |website=Whistle |date=28 Jul 2025 |access-date=12 Aug 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250729085120/https://www.whistle.com/blogs/news/whistle-joins-the-tractive-family |archive-date=29 Jul 2025}}</ref> The shutdown affects all Whistle product models and will result in:

*Complete loss of GPS tracking functionality
*Inability to access the Whistle mobile application
*Permanent loss of all historical pet health and activity data
*Obsolescence of all Whistle hardware accessories and chargers

Users have been informed that pet health data collected over years "will not be transferred to the replacement Tractive devices" due to what the company describes as "different algorithms that would not be compatible with Tractive's systems."<ref name=":0" />

===Tractive's response===
Tractive has offered a replacement program providing free GPS tracker devices to affected Whistle customers. The program includes:<ref name=":0" />

*One free Tractive GPS tracker (valued at $49.99-$99.00) per Whistle device
*Transfer of remaining subscription time to Tractive service
*Two months free service for non-subscribers who purchase a new plan
*Deadline of 30 September 2025, to claim replacements

The company justified the shutdown by stating that ''"maintaining and developing two separate ecosystems—devices, apps, and software—doubles the complexity and could limit the quality of service and innovation."''<ref name=":1" />

Tractive CEO Michael Hurnaus characterized the acquisition as enabling the company to ''"deliver new features and improvements faster, more reliably, and with greater impact for all users—including former Whistle customers."''<ref name=":1" />

==Consumer impact==
Both Whistle and Tractive devices require active subscriptions to function. The subscription fees cover cellular data costs necessary for GPS tracking.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Whistle GPS Pet Tracker |url=https://www.amazon.com/Whistle-100-00500-00-GPS-Pet-Tracker/dp/B015DV0O9C |website=[[Amazon]] |date= |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20221201175811/https://www.amazon.com/Whistle-100-00500-00-GPS-Pet-Tracker/dp/B015DV0O9C |archive-date=1 Dec 2022}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |author= |title=Tractive Subscription - what does it cover? |url=https://tractive.com/en/c/plans |website=Tractive |date= |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250815191740/https://tractive.com/en/c/plans |archive-date=15 Aug 2025}}</ref> Without an active subscription, neither device can perform location tracking or health monitoring functions.

===Subscription cost comparison===
Prior to the shutdown, Whistle subscription plans cost:
*Monthly: $9.95 per month
*Yearly: $8.25 per month when paid annually (approximately $99 per year)
*Some older plans: As low as $6.95 per month<ref>{{Cite web |author= |title=Whistle 3 Dog & Cat GPS Tracker |url=https://www.chewy.com/whistle-3-dog-cat-gps-tracker/dp/138368 |website=Chewy |date= |access-date=12 Aug 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216010107/https://www.chewy.com/whistle-3-dog-cat-gps-tracker/dp/138368 |archive-date=16 Dec 2023}}</ref>

Tractive subscription plans cost:
*Monthly: $10-12 per month (availability varies by country)
*Yearly: $5-9 per month when paid annually ($60-108 per year)
*Multi-year plans: As low as $5 per month<ref name=":2" />

'''Subscription costs are comparable.'''

===Non-financial consumer impacts===
Despite Tractive providing free replacement devices and similar subscription pricing, there are several areas of harm caused by the [[Discontinuation bricking|bricking]] of older devices:

'''Data loss:''' All historical pet health data collected over years '''cannot be transferred to Tractive's platform''', affecting users who rely on this information for veterinary care decisions, particularly for pets with chronic conditions.<ref name=":0" />

'''Feature reduction:''' Whistle's specialized behavioral monitoring capabilities for tracking licking, scratching, and sleep quality are not available on Tractive devices, potentially affecting early detection of health issues.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |date= |title=Whistle Go Explore Dog GPS Tracking Device |url=https://www.walmart.com/ip/Whistle-Go-Explore-Dog-GPS-Tracking-Device-and-Pet-Health-Monitoring-System-Grey-Fits-Most-Collars/2542522231 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://megalodon.jp/2026-0521-0618-48/https://www.walmart.com:443/ip/Whistle-Go-Explore-Dog-GPS-Tracking-Device-and-Pet-Health-Monitoring-System-Grey-Fits-Most-Collars/2542522231 |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=12 Aug 2025 |website=[[Walmart]]}}</ref>

'''Accessory obsolescence:''' All Whistle-specific hardware including chargers, collar attachments, and accessories become unusable, requiring additional replacement purchases beyond the tracker itself.

'''Inadequate transition period:''' The 33-day notice period has been criticized as insufficient for users to research alternatives, claim replacements, and adapt to new systems, particularly affecting elderly users and households with multiple pets.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Campbell |first=Ian Carlos |title=Whistle pet trackers are shutting down next month |url=https://www.engadget.com/wearables/whistle-pet-trackers-are-shutting-down-next-month-212828325.html |website=Engadget |date=30 Jul 2025 |access-date=15 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250729220640/https://www.engadget.com/wearables/whistle-pet-trackers-are-shutting-down-next-month-212828325.html |archive-date=29 Jul 2025}}</ref>

===Supercookie insertion (2012-2015)===
Verizon Wireless was caught inserting customer- or device-unique [[Web cookie|cookies]] into HTTP requests starting in 2012<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shahani |first=Aarti |date=8 Mar 2016 |title=Verizon Settles With FCC Over 'Supercookies' Allegations |url=https://www.npr.org/2016/03/08/469606418/verizon-settles-with-fcc-over-supercookies-allegations |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309111919/https://www.npr.org/2016/03/08/469606418/verizon-settles-with-fcc-over-supercookies-allegations |archive-date=9 Mar 2016 |access-date=28 May 2025 |website=www.npr.org}}</ref>

===Verizon App Manager (2019-Present)===
At least as far back as December of 2019, many Android devices purchased through Verizon Wireless have come with Verizon App Manager preinstalled. The software is most present on Samsung devices purchased through Verizon. Verizon App Manager is a program that downloads apps onto the device without the user's permission, often doing so while the phone is being used without warning. These apps are often low-quality free mobile games that themselves contain ads, however some more prominent apps downloaded include Disney+, Yahoo Mail, and Yelp.<ref>{{Cite web |last=pkim168 |date=19 Feb 2020 |title=Verizon App Manager installing apps without permission |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/f65q87/verizon_app_manager_installing_apps_without/?utm_source=chatgpt.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220709092257/https://old.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/f65q87/verizon_app_manager_installing_apps_without/ |archive-date=9 Jul 2022 |access-date=17 Oct 2025 |website=Reddit}}</ref>

There is a way to temporarily disable Verizon App Manager; if the user goes to the device's Settings -> Apps -> Verizon App Manager -> Disable, it will indeed be deactivated, however it is automatically re-enabled every time the device is updated. If the user wishes to uninstall the apps downloaded by Verizon App Manager, they must do so manually, and individually. Some apps downloaded run in the background, reducing battery life and increasing RAM usage. Unlocked phones purchased from third-party sellers and subsequently put on a Verizon Wireless mobile plan do not have this issue.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gilbert |first=Jon |last2=Joy |first2=Anu |date=16 May 2024 |title=Why does Verizon App Manager auto-install unwanted apps? |url=https://www.androidpolice.com/what-is-verizon-app-manager-why-does-it-keep-installing-apps/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241207033309/https://www.androidpolice.com/what-is-verizon-app-manager-why-does-it-keep-installing-apps/ |archive-date=7 Dec 2024 |access-date=17 Oct 2025 |website=Android Police}}</ref>

===Selling Consumer Data (2024)===
FCC found that all major telecommunications companies were illegally selling customer's location data. FCC fined AT&T $57 million, Sprint $12 million, T-Mobile $80 million, and Verizon $46 million amounting to nearly $200 million.<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 Apr 2024 |title=FCC FINES AT&T, SPRINT, T-MOBILE, AND VERIZON NEARLY $200 MILLION FOR ILLEGALLY SHARING ACCESS TO CUSTOMERS’ LOCATION DATA |url=https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-402213A1.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429193144/https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-402213A1.pdf |archive-date=29 Apr 2024 |access-date=28 May 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Shepardson |first=David |date=29 Apr 2024 |title=FCC fines US wireless carriers over illegal location data sharing |url=https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/fcc-fines-us-wireless-carriers-nearly-200-million-over-illegal-location-data-2024-04-29/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240429180626/https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/fcc-fines-us-wireless-carriers-nearly-200-million-over-illegal-location-data-2024-04-29/ |archive-date=29 Apr 2024|access-date=28 May 2025 |website=Reuters}}</ref>

===Lobbying The FCC to Waive Device Unlocking Requirements (2025)===
On May 19th, 2025 Verizon submitted a request to have the Federal Trade Commission to remove the current unlocking requirements for consumers who have purchased a device through a telecommunications provider. This requirement is a consumer protection for the device they purchased as after a device has been paid in full and has been active for at least 60 days on the network, the telecommunications provider must allow the device to be unlocked and that device is now free to connect to other carrier networks.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 May 2025 |title=Verizon makes bold move to make it harder for customers to leave |url=https://www.thestreet.com/retail/verizon-makes-bold-move-to-make-it-harder-for-customers-to-leave |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260219162353/https://www.thestreet.com/retail/verizon-makes-bold-move-to-make-it-harder-for-customers-to-leave |archive-date=19 Feb 2026|access-date=28 May 2025 |website=The Street}}</ref>

'''Urban Air Adventure Park''' is a children-focused indoor sports entertainment company under Unleashed Brands. It offers attractions such as ziplining, trampolines, and GoKarts.<ref name="Attractions">{{Cite web |title=Urban Air Attractions |url=https://www.urbanair.com/pennsylvania-north-huntingdon/attractions/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250717153109/https://www.urbanair.com/pennsylvania-north-huntingdon/attractions/ |archive-date=2025-07-17 |access-date=2025-11-09 |website=Urban Air Adventure Park}}</ref> Their membership model primarily targets families, often requiring 12-month contractual commitments.<ref name="UAContract">[[:File:UrbanAirContractPeriod001.png|Urban Air Contract]] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250709165044/https://consumerrights.wiki/images/8/8a/UrbanAirContractPeriod001.png Archived])</ref>

However, concerns arise regarding privacy policies, billing practices, and the unrestricted use of children’s images and voices without additional consent or compensation. Given that minors cannot legally consent to these terms, the ethical implications are severe.

At least two Urban Air locations were also found in violation of Child Labor Laws.

==Consumer impact summary==
===Privacy violations and billing concerns===
*Lack of Clear Billing Practices: The required 12-month commitment<ref name="UAContract" /> is not prominently disclosed during sign-up.<ref name="Memtypes">{{Cite web |title=Urban Air Membership Types |url=https://store.unleashedbrands.com/urban-air/north-huntingdon-pa/purchase/membership |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251017133658/https://store.unleashedbrands.com/urban-air/north-huntingdon-pa/purchase/membership |archive-date=17 Oct 2025|access-date=2025-11-09 |website=store.unleashedbrands.com}}</ref>
*Unfair Membership Alterations: Adding an additional child resets the commitment period for all family members, extending financial obligations.
*Unrestricted Use of Children’s Images: Parents unknowingly grant Urban Air full rights to their child’s likeness, allowing modification and repurposing without further approval.
*Unrestricted Use of Children’s Voices: Urban Air’s agreement enables alteration of voice recordings, meaning a child's voice could be used in commercial or political contexts without parental oversight

==Privacy concerns==
Urban Air Adventure Park does not adequately disclose or provide safeguards for the following membership terms, which overwhelmingly affect children as the primary subjects:

#Mandatory 12-Month Memberships: Most memberships require a full year of payments, with only extremely limited cancellation options.
#Automatic Membership Extensions: If parents add an additional child, all previous members are forced into a fresh 12-month contract, increasing financial commitment unexpectedly.
#Total Loss of Image Rights: Parents sign away all rights to their child's photographs, permitting modification, repurposing, and global distribution without compensation or review. This agreement does not specifically exclude use of images in countries hostile the United States or in areas determined to be controlled by group designated federally as terrorists.
#Total Loss of Voice Rights: Any recorded voice can be altered, modified, and used for promotional purposes indefinitely —raising concerns about manipulated contexts.

Urban Air’s membership agreement requires parents to consent to photo usage of their children, but parents lose all control over how these images are modified, distributed, or repurposed worldwide, forever.

===Use of children's voice recording===
Urban Air’s Membership Agreement<ref name="UMA">{{Cite web |title=Urban Air Membership Agreement |url=https://www.urbanair.com/membership-agreement |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221230182823/https://www.urbanair.com/membership-agreement/ |archive-date=2022-12-30 |access-date=2025-11-09 |website=Urban Air Adventure Park}}</ref> also permits unrestricted audio recording of children inside the facility. Parents forfeit control over how their child’s voice may be modified, placed in different contexts, or reused indefinitely.

===Serious ethical concerns===
Excerpt from Urban Air’s Membership Agreement:
<blockquote>#Use of Personal Information, Image, Likeness, and/or Voice. Urban Air will take, and you agree to the taking and Urban Air’s storage and use of, an image of each member under this Membership Agreement for purposes of member identification for the Urban Air membership program. Urban Air will retain such image in its computerized membership system. Urban Air also may photograph, record on audio or video, or otherwise record your presence or use of any Urban Air Adventure Park. In exchange for your use of any Urban Air Adventure Park, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you may be photographed, recorded on audio or video, or otherwise recorded while at any Urban Air Adventure Park and hereby agree and consent for all purposes to the sale, reproduction, or use in any manner of any such photograph, audio, video, or other recording or depiction of your likeness and/or voice whatsoever by us, any Urban Air Adventure Park, and any nominee or designee of us or them, including without limitation any agency, client, periodical or other publication, in all forms of media, whether now or hereafter devised, throughout the world and in perpetuity, and in all manners, including without limitation advertising, trade, display, editorial, art, and exhibition. You further understand and agree that any such photograph, audio, video, or other recording or depiction of your likeness and/or voice may be modified, altered, cropped, and combined with other content such as images, video, audio, text, and graphics, and hereby waive any right that you may have to inspect or approve any finished image, video, or audio containing a depiction of your likeness or voice. You further agree that Urban Air and/or any Urban Air Adventure Park you may visit or owner thereof may use any information gathered in this form or through your use of any Urban Air Adventure Park, provided the information does not personally identify you or provide facts that could lead to your identification, for any purpose, including without limitation research, product and program improvements, and statistical purposes. You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Urban Air and any Urban Air Adventure Park you may visit or owner thereof from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, and/or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any and all claims and demands relating to libel, invasion of privacy, and violation of publicity rights.
</blockquote>

*Photos may be used for advertising without compensation or parental approval.
*Images can be altered—including age modifications, added individuals, or politically charged content.
*No parental review or opt-out mechanism exists, meaning parents cannot prevent misuse or misrepresentation.
*A child's likeness could be used for marketing unrelated to Urban Air, including international advertising in countries with differing legal protections.

===Ethical and privacy concerns===
*Children's voices may be repurposed in misleading promotional materials.
*Audio could be modified to imply political affiliations, sponsorships, or endorsements.
*Parents have no ability to review or retract consent, meaning a child’s voice could be used long after they stop attending Urban Air.

===Membership agreement===
====Billing and cancellation policy====
Most Urban Air memberships require a minimum of 12 months of payments and cannot be canceled except in the following strictly defined scenarios<ref name="UAContract" />:

*Death or permanent disability (requires medical documentation).
*Relocation beyond 25 miles from an Urban Air facility (requires written proof).

Urban Air does not validate the identity of individuals signing up, relying only on self-reported names and payment details, raising concerns about potential enrollment errors or fraudulent sign-ups.

After the initial 12-month term, membership renewals can only be canceled with written notice.

===Contract alterations and adding members===
Urban Air’s membership policy forces families into long-term commitments by extending obligations if new members (such as siblings) are added to an existing contract. For example, if a parent signs up one child in a 12-month membership and 3 months later decides to add a sibling of said child, the membership term for both children fully resets.

==Incidents==
===Child labor violations (''2023'')===
The US Department of Labor collected $43,505 in civil penalties from an Urban Air location in Jacksonville, Florida for child labor law violations, which allowed 14 and 15 year-old employees to work past 7 p.m., hours later than legally permissible, on weeknights.<ref name="DOLBackWages2023">{{cite web |date=2023-02-17 |title=Jacksonville Trampoline Park Pays $43k In Civil Penalties |url=https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20230217-2 |access-date=2025-06-23 |website=U.S. Department of Labor |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260112220111/https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20230217-2 |archive-date=12 Jan 2026}}</ref>

===Exorbitant Brokerage Fees on Canadian Imports===
In 2006, a resident of British Columbia, Canada purchased an amplified telephone device from Arizona, U.S.A and was displeased with being ordered to pay a $38.40 brokerage fee imposed by UPS, considering The Canada Post service to ship goods across the border would've been $5.00. Him and his lawyer started a class-action lawsuit against UPS on the grounds that the fee was "so harsh and adverse as to constitute an unconscionable practice." Other than the orders of magnitude more than competitor rates, the consumers receiving the packages were almost never told about the added fee until the package came to their front door.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/061024/K102418U.html|title= B.C. man sets off class-action lawsuit against UPS over hidden brokerage fees|first=Terri|last=Theodore|date=2006-10-24|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20061201094229/http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/061024/K102418U.html|archive-date=2006-12-01|url-status=dead}}</ref>

This is the only concrete address that can be found on the entire website.<ref>{{Cite web |title=UniTranslate |url=https://www.unitranslate.ch/en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250709142136/https://www.unitranslate.ch/en |archive-date=9 Jul 2025 |access-date=2025-06-07}}</ref>
[[File:UniTranslate website footer.png|thumb|Website footer containing links in which UniTranslate apparently has offices]]
The bottom of the website contains internal links referring to several major Swiss cities, like Basel, Bern, Zug. When visiting any of those pages, the respective city is mentioned several times (e.g. "Our services in Basel" or "Translation agency UniTranslate Basel stands for high-quality translations"), but no concrete address is mentioned anywhere on the website.

According to a comment in a Reddit post about this issue, when asking clarification about office locations on the UniTranslate website chat, only dismissive answers were given.<ref>{{Cite web |last=@Desairem |date=2025-01-28 |title=Is this Swiss translation agency deceiving its customers? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/comments/1ic891p/comment/m9wyiof/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260520204956/https://old.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/comments/1ic891p/is_this_swiss_translation_agency_deceiving_its/m9wyiof/ |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=2025-06-07 |website=Reddit}}</ref>

|Description=On 26 October 2023, the UK Online Safety Act passed and became law. This act restricts the freedom of UK users of the internet and increases censorship.
|ArticleType=Legislation}}

United Kingdom's [[wikipedia:Online Safety Act 2023|Online Safety Act 2023]] (OSA) is a set of laws that claims to protect children and adults online.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=April 24, 2025 |title=Online Safety Act: explainer |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer |website=Gov.uk |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260221095654/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-safety-act-explainer/online-safety-act-explainer |archive-date=21 Feb 2026}}</ref> The act applies to search services and services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other ([https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50#section-4 Section 4]).

One of the duties of the act requires affected websites to implement their own solution for identity verification such that it is highly effective to prove one's age ([https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50#section-12-6 Section 12.6]). There is no official government-sanctioned identity verification platform. Each service provider must implement their own solution or find a third party solution to use to remain compliant. Another duty filters non-verified users from interacting with content made from an "adult user" ([https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50#section-15-10 Section 15.10]).<ref name="rossmann:1">{{Cite web|date=August 1, 2025|last=Rossmann |first=Louis |title=Tea app & UK Online Safety Act - the world is becoming a black mirror episode :(| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNNsCuEvR5w&t=114 |ref=rossmann:1 |website=[[YouTube]] |access-date=August 25, 2025 |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=TNNsCuEvR5w |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref> These non-verified users will also be less visible, provided the adult user has toggled it.

Enforcement of this act is done by the UK's Office of Communications (Ofcom). The penalty for breaking these rules is the greater of £18 million and 10% of the person’s qualifying worldwide revenue ([https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50#schedule-13-paragraph-4 Schedule 13.4]).<ref name=":1" />

==Background==
The Online Safety Act is a "Bill to make provision for and in connection with the regulation by Ofcom of certain internet services; for and in connection with communications offences; and for connected purposes".<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=2024-08-19 |title=Online Safety Act 2023 |url=https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137 |access-date=2025-08-17 |website=UK Parliament: Parliamentary Bills |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260118092704/https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137 |archive-date=18 Jan 2026}}</ref>

The Online Safety Act received royal assent on 26 October 2023, following five years of work by Carnegie UK, working in concert with over 50 partners. In 2018, Carnegie UK published a series of blogs by William Perrin and Professor Lorna Woods, outlining the proposal for social media regulation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-09-01 |title=Tackling Online Harms |url=https://carnegieuk.org/programmes/online-harms/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241225063325/https://carnegieuk.org/programmes/online-harms/ |archive-date=2024-12-25 |access-date=2025-09-01 |website=Carnegie UK}}</ref> The UK Government published its [https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/online-harms-white-paper White Paper] on 8 April 2019, tackling online harm, with a duty of care approach at its core.

The bill was sponsored by Michelle Donelan, the (now former) Conservative MP for Chippenham and Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, a current member of the House of Lords. Both on behalf of the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.<ref name=":4" />

The Online Safety Act is one act in two different stages. The original that reached royal assent on 26 October 2023 under Rishi Sunak's Conservative government, and the amended version in 2025, under Kier Starmer's Labour government. In February 2025, amendments related to making corporations more accountable for the content on their websites, as well as accountability for people accessing inappropriate content were brought to and voted on in parliament. The bill was changed again in May 2025 to include biometric face scans and government ID requirements, which was was not voted on in parliament.

[https://avpassociation.com/ Age Verification Providers Association (AVPA)] was formed in 2018 and is growing rapidly as the age and identity provider industry takes off.

==The impact==
Since the UK Online Safety Act applies to search services and services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other,<ref name=":2" /> it has a broad impact across the entire internet for those accessing websites from within the UK. All online services that Ofcom deems to be within the scope of the Online Safety Act must incorporate an identity verification process to determine each user's age.<ref name=":3" /> This has forced many websites to geo-block the UK because they are too small to justify or afford implementing their own the identity verification process or partnering with a third provider. A list of affected websites is available on [https://OnlineSafetyAct.co.uk OnlineSafetyAct.co.uk].

===Wikipedia===
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), which owns the digital encyclopedia platform Wikipedia, sued the United Kingdom to prevent them from forcing age checks on their websites. The WMF made a statement that being forced to comply with this act would compromise the privacy of its editors and the neutrality of the encyclopedia. On 11 August 2025, the London High Court denied the WMF's reasoning, but didn't necessarily force age checks for the website.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Castro |first=Chiara |date=August 12, 2025 |title=Case dismissed – Wikipedia loses UK Online Safety Act legal challenge, but it may still be safe from age checks |url=https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/case-dismissed-wikipedia-loses-uk-online-safety-act-legal-challenge-but-it-may-still-be-safe-from-age-checks |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260206093500/https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/case-dismissed-wikipedia-loses-uk-online-safety-act-legal-challenge-but-it-may-still-be-safe-from-age-checks |archive-date=6 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=11 August 2025 |title=Wikimedia Foundation Challenges UK Online Safety Act Regulations |url=https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/08/11/wikimedia-foundation-challenges-uk-online-safety-act-regulations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250912103928/https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/08/11/wikimedia-foundation-challenges-uk-online-safety-act-regulations/ |archive-date=12 Sep 2025}}</ref>

===4Chan===
4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images.

====Ofcom's investigation====
On 14 April 2025, Ofcom issued a formal information notice to the provider of the service 4chan requesting a copy of the record of its Illegal Content Risk Assessment, as part of the [https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/enforcement-programme-to-monitor-if-services-meet-their-illegal-content-risk-assessment-and-record-keeping-duties-under-the-online-safety-act-2023 Risk Assessment Enforcement Programme]. At the date of opening this investigation, no response has been received to the information notice.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-08-13 |title=Investigation into 4chan and its compliance with duties to protect its users from illegal content |url=https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/investigation-into-4chan-and-its-compliance-with-duties-to-protect-its-users-from-illegal-content |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250615131417/https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/investigation-into-4chan-and-its-compliance-with-duties-to-protect-its-users-from-illegal-content |archive-date=2025-06-15 |access-date=2025-08-18 |website=Ofcom}}</ref>

On 10 June 2025, Ofcom opened an investigation into "the online discussion board" 4chan. The investigation will consider 4chan's compliance with its duties under the Online Safety Act 2023. Ofcom has powers under [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50#section-102-8 section 102(8)] of the Act to require persons to respond to an information notice in the manner and form specified.

On 13 August 2025, Ofcom, in accordance with section 130 of the Online Safety Act 2023, issued 4chan Community Support LLC with a provisional notice of contravention, believing they had reasonable grounds for believing 4chan has contravened its duties under section 102(8) of the Act to comply (Ofcom.org appears to have blocked Archive.org from this and other pages sometime in July 2025).

====4chan's response====
Attorneys Preston Byrne and Ron Coleman, acting for 4chan, responded publicly to Ofcom’s provisional notice, which accuses the American company of failing to meet information notice requirements and possibly breaching duties related to content moderation.

The attorneys described the UK’s actions as an “illegal campaign of harassment” targeting American tech firms and warned that this extraterritorial enforcement of censorship law was incompatible with the First Amendment.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Harper |first=Cindy |date=2025-08-18 |title=4chan Lawyers Fire Back as UK Tries to Censor from Across the Pond |url=https://reclaimthenet.org/us-lawyers-defend-4chan-against-uk-online-safety-act-enforcement |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250824210758/https://reclaimthenet.org/us-lawyers-defend-4chan-against-uk-online-safety-act-enforcement |archive-date=24 Aug 2025|access-date=2025-08-18 |work=Reclaim the Net}}</ref>

Since enforcement began, the UK’s media regulator Ofcom has reportedly sent formal notices to several US tech companies, instructing them to comply or face penalties. These letters have ignited backlash among American lawmakers, many of whom argue that Britain has crossed a line by trying to dictate speech rules to American businesses and citizens. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, along with other members of Congress, has taken his concerns directly to British ministers, raising objections with Science Secretary Peter Kyle.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Frieth |first=Dan |date=2025-07-31 |title=The White House Puts UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Notice Over UK’s Dangerous Online Censorship Laws |url=https://reclaimthenet.org/us-uk-clash-over-online-safety-act-free-speech |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260211191542/https://reclaimthenet.org/us-uk-clash-over-online-safety-act-free-speech |archive-date=11 Feb 2026|access-date=2025-08-18 |work=Reclaim the Internet}}</ref>

==Data breaches including ID documents==
Since the Online Safety Act came into effect, at least one known data breach has included sensitive ID documents used for age verification. Note that these breaches may ''not'' be linked directly to age verification methods implemented for OSA compliance, but nonetheless highlight the risks of sensitive ID documents being handled by private organizations.

===Discord Third-Party Customer Service (5CA)===
On 3 October 2025, [[Discord]] issued a press release announcing "a Security Incident Involving Third-Party Customer Service [5CA]", in which "The unauthorized party [...] gained access to a small number of government‑ID images (e.g., driver’s license, passport) from users who had appealed an age determination".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-03 |title=Update on a Security Incident Involving Third-Party Customer Service |url=https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251006163040/https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service |archive-date=2025-10-06 |access-date=2025-10-07 |website=discord.com}}</ref> The total number of ID images exposed was approximately 70,000.

<blockquote>The internet must remain a place where all voices can be heard, free from discrimination or censorship by government agencies.

[[File:UK Online Safety Act offloading responsibility.png|thumb|Parents, government, platforms, identity providers]]
Theo posted a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TZozNjPcGw YouTube video] covering the Online Safety Act and how it going to destroy the free internet if the internet community doesn't stop it ASAP. He said it's rare that he gets that extreme about something like this, but believes that it is a really important thing that the community jump in front of.

The Online Safety Act will normalise providing your government-issued identification in order to see content, making everyone more susceptible and vulnerable to phishing attacks perpetrated by identity thieves. The act also shifts the responsibility of child safety to the government, who in turn shift it to the websites, who in turn shift it to a brand new identity and age verification industry.

==Government response==

UK Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures for debate. On 28 July 2025, when the petition to repeal the act had about 400,000 signatures, the government responded with this message: "The Government has no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act, and is working closely with Ofcom to implement the Act as quickly and effectively as possible to enable UK users to benefit from its protections.", only a few days after coming into force.<ref name=":0" /> This was only after three days (25 July 2025) the "highly effective age assurance" requirement came into force.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Department for Science, Innovation and Technology |date=2025-07-24 |title=Collection: Online Safety Act |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/online-safety-act |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250724092803/https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/online-safety-act |archive-date=24 Jul 2025 |website=Gov.UK}}</ref>

'''[[Wikipedia:Ubisoft|Ubisoft Entertainment SA]]''' is a multinational video-game company, known for developing and publishing popular franchises such as ''Assassin's Creed'', ''Far Cry'', and ''Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six''. The company has positioned itself as a leader in the video game industry,{{Citation needed}} referring to some of its releases as "AAAA" games.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harris |first=Olivia |date=10 Sep 2020 |title=Ubisoft Insists On Calling Beyond Good And Evil 2, Skull & Bones ‘AAAA’ Games |url=https://screenrant.com/ubisoft-beyond-good-evil-skull-bones-aaaa-games/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201212123926/https://screenrant.com/ubisoft-beyond-good-evil-skull-bones-aaaa-games/ |archive-date=12 Dec 2020 |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Screen Rant}}</ref>

==Relevant incidents==

===''The Crew'' shutdown===
One of the most significant consumer protection issues surrounding Ubisoft in recent years relates to the 2014 game ''The Crew''. In late 2023, Ubisoft announced the shutdown of the online services for ''The Crew'', making the game unplayable entirely, even the single-player content.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lyles |first=Taylor |date=14 Dec 2023 |title=The Crew Delisted From All Digital Storefronts, Servers Shut Down Early 2024 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/the-crew-delisted-from-all-digital-storefronts-servers-shut-down-early-2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222231050/https://www.ign.com/articles/the-crew-delisted-from-all-digital-storefronts-servers-shut-down-early-2024 |archive-date=22 Feb 2026|access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=IGN}}</ref> The decision to decommission the game's servers was controversial, as Ubisoft retroactively altered the terms of sale. Players who had purchased the game, which was initially marketed with certain single-player functionality, found that they could no longer access said single-player features after the servers were shut down.

The decommissioning of ''The Crew'' also sparked a wider debate on the viability of "[[Games as a service|games-as-a-service]]” models, which Ubisoft has heavily invested in.<ref>[https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ Stop Killing Games] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260126200606/https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ Archived])</ref> These models often require ongoing internet connectivity to function and rely on servers run by the company. At any time, the company can decide to shut down the servers and the games will no longer be playable, as seen with ''The Crew''.

Weeks after the shutdown of The Crew, Ubisoft also revoked the licenses for players off the Ubisoft Connect PC app, so the game was no longer downloadable.

''The Crew'' caused the movement [[Stop Killing Games]], a campaign against issues like the shutdown of ''The Crew.''<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 July 2025 |title=How The Crew Ignited the Stop Killing Games Movement |url=https://www.dlcompare.com/gaming-news/the-crew-game-that-sparked-the-stop-killing-game-movement-56928 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250703201942/https://www.dlcompare.com/gaming-news/the-crew-game-that-sparked-the-stop-killing-game-movement-56928 |archive-date=3 Jul 2025 |access-date=13 August 2025 |website=dlcompare.com}}</ref>

===''Star Wars Outlaws'' forced update===
''Star Wars Outlaws'' was released in August 2024, with two editions that allowed players to have early access to the game for $110 and $130, respectively, approximately twice the cost of the game on release day.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Reed |first=Chris |date=6 Aug 2024 |title=Star Wars Outlaws: Here’s What Comes in Each Edition |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-release-date-special-editions |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251208183034/https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-release-date-special-editions |archive-date=8 Dec 2025|access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=IGN}}</ref> Ubisoft then pushed an update just before the full release that caused players on PlayStation 5 who had paid extra for the game as early access to have their save file deleted.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Knight |first=Kyle |date=28 Aug 2024 |title=Star Wars Outlaws Players Forced to Delete Saved Data on PS5 |url=https://gamerant.com/star-wars-outlaws-bug-delete-save-data-ps5/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240828172855/https://gamerant.com/star-wars-outlaws-bug-delete-save-data-ps5/ |archive-date=28 Aug 2024 |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Game Rant}}</ref> Although the update was intended to fix a game-breaking bug, upon full release many bugs remained.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gherzo |first=Alex |date=27 Aug 2024 |title=Star Wars Outlaws Still Looks Buggy the Week of Its Release |url=https://www.geeksandgamers.com/star-wars-outlaws-still-looks-buggy-the-week-of-its-release/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240901085122/https://www.geeksandgamers.com/star-wars-outlaws-still-looks-buggy-the-week-of-its-release/ |archive-date=1 Sep 2024 |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Geeks and Gamers}}</ref> This behavior also highlights an ongoing pattern in which Ubisoft releases an incomplete game, expects players to buy the game and act as the testers, and then patches the game later.

===Inclusion of lawsuit-waiving clauses in game-giveaway license===
In December of 2014, Ubisoft was giving away free licenses for a game, but with a catch: the terms<ref>{{Cite web |last=Makuch |first=Eddie |date=23 Dec 2014 |title=Assassin's Creed Unity Free Game Offer Waives Lawsuits |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassin-s-creed-unity-free-game-offer-waives-laws/1100-6424381/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141225200140/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassin-s-creed-unity-free-game-offer-waives-laws/1100-6424381/ |archive-date=25 Dec 2014 |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Gamespot}}</ref> for the clickwrap agreement in obtaining the game for free contained a clause stating that the user could not sue Ubisoft in relation to ''Assassin's Creed Unity'' or its season pass:<ref>{{Cite web |last=Futter |first=Mike |date=18 Dec 2014 |title=Your Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass Free Game Comes With A Legal Catch |url=https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/12/18/your-assassin-s-creed-unity-season-pass-free-game-comes-with-a-legal-catch.aspx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141221112723/https://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/12/18/your-assassin-s-creed-unity-season-pass-free-game-comes-with-a-legal-catch.aspx |archive-date=21 Dec 2014 |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Game Informer}}</ref><blockquote>''You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., and each of its past, present and future divisions, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, together with all of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, shareholders, directors and agents, and those who give recommendations, directions, or instructions or engage in risk evaluation or loss control activities regarding the Campaign (all for the purposes herein referred to as “Released Parties”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY TO YOU, your assigns, heirs, and next of kin FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CHARGES, LAWSUITS, DEBTS, DEFENSES, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF SERVICE, COMPENSATION, PAIN AND SUFFERING, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AND COST AND EXPENSES OF SUIT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PURCHASE, ACQUISITION, RENTAL, POSSESSION AND/OR USAGE, AND/OR THE INTENT TO PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, RENT, POSSESS AND/OR USE, THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY VIDEO GAME AND/OR THE ASSASSIN’S CREED UNITY SEASON PASS ON ANY AND ALL PLATFORMS, AND/OR RELATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.''</blockquote>

===Comments by executives on ownership===
Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, has repeatedly stated that "[[Games as a service|games as a service]]" is the future of the gaming industry,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schreier |first=Jason |date=30 May 2017 |title=Top Video Game Companies Won't Stop Talking About 'Games As A Service' |url=https://kotaku.com/top-video-game-companies-wont-stop-talking-about-games-1795663927 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222231216/https://kotaku.com/top-video-game-companies-wont-stop-talking-about-games-1795663927 |archive-date=22 Feb 2026|access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Kotaku}}</ref> and Ubisoft's director of subscriptions, Philippe Tremblay, said that players should get used to not owning their games.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Yin-Poole |first=Wesley |date=16 Jan 2024 |title=Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-exec-says-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-not-owning-their-games-for-subscriptions-to-take-off |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260128103245/https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-exec-says-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-not-owning-their-games-for-subscriptions-to-take-off |archive-date=28 Jan 2026|access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=IGN}}</ref> These comments have been met with criticism, particularly when juxtaposed with decisions like the shutdown of ''The Crew'' and the introduction of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into Ubisoft’s business model.

On January 15, 2024, Ubisoft's director of subscriptions, Philippe Tremblay, was interviewed by [https://www.gamesindustry.biz gamesindustry.biz]. During this interview, Tremblay made the following comment on ownership:<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dring |first=Christopher |date=15 Jan 2024 |title=The new Ubisoft+ and getting gamers comfortable with not owning their games |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-new-ubisoft-and-getting-gamers-comfortable-with-not-owning-their-games |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260211100642/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-new-ubisoft-and-getting-gamers-comfortable-with-not-owning-their-games |archive-date=11 Feb 2026|access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Games Industry}}</ref><blockquote>"One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game."</blockquote>

We also provide a lot of services to make sure that the game is accessible and remains playable 24/7.”

“So we provide information regarding the game and how long the game can be played. And players and buyers are forewarned that eventually the game may be discontinued.”

“But this kind of issue is not specific to Ubisoft. All videogame publishers are faced with that issue. We provide a service, but nothing is written in stone, and at some point the service may be discontinued. Nothing is eternal. And we do our best to make sure things go well for our players and buyers, because obviously support for old games cannot last forever.”</blockquote>

They claim that:
<blockquote>Cette décision unilatérale [la termination de ''The Crew''] a rendu le jeu totalement inutilisable, privant les consommateurs de tout usage d’un jeu qu’ils avaient pourtant acheté, sans jamais avoir été informés d’une quelconque « date de péremption '''».'''<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |author=L'UFC-Que Choisir |date=31 Mar 2026 |title=L’UFC-Que Choisir assigne Ubisoft en justice suite à la fermeture du jeu The Crew |url=https://www.quechoisir.org/action-ufc-que-choisir-jeux-video-l-ufc-que-choisir-assigne-ubisoft-en-justice-suite-a-la-fermeture-du-jeu-the-crew-n175318/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260331172205/https://www.quechoisir.org/action-ufc-que-choisir-jeux-video-l-ufc-que-choisir-assigne-ubisoft-en-justice-suite-a-la-fermeture-du-jeu-the-crew-n175318/ |archive-date=31 Mar 2026 |access-date=9 Apr 2026 |work=Que Choisir |pages=1}}</ref></blockquote>
'''(translated)'''
<blockquote>This unilateral decision [to cancel ''The Crew''] rendered the game totally unusable, depriving consumers of all usage of a game which they had at one point purchased, without ever having given notice of any "date of expiration".</blockquote>The lawsuit acknowledges that users signed license agreements with publishers giving them the right to revoke game access at their discretion, but argues that such terms and conditions—allowing for the revocation of access to games after purchase—are "abusive" and "trompeuse" (abusive and deceptive) and presented in misleading fashion.<ref name=":0" /> It further argues that publishers should not have the right to: (1) deny users' '''right of ownership''' to purchased games; (2) revoke access to a game without guarantees of continued alternative means of access; (3) make any games contingent upon online services interruptible by publishers at any time; (4) prevent refund of monies credited (purchased?) by users to their Ubisoft electronic wallets.<ref name=":0" />

===GDPR Complaint===
On April 24 2025, noyb (a European non-profit organization for digital rights) filed a [[GDPR]] complaint to the Austrian data protection authority (DSB) against Ubisoft for forcing its customers to connect to the internet every time a single player game is launched, thereby collecting data on gaming behaviour. This collection of data is alleged to be an infringement of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.

Noyb's official statement:<ref name="gdpr-complaint">Like to play alone? Ubisoft is still watching you! (2025, April 28). noyb.eu. https://noyb.eu/en/play-alone-ubisoft-still-watching-you ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260221065822/https://noyb.eu/en/play-alone-ubisoft-still-watching-you Archived])</ref>
<blockquote>Complaint filed in Austria. noyb has therefore filed a GDPR complaint with the Austrian data protection authority (DSB). We request the DSB to declare that Ubisoft infringed Article 6(1) GDPR with its processing of personal data without a valid legal basis. In addition, we request that Ubisoft deletes all personal information by the complainant that has been processed without a valid legal basis – and that the company ceases further unlawful processing. Last but not least, we suggest that the data protection authority impose an administrative fine. Based on Ubisoft’s turnover of more than € 2 billion, the data protection authority could issue a fine of up to € 92 million.(“Like to Play Alone? Ubisoft Is Still Watching You!,” 2025)</blockquote>

According to noyb there is no valid and legal reason to collect such data "Under Article 6(1) GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data" (“Like to Play Alone? Ubisoft Is Still Watching You!,” 2025).<ref name="gdpr-complaint" />

===Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora update disables co-op collectibles===
Ubisoft’s ''Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora'' received [https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/avatar/frontiers-of-pandora/news-updates/3B5RUx6tlhpwrFy0b4tbkp/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-title-update-14 Title Update 1.4] on April 14, 2025. After this update, guest players in co-op can no longer collect Tarsyu Saplings—used to gain skill points—and Bellsprigs—which permanently increase maximum health—causing guests to fall behind the host; this was not the case at release. As a result, the guest cannot increase skills or health during co-op and must collect these items separately in single-player, which materially impedes co-op progression. The official 1.4 patch notes do not document this change. Ubisoft’s stated rationale was [https://steamcommunity.com/app/2840770/discussions/1/599650563430306335/ “to prevent exploits and save-game conflicts, the game ‘disables’ open-world activities for the guest, including Bellsprigs and Tarsyu Saplings.”]

==Incidents==
There have been a number of incidents about Turkcell Superonline.
===Fair Usage Terms Incident (2012-2019)===
Turkcell Superonline started to implement the so-called "Fair Usage Terms" in February 2012. Accordingly, in the data plans called "UNLIMITED", users were assigned a data download quota of 50GB in a one-month period. Users who exceed this quota will have their connection speed reduced to 1 Mbps. There was also a 10GB quota for uploading data. Even if a user does not exceed the 50GB data download quota, if they exceed the 10GB data sending quota, their connection speed was reduced to 10% of the data plans bandwidth. This practice of Superonline has received a huge reaction from users. However, Consumer Problems Arbitration Committees found Superonline's practice to be illegal and ruled in favor of the complaining consumers. This practice was terminated by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority on December 31, 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wikipedia - Turkcell Superonline |url=https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkcell_Superonline#Adil_Kullan%C4%B1m_Ko%C5%9Fullar%C4%B1 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251114001359/https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkcell_Superonline |archive-date=14 Nov 2025}}</ref> Superonline also has an ongoing practice of reducing the connection speed to 1 Mbps and charging a re-activation fee for users who are late in paying their bills.<ref>[https://seekingthesweetnessofiman.wordpress.com/2021/04/02/cancelling-your-turkcell-superonline-subscription/ Cancelling Your Turkcell Superonline Subscription] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250709004815/https://seekingthesweetnessofiman.wordpress.com/2021/04/02/cancelling-your-turkcell-superonline-subscription/ Archived])</ref>
===Blue Coat Incident (2013)===
[[File:Blue Coat Systems.png|thumb|322x322px|Logo of Blue Coat Systems]]
There are allegations and discussions that Superonline uses Blue Coat products for censorship. Products manufactured by Blue Coat Systems are known as "dual-use" technologies that can be used to defend corporate networks, as well as by governments to censor the internet and monitor public internet traffic. These devices can see some encrypted traffic, block websites or record website traffic.<ref>[https://citizenlab.ca/2013/01/planet-blue-coat-mapping-global-censorship-and-surveillance-tools/ Planet Blue Coat: Mapping Global Censorship and Surveillance Tools] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251119071439/https://citizenlab.ca/2013/01/planet-blue-coat-mapping-global-censorship-and-surveillance-tools/ Archived])</ref>

In 2011, a hacktivist group called Telecomix claimed that Syria was using Blue Coat Systems products to censor the internet and these allegations were investigated by the US government. Citizen Lab's research has also provided evidence of Blue Coat devices being used for censorship and surveillance in countries like Turkey and Syria.<ref>[https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/blue-coat-acknowledges-syrian-government-use-its-products Blue Coat: Concern for Criminal Penalties, Not Human Rights] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251018045713/https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/blue-coat-acknowledges-syrian-government-use-its-products Archived])</ref>
===Injecting ads into websites (2017)===
[[File:Turkcell ads.png|thumb|369x369px|Picture Showing Superonline Ads which is injected into the website by ISP itself]]
Superonline has been criticized for injecting various advertisements into its customers' web connections while they browse the internet, thereby forcing them to watch the advertisements. Requests for clarification to the company went unanswered. This incident was described as the first evidence of traffic monitoring and manipulation through deep packet inspection in Turkey.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gözütok|first1=Ahmet|title=Turkcell Superonline kullanıcılarını reklam izlemeye mi zorluyor?|url=https://www.donanimhaber.com/operatorler--kurumsal-haberler/haberleri/Turkcell-Superonline-kullanicilarini-reklam-izlemeye-mi-zorluyor.htm|website=donanimhaber.com|access-date=19 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619141204/https://www.donanimhaber.com/operatorler--kurumsal-haberler/haberleri/Turkcell-Superonline-kullanicilarini-reklam-izlemeye-mi-zorluyor.htm|archive-date=19 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Yagiz|title=İddia: Superonline kullanıcılarına izinsiz reklam gösteriyor.|url=https://medium.com/@anonrig/i%CC%87ddia-superonline-kullan%C4%B1c%C4%B1lar%C4%B1na-izinsiz-reklam-g%C3%B6steriyor-ba555360424|website=medium.com|date=25 September 2016|access-date=19 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619141143/https://medium.com/@anonrig/i%CC%87ddia-superonline-kullan%C4%B1c%C4%B1lar%C4%B1na-izinsiz-reklam-g%C3%B6steriyor-ba555360424|archive-date=19 June 2017}}</ref> This problem has since been fixed and the development of HTTPS technology has made it very difficult for this to happen again.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xZPAw1uCdLqDz8F_Vz57DRvCNJTcCnPgtG7P-yeloUc/edit?usp=sharing Web Hacking Incident Database] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250709004800/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xZPAw1uCdLqDz8F_Vz57DRvCNJTcCnPgtG7P-yeloUc/edit?usp=sharing Archived])</ref>

===Applying Censorship during Earthquake Incident (2023)===
On February 6, 2023, the company was criticized for internet outages at critical moments during the massive earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. Immediately after the earthquake disaster, the collapse of the internet infrastructure, which was critical for search and rescue operations and coordination, left both citizens and government agencies in a difficult situation. In the aftermath, Superonline was severely criticized for its lack of infrastructure resilience and emergency preparedness.

The incident occurred within the context of Turkey's three-month state of emergency enacted in 11 provinces following the February 2023 earthquakes, which allowed the government to limit or suspend telecommunications access.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |title=Turkey: Freedom on the Net 2023 |website=Freedom House |publisher=Freedom House |date=10 October 2023 |access-date=3 June 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260120013415/https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |archive-date=20 Jan 2026}}</ref> There has also been controversy over the company's compliance with social media bans in Turkey during the earthquake, implemented under emergency powers that allowed authorities to take measures to prevent the circulation of information deemed false.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |title=Turkey: Freedom on the Net 2023 |website=Freedom House |publisher=Freedom House |date=10 October 2023 |access-date=3 June 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260120013415/https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |archive-date=20 Jan 2026}}</ref> The biggest criticism has been the restriction of communication opportunities for people trapped under the remains of the earthquake and putting lives at risk. Internet freedom advocates have criticized Superonline's quick implementation of these bans, especially when access restrictions are imposed on social media platforms which helped locating the individuals who are trapped.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2024 |title=Turkey: Freedom on the Net 2024 |website=Freedom House |publisher=Freedom House |date=2024 |access-date=3 June 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260101222022/https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2024 |archive-date=1 Jan 2026}}</ref>
==Controversies==
===Removing Discounts for Those Who Turn Off Data Collection===
Users who choose to opt out of Turkcell's data collection practices through the Turkcell mobile app will no longer be able to view time-limited offers, which frequently include service discounts. Turkcell offers free mobile data usage for a month to users who consent to data collection after initially rejecting it. If the data collection is rejected once more, the free data usage will be terminated. Because they have already consented, users who consent to data collection first do not receive any rewards.
===PPPoE/WAN Password Restrictions===
[[File:Turkcell SuperOnline HG255S.png|thumb|Picture of HG255S modem provided by Turkcell Superonline]]
Turkcell Superonline does not disclose the PPPoE/WAN username and password of its users. This restricts the freedom of users to use their own modems instead of the modems rented to them by Superonline. Although some users try to obtain this password through various methods, it is reported to be very difficult or impossible to obtain, especially for some modem models (e.g. HG255s). It is stated by users that even if the PPPoE username and password are known, the ISP must register the MAC address of the new modem in its system, otherwise the modem cannot be used. This can be bypassed by cloning rented modems MAC addresses.<ref>[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/isp-configurations OpenWrt Wiki - ISP Configurations] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260114003215/https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/isp-configurations Archived])</ref>

===Disabling Root Accounts and Firmware Restrictions===
[[File:Turkcell router UI no options.png|thumb|Superonline Removes the Backup and Update Options from the Modem Interface]]
Turkcell Superonline's decision to restrict or completely disable access to the root account on the modems it rents to its users has sparked controversy among users. Superonline does not allow the use of third party modems. The firmware of the modems provided by Superonline is often customized and restricted, preventing users from gaining root access via web interface, telnet or ssh. One of the main reasons for this is that modem firmware updates and management are centralized by Superonline. It is argued that this centralized management may become more difficult if users have root access. While some users have stated that they need root access to configure their modem's settings in more detail (for example QoS and Easy Setup features are removed from modem interface), to install alternative firmware (like OpenWRT or Asus Merlin Firmware), or to enable/disable certain features, they have encountered this restriction by Superonline. In particular, some modem models are reported to disable features such as backups and manual updates via files in order to make it more difficult to obtain the root password. Some modem models have also been reported to disable the ability to change the main DNS server.<ref>[https://wf.lavatech.top/ave/router-misadventures Router Misadventures: Dumping Superonline's ISP Fiber Router] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20251112022719/https://wf.lavatech.top/ave/router-misadventures Archived])</ref>

===Censorship Using Deep Packet Inspection===
Superonline is one of the most active utilizers of deep packet inspection (DPI) technology among ISPs in Turkey, operating within a regulatory environment that Freedom House describes as systematically restricting online freedoms.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |title=Turkey: Freedom on the Net 2023 |website=Freedom House |publisher=Freedom House |date=10 October 2023 |access-date=3 June 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260120013415/https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/freedom-net/2023 |archive-date=20 Jan 2026}}</ref> With this technology, Superonline applies content-based censorship by analyzing users' internet traffic in detail.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey |title=Turkey Overview |website=Freedom House |publisher=Freedom House |date=31 March 2025 |access-date=3 June 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260107043428/https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey |archive-date=7 Jan 2026}}</ref>

Unlike traditional packet inspection, DPI technology also scans the content of data packets and provides the ability to detect and block VPN protocols. According to user reports, Superonline has one of the most strictly censored internet service in Turkey, and in the past has taken measures strict enough to completely block VPN protocols such as WireGuard. It also blocks or throttles popular VPN services and their websites such as Cloudflare Warp, ProtonVPN, Surfshark, Psiphon, NordVPN, IPVanish/SpeedtestVPN and constantly tightens its DPI-based scanning systems. There is also allegations that Superonline using DNS poisoning to block certain websites. They were blocking some third party DNS services in the past.

Trusted computing

Tempo123: Fix red links

{{StubNotice}}

'''Trusted Computing''' is a technology developed by the Trusted Computing Group. It aims to restrict the workings of a computer so that it may only behave in ways allowed by the trust provider.

It is a controversial technology because it can be used to restrict the freedom of the owner of the computer. For this reason it has been dubbed by [[Free software movement|free software]] activist Richard Stallman "Treacherous Computing"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Can You Trust Your Computer? |url=https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250729024422/https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html |archive-date=2025-07-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Trust me, i'm a computer |url=https://www.scl.org/3835-trust-me-i-m-a-computer/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222231700/https://www.scl.org/3835-trust-me-i-m-a-computer/ |archive-date=22 Feb 2026}}</ref> If not used with care it can easily result in data loss.

==How it works==
The workings of Trusted Computing are based on six key principles, these being :

#Sealed storage
#Memory curtaining / protected execution
#Secure input and output
#Endorsement key
#Remote attestation
#Trusted Third Party (TTP)

Sealed storage consists in the protection of information trough binding it to the configuration of the platform being used. Trough this one may for example lock certain files from being opened if they lack the needed license.

Memory curtaining or Protected execution is the isolation of certain sensitive parts of memory (for example decryption keys) from the rest of the system.

Endorsement keys are a pair of public and private keys that are 2048-bit [[wikipedia:RSA_cryptosystem|RSA]] keys generated randomly at the factory on the chip. They cannot be changed and are required to operate secure transactions. This makes it impossible for emulators of TC to be able to complete safe transactions.

Remote attestation allows changes to the user's computer to be detected by authorized parties.

==Why it's considered to be a problem==
One problem highlighted by Stallman and others is [[Right to own|user ownership and freedom]]. Depending on the device, various user actions may be restricted and or completely prohibited. Installing and using third party and or alternative software from operating systems to applications may be restricted and or completely impossible. Modifying certain system settings may be restricted and or completely impossible.

Other highlighted problems relate to privacy and security. Because of hardware and software level backdoor, an affected system could be vulnerable to remote tampering, sabotage and attack, both when the machine is on and off. Data including files and documents can be edited, encrypted and/or deleted without the user's consent nor knowledge. System settings can be edited without the user's consent nor knowledge.

If a login account, such as a [[Microsoft account]] requires credentials stored in the [[wikipedia:Trusted_Platform_Module|TPM]] in order to sign in and unlock data encryption keys, then if the computer with the TPM is damaged, the user may not be able to log in to the account, so they can not decrypt the data on their computer. Thus hardware failure that does not affect storage devices directly can result in data loss and loss of any value associated with the account. It is possible to prevent loss by backing up credentials and decryption keys, but [[Microsoft Windows]], for example, does not do reasonable diligence to make sure people use it safely.
==Examples==
Some notable examples include:

The Toyota GR Corolla is a high-performance hatchback released in 2022 and still for sale in the United States and other countries as of the time of writing. At least 2 owners have had their warranty claims denied by Toyota under suspicious circumstances.

The first owner suffered an engine fire, which resulted in the vehicle being totaled. Toyota denied the claim, asserting that the tires were the cause of the accident. The reply from Toyota's Engagement Center was: <blockquote>The owner's manual warns not to drive [sic] in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 85 mph unless your vehicle has high-speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph may result in tire failure, loss of control, and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed-capability tires before driving at such speeds. Based on our inspection findings and the facts relating to this incident, we cannot provide any assistance in this matter.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Christopher |date=7 Aug 2024 |title=Two GR Corollas Burned Down.

The second owner suffered a more severe fire that destroyed the vehicle. Toyota denied his warranty claim, saying, "''In response to your concerns, a vehicle inspection was conducted on June 6, 2024....The odometer reading at the last service visit was 8,146 miles. The vehicle was severely burned. A possible hole in the engine block was observed on the front side, near the rear of the engine. No data could be recovered from the vehicle due to extensive burn damage. Based on the inspection findings, the cause of the fire could not be determined. Therefore, we are unable to offer any assistance.”<ref name=":0" />''

Toyota's evidence has yet to support either of these denials of warranty coverage.

====Causes====
[[File:Toyota GR Corolla marketing material.png|thumb|GR Corolla tire specifications from Toyota's website]]
Owners and Mechanics have speculated on the cause of these engine failures. A video from PIRAS Motorsport disassembles the G16E GTS Engine found in the GR Corolla and proposes engine failure results from excessive engine tolerances.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Piras Motorsport |date=29 Sep 2024 |title=What's Killing Your Toyota G16E GTS Engine? GR Yaris & GR Corolla |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1TONzhOxvs |url-status=live |access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=[[YouTube]] |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=h1TONzhOxvs |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref> Prevention measures recommended include disassembling the engine and replacing the connecting rods, pistons, and piston rings.

===Start the vehicle using my Toyota key fob===
Remote starting Toyotas with a key fob is now behind a paywall.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How do I start the vehicle using my Toyota key fob? |url=https://support.toyota.com/s/article/How-do-I-start-the-ve-7424?language=en_US |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222231520/https://support.toyota.com/s/article/How-do-I-start-the-ve-7424?language=en_US |archive-date=22 Feb 2026}}</ref> A Remote Connect subscription is required for some vehicles to process the remote start radio signal sequence from the key fob.

===Crash protection is offered only on the driver's side===
Toyota has intentionally left out all the structural metal that can protect passengers in a small-overlap crash, and has only added it on the driver's side <ref>{{Cite web |title=Passenger side protection lacking in smaller crashes |url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=72caLypmKCA |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200330162152/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72caLypmKCA |archive-date=30 Mar 2020}}</ref>

===Ending support of app suite ''(2023)''===
In 2023, [[Toyota]] decided to stop supporting the Toyota app suite, which included models as late as 2024, such as the 4Runner. Depending on the vehicle, Alexa, NPR One, iHeartRadio, LiveXLive, Scout GPS Link, Destination Search, Saved Destinations, H2 Station Finder (where applicable), Fuel, Sports, Stocks, Traffic, Weather. If your vehicle didn't have Android Auto, you were out of luck for GPS and other apps.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Toyota App Suite Sunset |url=https://support.toyota.com/s/article/Toyota-App-Suite-Retirement?language=en_US |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251011004024/https://support.toyota.com/s/article/Toyota-App-Suite-Retirement?language=en_US |archive-date=11 Oct 2025|website=Toyota Support}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Toyota App Suite being discontinued |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Toyota/comments/172subi/toyota_app_suite_being_discontinued/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20231008115839/https://old.reddit.com/r/Toyota/comments/172subi/toyota_app_suite_being_discontinued/ |archive-date=8 Oct 2023|website=Reddit}}</ref>

MyToyota app, which replaced the Toyota Suite, has built-in paywall features, such as scheduled pre-heating for your car. This affects all Toyota models. They offer the service for free for 3 years after purchase, but then disable it, forcing owners to either give up that feature or switch to a subscription model.

===Obfuscation of Maintenance Alerts ''(2016)''===
[[File:Prius Prime dashboard alert oil change.jpg|thumb|alt=Dashboard with screen showing "Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer"|Prius Prime dashboard alert for an oil change]]
Starting with the 2016 Prius, oil change alerts changed with a new generation of vehicles. Many static indicator lights were replaced with a simple screen message<ref>{{Cite web |title=2016 Prius Owner's Manual page 671 |url=https://assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47A29U/pdf/OM47A29U.pdf#page=671 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260520201239/https://assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47A29U/pdf/OM47A29U.pdf#page=671 |archive-date=20 May 2026}}</ref>. The oil change light, in particular, was replaced with the message "Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer". This change obscured a regularly scheduled maintenance task, likely steering customers toward corporate dealerships rather than allowing them to make a decision based on the actual cause. In the owner's manual, it's noted that the original oil change light remains for Canada only<ref>{{Cite web |title=2016 Prius Owner's Manual page 105 |url=https://assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47A29U/pdf/OM47A29U.pdf#page=105 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260520201239/https://assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/om-s/OM47A29U/pdf/OM47A29U.pdf#page=671 |archive-date=20 May 2026}}</ref>.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T20:04:22Z

Tempo123: /* S */ prune deleted articles

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving with IA and Megalodon.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a continuously, manually updated table of all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T20:03:21Z

Tempo123: /* The list */

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving with IA and Megalodon.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a continuously, manually updated table of all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

==Consumerimpact summary==
===Freedom===
Users can delete their accounts by contacting the support@teaforwomen.com email. Users who fall under GDPR or the CCPA can access, correct, update, or request deletion of their account.

===Privacy===
According to the [https://www.teaforwomen.com/privacy privacy policy], collected information includes email address, date of birth, location, photograph, and ID photograph. Data such as ID are stated as being "stored only temporarily and will be deleted immediately following the completion of the verification process", however data can be retained if Tea needs to comply with legal, tax or accounting requirements per the Data Retention section. User information is also shared with third party advertisers by default unless the user contacts Tea directly to opt-out.

===Business model===
According to the in-app purchases list, users can pay $7.99 for reverse image searches and criminal record checks, with the subscription tiers ranging from $4.99/month for Tea premium and $9.99-$19.99 for Tea Pro.

===Market control===
As of 2025, the app claims to have more than 1.6 million users, with recent numbers going up to 4.6 million as of July 27, 2025. Apps like ''Are We Dating The Same Guy?'' have a similar purpose.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/are-we-dating-the-same-guy/id6459230401|title=Are We Dating The Same Guy? on the App Store|work=App Store|access-date=2025-07-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250726180711/https://apps.apple.com/us/app/are-we-dating-the-same-guy/id6459230401|archive-date=2025-07-26|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Incidents==
This is a list of all consumer-protection incidents this company is involved in. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the [[:Category:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}} category]].

===Public database leak (''2025'')===
On July 25, 2025, a 4chan post detailed a Firebase database leak connected to the Tea app which included 72,000 images, 13,000 being selfies and state IDs with the remaining 59,000 being from direct messages and posts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.404media.co/women-dating-safety-app-tea-breached-users-ids-posted-to-4chan/|title=Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan|first1=Emanuel|last1=Maiberg|first2=Joseph|last2=Cox|date=2025-07-25|work=404 Media|access-date=2025-07-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250727101532/https://www.404media.co/women-dating-safety-app-tea-breached-users-ids-posted-to-4chan/|archive-date=2025-07-27|url-status=live}}</ref> It was alleged by the anonymous user the database contained no credential authentication.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://decrypt.co/331961/tea-app-claimed-protect-women-exposes-72000-ids-epic-security-fail|title=Tea App That Claimed to Protect Women Exposes 72,000 IDs in Epic Security Fail|first=Jose|last=Lanz|date=2025-07-25|work=Decrypt|access-date=2025-07-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250727222442/https://decrypt.co/331961/tea-app-claimed-protect-women-exposes-72000-ids-epic-security-fail|archive-date=2025-07-27|url-status=live}}</ref> Due to the nature of the alleged unencrypted database, users from 4chan were able to use the leaked data to create a website called "TeaSpill" for others to choose one of two selfies based on looks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/ask/comments/1maag7d/is_teaspill_just_the_start/|title=Is teaspill just the start?|author=u/B_drgnthrn|date=2025-07-27|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-07-28|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250729170106/https://old.reddit.com/r/ask/comments/1maag7d/is_teaspill_just_the_start/|archive-date=29 Jul 2025|url-status=live}}</ref> Another website would be made on Google maps that paired user ID strings with their city's approximate location.

On July 27, Tea made an official statement hidden on their website that stated no email addresses or phone numbers were breached and "only users who signed up before February 2024 were affected".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.teaforwomen.com/cyberincident|title=Official Statement|work=Tea|access-date=2025-07-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250727215259/https://www.teaforwomen.com/cyberincident|archive-date=2025-07-27|url-status=live}}</ref> This questions the reliability of the privacy policy, as the verification photos were not deleted over a year after verifying the accounts, to which Tea claimed it was due to "cyber-bullying prevention". The email also claimed the requirement for ID images was removed at the end of 2023.

The next day on July 28, it was reported by 404Media a second "major security issue" was discovered by Kasra Rahjerdi, an independent security researcher that included 1.1 million direct messages between users, with the messages spanning from 2023 to July 2025.<ref name="404-2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.404media.co/a-second-tea-breach-reveals-users-dms-about-abortions-and-cheating/|title=A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating|first1=Emanuel|last1=Maiberg|first2=Joseph|last2=Cox|date=2025-07-28|work=404 Media|access-date=2025-07-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250728172154/https://www.404media.co/a-second-tea-breach-reveals-users-dms-about-abortions-and-cheating/|archive-date=2025-07-28|url-status=live}}</ref> The contents of some messages included abortion, sharing information about husbands, and phone numbers.

[[File:TeaOnHer App Store rating.jpg|thumb|right|A list of the top free apps on the American App Store in August 2025]]
On July 29, the Tea app disabled direct messaging for all users as a result of the second data leak, stating "at this time, we have found no evidence of access to other parts of our environment".<ref name="404-3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.404media.co/tea-app-turns-off-dms-after-exposing-messages-about-abortions-cheating/|title=Tea App Turns Off DMs After Exposing Messages About Abortions, Cheating|first=Joseph|last=Cox|date=2025-07-29|work=404 Media|access-date=2025-07-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250729151012/https://www.404media.co/tea-app-turns-off-dms-after-exposing-messages-about-abortions-cheating/|archive-date=2025-07-29|url-status=live}}</ref> On the same day, a {{Wplink|class action}} lawsuit was filed by the Cole & Van Note law firm.<ref name="404-4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.404media.co/tea-user-files-class-action-after-womens-safety-app-exposes-data/|title=Tea User Files Class Action After Women’s Safety App Exposes Data|first1=Emanuel|last1=Maiberg|first2=Joseph|last2=Cox|date=2025-07-29|work=404 Media|access-date=2025-07-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250729194612/https://www.404media.co/tea-user-files-class-action-after-womens-safety-app-exposes-data/|archive-date=2025-07-29|url-status=live}}</ref> The suit was based on the premise of "the people that went to this site thought they were going to be treated with their information would be treated with anonymity, and that trust was violated".<ref name="404-4" />

In August, it was reported an app for men called "TeaOnHer" was leaking user data (IDs, email, usernames) in the same vein as Tea, with a publicly exposed API. <ref name="TC-TOH">{{Cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/teaonher-anonymous-tea-app-rises-apple-store-faces-security-issues-2025-8|title=There's a new 'Tea' app going viral.

On October 22, 2025, Tea Dating Advice and TeaOnHer were removed from the [[App Store]] because they "failed to meet Apple’s requirements around content moderation and user privacy", specifically guidelines 1.2, 5.1.2, and 5.6.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/22/apple-confirms-it-pulled-controversial-dating-apps-tea-and-teaonher-from-the-app-store/|title=Apple confirms it pulled controversial dating apps Tea and TeaOnHer from the App Store|first=Sarah|last=Perez|date=2022-10-22|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2025-10-23 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260114084429/https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/22/apple-confirms-it-pulled-controversial-dating-apps-tea-and-teaonher-from-the-app-store/ |archive-date=14 Jan 2026}}</ref> On one of their [[Instagram]] posts, the company replied to a user stating "the app is temporarily unavailable on the app store" and "thank you so much for your patience while we work to get this resolved".<ref>{{Cite web |author=@theteapartygirls |date=2025-10-22 |title=@alie.lima is our spirit animal👯💜🫖 #loveisblind |url=https://www.kittygr.am/theteapartygirls/reel/DQIpdRokRwk/?hl=en |url-status=live |archive-url=https://megalodon.jp/2026-0521-0501-04/https://kittygr.am:443/theteapartygirls/reel/DQIpdRokRwk/?hl=en |archive-date=20 May 2026 |work=Instagram |quote=Hi 💜 The app is temporarily unavailable on the App Store.

The '''Footlong Pass''' is a [[subscription service]] for the [[Subway]] app initially released in August 2022.<ref name="SubwayNews">{{Cite web|url=https://newsroom.subway.com/Sold-Out-No-More-Subway-Brings-Back-Fan-Favorite-Footlong-Pass|title=Sold Out No More: Subway Brings Back Fan-Favorite Footlong Pass|date=2023-03-17|work=Subway Newsroom|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240628141146/https://newsroom.subway.com/Sold-Out-No-More-Subway-Brings-Back-Fan-Favorite-Footlong-Pass|archive-date=2024-06-28|url-status=live}}</ref> The subscription allows subscribers to theoretically get 50% off the price of one footlong sandwich every day at a majority of Subway stores in the span of a month.<ref name="SubwayNews" />

==Background==

==Footlong pass ineligibility==
[[File:Subway Footlong Pass screenshot.webp|thumb|right|150px|Screenshot of footlong pass being denied (2025)]]
In 2023, it was reported by a user that the "place order" button in the Subway app would not function with the footlong pass active.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/128q364/footlong_pass_is_a_scam/|title=FOOTLONG PASS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!! |author=u/ArgonianSwagLord|date=2023-04-01|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230401154723/https://old.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/128q364/footlong_pass_is_a_scam/|archive-date=1 Apr 2023|url-status=live}}</ref> Other users during this time, however, have reported the pass worked correctly for them.

In 2025, many more users complained that their local Subway stores were not accepting the coupon through the app.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1l5ntr1/footlong_pass_is_officially_a_scam/|title=Footlong Pass is Officially a Scam|author=u/PancitCanton243|date=2025-06-07|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222230410/https://old.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1l5ntr1/footlong_pass_is_officially_a_scam/|archive-date=22 Feb 2026|url-status=live}}</ref> One user on [[Reddit]] reported that their footlong pass was deleted by Subway.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1lca1hl/they_deleted_my_footlong_pass/|title=They deleted my foot-long pass|author=u/123voltaire321|date=2025-06-15|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-08-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222230439/https://old.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1lca1hl/they_deleted_my_footlong_pass/|archive-date=22 Feb 2026|url-status=live}}</ref> A workaround some users mentioned was to scan your profile QR code to activate the pass in-person.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1l3vq41/footlong_pass_is_actually_a_scam/|title=Footlong Pass is actually a scam|author=u/PlumpAF|date=2025-06-05|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222230511/https://old.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1l3vq41/footlong_pass_is_actually_a_scam/|archive-date=22 Feb 2026|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Subway's response===

In December 2023, the corporate office sent an email to franchises stating "Effective Dec. 28, 2023, all restaurants will be required to honor all digital programs and promotions, including loyalty rewards and digital discounts, [...] In addition, loyalty incentive programs designed to attract new loyalty members are mandatory and will not be reimbursed by Subway."<ref name="ktla">{{Cite web|url=https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/subway-franchises-wont-be-able-to-reject-the-companys-digital-coupons-or-promotions-report/|title=Subway franchises won’t be able to reject the company’s digital coupons or promotions: report |date=2023-12-03|first=Iman|last=Palm|work=KTLA5|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250222142321/https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/subway-franchises-wont-be-able-to-reject-the-companys-digital-coupons-or-promotions-report/|archive-date=2025-02-22|url-status=live}}</ref> However, as previously mentioned, franchisees were rejecting the footlong pass promotion in 2025.

==Consumer response==
Customers on sites such as Reddit believe that the Footlong Pass was a scam, as a majority of stores were not accepting a coupon that costed a one-time charge of $15. Many have demanded refunds from the company, with one user initially being charged twice for one pass.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1kr6t30/footlong_pass/|title=Footlong pass|author=u/Comfortable-Claim861|date=2025-05-20|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222230609/https://old.reddit.com/r/subway/comments/1kr6t30/footlong_pass/|archive-date=22 Feb 2026|url-status=live}}</ref>

'''{{Wplink|Spotify}}''' is a global music-streaming service founded in 2006 in Sweden by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon. It allows users to stream music, podcasts, and other audio content via a freemium model, offering both free, ad-supported access and premium subscription services.

==Consumer-impact summary==
====Freedom====
Users can request to obtain a copy of and delete their user data through the app and website.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://support.spotify.com/us/article/data-rights-and-privacy-settings/ |title=Data rights and privacy choices |work=Spotify Support |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250916033527/https://support.spotify.com/us/article/data-rights-and-privacy-settings/ |archive-date=16 Sep 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref> According to the user guidelines, users cannot share their accounts with others (section 13) or reverse-engineer the Spotify client (section 1).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/user-guidelines/ |title=Spotify User Guidelines |website=Spotify |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250907171037/https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/user-guidelines/|archive-date=2025-09-07 |url-status=live}}</ref> Users do not own music with Spotify and thus cannot access any of the music without the Spotify client.

====Privacy====
According to the privacy policy, user data collected includes name, estimated age, address, gender, phone number, and date of birth, with optional data such as voice and usage data being used to "personalize your account".<ref name="SpotifyPP">{{Cite web |url=https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/privacy-policy/ |title=Privacy Policy |date=27 Aug 2025 |website=Spotify |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250916051241/https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/privacy-policy/ |archive-date=16 Sep 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref> This data, including listening history, is retained by Spotify for "as long as necessary" until the user makes a deletion request (with the exception of search queries after 90 days). Spotify also states they share your data with third parties, including Google Maps to verify addresses when purchasing a premium subscription.<ref name="SpotifyPP" />

====Business model====
For free users, Spotify plays advertisements in-between songs, with those same free users getting 6 song skips per hour and being restricted to shuffle-only play until September 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.theverge.com/news/778176/spotify-free-user-upgrade-play-specific-songs |title=Spotify’s free users can finally play the songs they want |first=Jess |last=Weatherbed |date=15 Sep 2025 |website=TheVerge |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250917210559/https://www.theverge.com/news/778176/spotify-free-user-upgrade-play-specific-songs |archive-date=17 Sep 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref> For premium users, the subscriptions cost between USD $11.99 per month for an individual, USD $16.99/m for a duo plan, and USD $19.99/m for a family plan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.spotify.com/us/premium/ |title=Spotify Premium (US) |website=Spotify |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260128012808/https://www.spotify.com/us/premium/ |archive-date=28 Jan 2026}}</ref>

On 20 October 2022, security researchers released a report on how they achieved root on the Car Thing, uncovering how the device could potentially be hacked. Spotify responded on 21 October 2022, saying that the product was unsupported, end-of-life, and therefore no bugs would be accepted pertaining to the product.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://oddsolutions.github.io/Spotify-Car-Thing-Root/ |title=Spotify Car Thing - Root and Custom OS toolkit |website=GitHub |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250801132952/https://oddsolutions.github.io/Spotify-Car-Thing-Root/ |archive-date=1 Aug 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref> The product had gone from its launch to "end-of-life" in the span of 8 months.

On 23 May 2024, Spotify announced via email to users that support for the Car Thing would end in December of that year, [[Planned obsolescence|rendering the device inoperable]] after that point.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |author=@mypussyfarts |date=23 May 2024 |title=corndog nipple ring on X |url=https://nitter.catsarch.com/mypussyfarts/status/1793679258105348378?mx=2 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260520191058/https://nitter.catsarch.com/mypussyfarts/status/1793679258105348378?mx=2 |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=30 Oct 2025 |website=X |quote=what the fuck do you mean stop operating some people actually use the car thing DAILY @Spotify}}</ref>

The Car Thing support page advised Car Thing owners to "contact your state or local waste disposal department to determine how to dispose of or recycle Car Thing in accordance with applicable laws and regulations".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://support.spotify.com/us/article/car-thing-discontinued/ |title=Car Thing discontinued |work=Spotify Support |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250828003549/https://support.spotify.com/us/article/car-thing-discontinued/ |archive-date=28 Aug 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref> On 28 May 2024, a class action lawsuit was filed against Spotify due to a lack of refunds offered for the Car Thing product.

"All of the claims herein arise out of Spotify's decision to unilaterally and without recourse cut off its support of the Car Thing and announce its plan to terminate its functionality on December 9, 2024," the lawsuit reads. "Many owners of the Car Thing have complained in public forums and to Spotify about the discontinuance of the product and have requested that Spotify address and remedy the problem by providing a refund, equivalent replacement, or allow the Car Thing to be open sourced for use outside of Spotify's control. Spotify has stated that it will not refund, or replace, the Car Thing, instead recommending that Consumers 'reset your Car Thing to factory settings and safely dispose of your device following local electronic waste guidelines.'" <ref>[[:File:Spotify-car-thing-lawsuit-class-action-mazumder-may-2024.pdf]] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20260510124305/https://consumerrights.wiki/images/2/25/Spotify-car-thing-lawsuit-class-action-mazumder-may-2024.pdf Archived])</ref>

On 31 May 2024, Spotify began offering refunds for the Car Thing.

===Voice and environment surveillance patent ''(2021)''===
<blockquote>The audio signals may be recorded in real-time, or may correspond to previously-recorded audio signals...

For example, such metadata might include an emotional state...... in one example aspect, the content metadata indicates an emotional state of a speaker providing the voice.</blockquote>

In 2021, Spotify was granted [https://consumerrights.wiki/images/e/e3/US10891948.pdf US patent 10891948 B2] for ''"identification of Taste Attributes from an audio signal".'' This describes tech that:

#Analyzes what users say
#Analyzes background noise to determine where you are(bus stop, coffee shop, home, etc)
#Scores incoming data to guess a user's mood or emotional state.

The patent describes listening to birds chirping, printers printing, cars on a street. This technology enables Spotify to create detailed profiles of their users' activities, how they feel, and social interactions without users understanding that their data is being collected in this way.

This is marketed as a music recommendation system. The patent demonstrates that Spotify's capabilities go far further than music taste evaluation, with the ability for personal surveillance.

According to a statement Spotify gave at news media they are not currently using this in their service, however they have not committed to never using this technology on their service.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heater |first=Alex |title=Spotify is patenting a surveillance system disguised as a music recommendation engine |url=https://www.soundguys.com/spotify-surveillence-patent-51768/ |website=SoundGuys |date=14 Apr 2021 |access-date=16 Jun 2025 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210529113552/https://www.soundguys.com/spotify-surveillence-patent-51768/ |archive-date=29 May 2021}}</ref>

===Fake artists and playlist manipulation ''(2024-)''===
In recent years, Spotify has experimented with inserting extra AI and long-form content into user playlists, in order to lower the average royalty cost paid out per user.

*Perfect Fit Content (PFC) Program:

::An internal initiative to seed playlists with AI-generated or low-cost music (''e.g., ambient and jazz'') from Swedish and English producers. These tracks replaced human artists to reduce royalty payouts.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=The truth about Spotify |url=https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-ugly-truth-about-spotify-is-finally |date=19 Dec 2024 |first=Ted |last=Gioia |website=The Honest Broker |access-date=17 Sep 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250905090427/https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-ugly-truth-about-spotify-is-finally |archive-date=5 Sep 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref>

*Fake artist networks:

::Investigators found twenty individuals operating under 500 aliases (''e.g., Trumpet Bumblefig, Vattio Bud, et al'') generating millions of streams. One obscure Swedish jazz artist outperformed Grammy winning albums.<ref name=":1" />
::Spotify managers claimed that listeners "wouldn't know the difference" between authentic and PFC tracks upon concerns brought up by other employees.<ref name=":1" />

===DMCA notice against ReVanced ''(September 2025)''===
[[File:ReVanced DMCA from Spotify.png|thumb|275px|ReVanced's announcement of the DMCA notice filed by Spotify.]]
On 12 September 2025, Spotify filed a [[DMCA]] take-down notice against ReVanced's "Unlock Spotify Premium" patch.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |date=12 Sep 2025 |title=Spotify DMCA notice - Seeking legal help |url=https://revanced.app/announcements/15-spotify-dmca-notice-seeking-legal-help |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/qb8Oq |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=30 Oct 2025 |website=ReVanced}}</ref> Spotify alleged that the patch enabled circumvention of its digital protection measures by enabling users to remove advertisements and UI restrictions on the free version of Spotify. This is part of a broader crackdown where Spotify has disabled users from utilizing third-party tools to access its content, such as Grayjay.<ref>{{Cite web |author= |date= |title=FMHY-Notes.md • fmhy/FMHY Wiki |url=https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/wiki/FMHY%E2%80%90Notes.md#android-spotify-note |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251030055834/https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/wiki/FMHY%E2%80%90Notes.md#android-spotify-note |archive-date=30 Oct 2025 |access-date=30 Oct 2025 |website=GitHub |quote=Android Spotify Note - Keep in mind that Spotify patchers are not currently working for all users in all regions.}}</ref>

Louis Rossmann and ReVanced have proven that the patch only removes client-side restrictions and does not violate 17 U.S. Code § 1201 of the DMCA,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rossmann |first=Louis |date=17 Sep 2025 |title=Spotify wants you in prison for skipping lines of code: the revanced case & where I stand |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgFCC9haqB4 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=kgFCC9haqB4 |archive-date=18 Sep 2025 |access-date=30 Oct 2025 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> but ReVanced complied with the request regardless and is still aiming to regain the right to host the patch.

===Spotify API restrictions===
On March 9, 2026, Spotify has [https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2026-02-06-update-on-developer-access-and-platform-security implemented significant restrictions on the use of its API] to "enhance platform security and manage developer access more effectively". Main changes:

==Incidents==
===Data breach (''2014'')===
In January 2014, Snapchat experienced a data breach that exposed the usernames and partial phone numbers of 4.6 million users through an API exploit.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.epic.org/2014/01/snapchat-data-breach-exposes-4.html|title=Snapchat Data Breach Exposes 4.6 Million Usernames|date=2014-01-02|work=Epic|access-date=2025-04-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250212024420/https://archive.epic.org/2014/01/snapchat-data-breach-exposes-4.html|archive-date=2025-02-12|url-status=live}}</ref> A couple days after the breach, Snapchat updated the app to allow users to opt-out of linking phone numbers to their usernames through the "find friends" function of the app.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.databreachtoday.com/snapchat-updates-security-after-breach-a-6368|title=Snapchat Updates Security After Breach|first=Jeffery|last=Roman|date=2014-01-10|work=Data Breach Today|access-date=2025-04-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240224192448/https://www.databreachtoday.com/snapchat-updates-security-after-breach-a-6368|archive-date=2024-02-24|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Privacy concerns===

====Snapchat Maps (''2017'')====
In June 2017, a new feature called "Maps" was released that showed users where their friends were while using the app.<ref name="GSC">{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/23/snapchat-maps-privacy-safety-concerns|title=Snapchat's new map feature raises fears of stalking and bullying|first=Olivia|last=Solon|work=TheGuardian|date=2017-06-23|access-date=2025-03-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250214100959/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/23/snapchat-maps-privacy-safety-concerns|archive-date=2025-02-14|url-status=live}}</ref> This feature was from the acquisition of the company Zenly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/21/snapchat-buys-zenly/|title=Snapchat acquires social map app Zenly for $250M to $350M|first=Josh|last=Constine|date=2017-06-21|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2025-03-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241227173128/https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/21/snapchat-buys-zenly/|archive-date=2024-12-27|url-status=live}}</ref> Many feared the feature would be used in stalking and many child safety groups were wary, with one stating "we would encourage users not to share their location, especially with people they don’t know in person".<ref name="GSC" />

As of February 2025, users can opt out of the maps feature by disabling location services in their device settings or through the app. This can be done temporarily through "ghost mode," where only Snapchat can see your location rather than your added friends. Users can also restrict what accounts can see their location.

====My AI (''2023'')====
In February 2023, Snapchat released its ChatGPT-powered chatbot called "My Ai". The chatbot faced criticism from Snapchat users for the way it interacted with users, with some calling the feature "Creepy" and "Terrifying", with it sometimes being caught lying about its capabilities to the users.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Kelly |first=Samantha |date=2023-04-27 |title=Snapchat’s new AI chatbot is already raising alarms among teens and parents |url=https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/27/tech/snapchat-my-ai-concerns-wellness|website=CNN.com|access-date=2025-09-06 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250505200710/https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/27/tech/snapchat-my-ai-concerns-wellness |archive-date=5 May 2025}}</ref> Snapchat users also complained about the My AI chatbot being pinned to the top of their chat feed and not being able to remove it unless they subscribed to Snapchat+ for $3.99 per month.<ref name=":0" /> In October 2025, Cybernews reported on methods to bypass the AI's safeguards to get instructions for making a Molotov cocktail, with Snapchat "not [seeing] it as a substantial risk to patch the flaw".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cybernews.com/security/snapchat-chatbot-jailbreak-risk/|title=We tricked Snapchat’s AI, and it told us too much|first=Paulina|last=Okunytė|date=2025-10-16|work=Cybernews|access-date=2025-10-16 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251118143940/https://cybernews.com/security/snapchat-chatbot-jailbreak-risk/ |archive-date=18 Nov 2025}}</ref>

===Paywall existing memories (''2025'')===
On September 26, 2025, Snapchat announced an update to their Memories feature that required users to pay for Snapchat+ (100GB, 250GB) or Snapchat Premium (5TB) if their memories exceed 5GB after 12 months of the announcement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newsroom.snap.com/snap-memory-storage|title=Introducing Memories Storage Plans|date=2025-09-26|work=Snapchat Newsroom|access-date=2025-10-05 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260219012132/https://newsroom.snap.com/snap-memory-storage |archive-date=19 Feb 2026}}</ref> When news broke on X, user @asoiaf_266AC commented, "Nobody is paying rent for their own photos"<ref>{{Cite web |author=@asoiaf_266AC |date=2025-10-02 |title=This is how you turn loyal users into ex-users.

===Delisting of games (2019)===
In 2019, a majority of the Angry Birds games made from 2009-2014 were delisted from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Originally, the delistings were for "testing purposes".<ref>[https://x.com/AngryBirds/status/1156820806460219392 "HI Jordan, we've removed some of our older titles from app stores for testing purposes.

In 2023, the game was delisted from the Google Play store and renamed to "Red's First Flight" on the Apple App Store due to "the game's impact on [its] wider games portfolio."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/rovio-says-classic-angry-birds-was-delisted-due-to-impact-on-search-results|title=Rovio says classic Angry Birds was delisted due to impact on search results|first=Marie|last=Dealessandri|date=2023-03-07|work=Games Industry|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240919174300/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/rovio-says-classic-angry-birds-was-delisted-due-to-impact-on-search-results|archive-date=2024-09-19|url-status=live}}</ref>

These actions and justifications are further put into question as 2-3 years into the sale of ''Angry Birds Trilogy'', the publisher Activision pulled the sale of the game and downloadable content (DLC) from other platforms, specifically Xbox 360/One and the Sony PlayStation 3/4 due to licensing issues with Rovio.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/47156-dlc-delisted/|title=DLC delisted|date=2017-04-06|work=PSNProfiles|author=The Shopkeeper|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125011235/https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/47156-dlc-delisted/|archive-date=2021-01-25|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.trueachievements.com/forum/viewthread.aspx?tid=691318|title=DLC Delisted|date=2015-07-20|author=Cursed|work=TrueAchievements|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210721040323/https://www.trueachievements.com/forum/viewthread.aspx?tid=691318|archive-date=2021-07-21|url-status=live}}</ref> Another instance was with the ''Angry Birds Space'' PC port on the Steam store, as the game has been delisted for many years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/210550/Angry_Birds_Space/|title=Angry Birds Space on Steam|work=Steam|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210425123750/https://store.steampowered.com/app/210550/Angry_Birds_Space/|archive-date=2021-04-25|url-status=live}}</ref>

Depending on the title, these games will either have no capability of receiving new installs, specifically only seen with the mobile releases, or merely being incapable of being newly purchased, such as the console and PC ports. Consumers who have previously bought or installed the games are still able to re-download their games. Consumers who have re-downloaded or installed these games before delisting and never uninstalled them should continue to retain access to their games. However, it is plausible and historically has happened for certain delisted titles to become permanently incapable of being run. Releases such as ''Angry Birds GO!'' depend on access to a server just to run matches and access crucial assets to launch the game<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/angrybirds/comments/nk8u3d/angry_birds_go_version_190_through_1139_doesnt/|title=Angry Birds Go version 1.9.0 through 1.13.9 doesn't work, because it has to download game files, but the servers are probably down.

Rovio keeps Angry Birds Epic's servers alive to this day, even though the game has been delisted for years by now, but in an event of the servers shutting down it would leave Angry Birds Epic in a state incapable of being run ever again.

Additionally, older installs may also just stop functioning, since operating system updates can remove programming libraries that games depend on, so for example, a consumer may not be capable of transferring their install of ''Angry Birds Rio'' from their device running Android 3 to one running Android 10 or later. PC ports are also not immune to this problem either since Windows 11's compatibility features are diminishing,<ref>{{Cite web |author=SplicedOnline Team |date=2024-10-30 |title=Why old PC games not working on Windows 11? |url=https://splicedonline.com/why-old-pc-games-not-working-on-windows-11/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.org/details/why-old-pc-games-not-working-on-windows-11-spliced-online-files |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=2025-04-07 |work=Spliced Online}}</ref> so access may soon only be accessible to tech-savvy consumers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/zneuok/windows_11_update_has_caused_older_games_to_be/|title=Windows 11 update has caused older games to be unplayable.

The Google Pixel 4a is an Android smartphone designed, developed and marketed by [[Google]]. It was released on August 20, 2020, and reached its end of support on August 5, 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pixel 4a end of life date |url=https://endoflife.date/pixel |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=endoflife.date |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260220223603/https://endoflife.date/pixel |archive-date=20 Feb 2026}}</ref> On January 6, 2025, Google announced its Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program to users:<blockquote>"Google has determined that certain Pixel 4a phones require a software update to improve the stability of their battery's performance. An automatic update to Android 13 will roll out to all Pixel 4a devices starting January 8, 2025. For some devices ("Impacted Devices"), '''the software update reduces available battery capacity and impacts charging performance.'''

Google pixel needs certain battery replacements for 2025</blockquote>

==Compensation==

===Request form sent out to users===
Google has asked users to provide the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number of their Pixel 4a to determine whether their device is an "Impacted Device."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Request a repair, payment, or future discount code |url=https://support.google.com/pixelphone/workflow/15642495 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250107002104/https://support.google.com/pixelphone/workflow/15642495 |archive-date=7 Jan 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Google]]}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Wes |date=8 Jan 2025 |title=Google’s new Pixel 4A update is going to lower battery life for some owners |url=https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338566/google-pixel-4a-battery-stability-replacement-reduced-capacity |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=The Verge |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251220031303/https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338566/google-pixel-4a-battery-stability-replacement-reduced-capacity |archive-date=20 Dec 2025}}</ref> If the user's device is an "Impacted Device," they may choose one of the following:

*'''Free battery replacement''' (only available in: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and India)
*'''$100 USD''' (or local equivalent) '''discount code applicable towards the purchase of another Pixel phone''' on the Google Store (unavailable in certain countries)
*'''$50 USD''' (or local equivalent)<ref name=":0" />

Compensation was no longer available after January 6, 2026.<ref name=":0" />

===Payment-processing issues===
The $50 USD compensation option requires users to process payment through [[wikipedia:Payoneer|Payoneer]], which has many issues:
*Users must provide sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers and bank details
*A $3 USD processing fee is deducted from the compensation
*An annual account fee of $29.95 USD is charged if the account balance does not exceed $2,000 USD in transactions within 12 months<ref>{{Cite web |title=Annual account fee |url=https://payoneer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43738/~/annual-account-fee |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251129174745/https://payoneer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43738/~/annual-account-fee |archive-date=29 Nov 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=Payoneer}}</ref>

===Store-credit limitations===
The $100 USD Google Store credit option has restrictions:
*Must be used on full-price devices in most regions
*Available only for Pixel phone purchases<ref name=":0" />
*Cannot be used in conjunction with trade-in offers
*Users cannot change their compensation choice after selecting this option<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=$100 Google Store voucher code cannot be combined with sale price apparently? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i2zz4g/100_google_store_voucher_code_cannot_be_combined/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250214093659/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i2zz4g/100_google_store_voucher_code_cannot_be_combined/ |archive-date=14 Feb 2025}}</ref>

===Editing of initial announcement===
By January 15, 2025 the following edit had been inserted into the original January 6 announcement:<blockquote>"'''Note:''' Carefully select your appeasement option as after you choose, you can't change it. You may have statutory rights available to you under laws of the country where you purchased the device. If available to you, you may alternatively make a claim pursuant to those."<ref>January 7, 2025, via the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20250107002112/https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/15701861

==Aftermath of software update==
Users with "Impacted Devices" who have received the update have reported severely decreased battery capacity & other performance issues.

===Battery-performance issues===
Users have reported several issues following the update:
*Erratic battery percentage readings, including sudden jumps in charge levels
*Battery percentage remaining static despite continuous use
*Reduced charging speeds
*Permanent exclamation mark appearing in battery indicator
*Forced battery percentage display
*Severely reduced battery life, even with recently replaced batteries<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=I change my battery a month BEFORE the upgrade, but after, I got the ! mark ... any tips ? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i2xm7c/i_change_my_battery_a_month_before_the_upgrade/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>

===Battery-replacement complications===
Many users have reported that replacing the battery, either before or after the update, doesn't fix the performance limitations:
*Devices with new batteries still show warning indicators
*Performance remains capped even with official Google batteries
*Users who replaced batteries before the update experienced the same limitations as those with original batteries<ref name=":4" />
*Google support has indicated this may be due to repairs being performed outside of authorized service centers<ref>{{Cite web |title=Replaced the battery, but still the warning. |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i19hxf/replaced_the_battery_but_still_the_warning/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref><ref name=":2" />

In a Reddit poll posted on the [https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a r/Pixel4a subreddit], 170 out 212 respondents stated that their device had been identified as an "Impacted Device" by Google.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pixel 4a battery update: Google says "some" phones will be negatively affected. Let's see for ourselves what percentage is "some" |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1hvmggd/pixel_4a_battery_update_google_says_some_phones/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>

===Technical evidence of battery changes===
Hector Martin has analyzed the software update of the Pixel 4a. He determined that the battery profiles had changed such that "LSN" batteries (e.g. "Lishen"?) have a significantly lower charge limit.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Martin |first=Hector |title=So there's a bunch of noise going around a sneaky forced Google Pixel 4a update that seems to cripple batteries... and this is quite interesting. |url=https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113914172433692339 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204103910/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113914172433692339 |archive-date=4 Feb 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=Mastodon}}</ref> Presumably this means that battery replacements will only restore battery performance if the battery is replaced with an "ATL" battery ("Amperex Technology Limited"). It is possible to differentiate between the manufactures by looking at the serial number on the battery. 8230015901 is ATL and 8230020501 is LSN. Note that these refer to the companies manufacturing the cells, not the batteries, so the brand name is not printed on the battery itself.

==Possible technical rationale==
While Google has not provided detailed technical explanations for the update, there are several known factors about lithium-ion battery aging that could potentially justify such measures:

===Aging lithium-ion batteries===
Lithium-ion batteries face degradation as they age:
*Loss of active lithium ions through repeated charge cycles
*Growth of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer
*Physical expansion & contraction stress during charging cycles
*Potential for dendrite formation in aged cells
*Increased internal resistance over time<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chu |first=Tien-Fu |last2=Rajendran |first2=Raja |last3=Kuznetsova |first3=Iren |last4=Wang |first4=Gou-Jen |date=31 Mar 2020 |title=High-power, non-enzymatic glucose biofuel cell based on a nano/micro hybrid-structured Au anode |url=https://sci-hub.st/storage/2024/8101/ca37e60ae74f869646581511035bd38b/chu2020.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.org/details/chu2020 |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=20 May 2026 |website=Sci-Hub |doi=10.1016/j.jpowsour.2020.227844}}</ref>

===Safety considerations===
Several factors specific to the Pixel 4a situation could indicate that this was a battery safety concern:
*The device was released in August 2020; many units are approaching 4.5 years of use
*The mandatory nature of the update suggests safety implications rather than performance optimization
*The use of specialized shipping containers marked for "Damaged/Defective Lithium Ion Battery(s)" parallels procedures used for known hazardous devices<ref>{{Cite web |title=Certainly Seems Battery Defect-Related (vs Planned Obsolescence) |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1hxyp6z/certainly_seems_battery_defectrelated_vs_planned/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref><ref>[https://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Note-7-return-kit.png Shipping container picture] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250708174250/https://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Note-7-return-kit.png Archived])</ref>

*The update seems to target specific device serial numbers rather than all units; suggesting a manufacturing batch issue<ref name=":1" />

===Precedent in mobile phones===
Similar battery-related interventions have occurred previously; Apple's 2017 iPhone throttling was done to prevent unexpected shutdowns in devices with degraded batteries.

===Potential manufacturing variables===
Several factors could explain why only certain devices are affected:
*Different battery suppliers or manufacturing batches
*Variations in battery cell chemistry or construction
*Manufacturing date ranges coinciding with specific material supplies
*Quality control variations between production runs

These technical considerations suggest the update may be a preventative measure against potential battery safety issues, rather than [[planned obsolescence]]. However, Google's limited transparency about the specific technical justification has left users unable to verify this interpretation.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Purdy |first=Kevin |date=7 Jan 2025 |title=Google Pixel 4a gets an unexpected update: Lower battery life |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/good-news-bad-news-pixel-4a-is-getting-an-update-but-it-reduces-battery-life/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=ArsTechnica |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260223044606/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/good-news-bad-news-pixel-4a-is-getting-an-update-but-it-reduces-battery-life/ |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref>

==Criticism by community==
The following concerns have been raised regarding the Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program:

#This update is an automatic update '''users can not opt''' '''out''' of.
#*While the update can be circumvented, it requires technical knowledge of Android phones, which an average user does not have.
#Google's communication on what the problem with "Impacted Devices" is and how the update seeks to remedy it has been vague.<ref name=":5" />
#*As Google has not publicly commented on the issue, users have been left to speculate on what the intent behind the update could be.
#Google Support has been giving out misleading or incorrect information'''.'''
#*Google Support initially stated that the $100 USD coupon code could not be used in combination with other sales. This has turned out to be false. This information may have affected the compensation option customers chose.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Pixel discount DOES stack with the sale! |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i6ei4x/the_pixel_discount_does_stack_with_the_sale/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>
#At least two users have reported Google Support telling them that their Pixel 4a's trade-in price would be lowered after the update's installation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Does anyone know if they'll give full cashback for Pixel 4a after update |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i43nz3/does_anyone_know_if_theyll_give_full_cashback_for/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250118161515/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i43nz3/does_anyone_know_if_theyll_give_full_cashback_for/ |archive-date=18 Jan 2025}}</ref>
#Google's use of Payoneer makes it impossible for people to receive the $50 that Google offered as an option. The most someone can receive is $47 if they share personal financial information with an unknown-to-them company including their Social Security number, and promptly cancel the Payoneer service to avoid additional fees.

===Replacing the battery===
[[#Technical evidence of battery changes|Initial reverse engineering efforts]] suggest that you can identify if your battery is bad by looking at the serial number. If you're going to replace the battery outside of Google's program with another OEM battery, look for one with the serial number "8230015901". Make sure it does NOT have the bad serial number, "8230020501".

The serial number is printed on the battery, as marked in the following image:

[[File:Pixel 4a battery serial.jpg|500px]]

You may also be able to run the following command over [[wikipedia:Android_Debug_Bridge|ADB]] to retrieve the serial number:<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 Jan 2025 |title=Battery update analysis and way to detect affected battery |url=https://xdaforums.com/t/battery-update-analysis-and-way-to-detect-affected-battery.4716132/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=XDA Forums |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260212185150/https://xdaforums.com/t/battery-update-analysis-and-way-to-detect-affected-battery.4716132/ |archive-date=12 Feb 2026}}</ref>

==Compensation==

===Request form sent out to users===
Google has asked users to provide the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number of their Pixel 4a to determine whether their device is an "Impacted Device."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Request a repair, payment, or future discount code |url=https://support.google.com/pixelphone/workflow/15642495 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250107002104/https://support.google.com/pixelphone/workflow/15642495 |archive-date=7 Jan 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Google]]}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Wes |date=8 Jan 2025 |title=Google’s new Pixel 4A update is going to lower battery life for some owners |url=https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338566/google-pixel-4a-battery-stability-replacement-reduced-capacity |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=The Verge |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251220031303/https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24338566/google-pixel-4a-battery-stability-replacement-reduced-capacity |archive-date=20 Dec 2025}}</ref> If the user's device is an "Impacted Device," they may choose one of the following:

*'''Free battery replacement''' (only available in: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and India)
*'''$100 USD''' (or local equivalent) '''discount code applicable towards the purchase of another Pixel phone''' on the Google Store (unavailable in certain countries)
*'''$50 USD''' (or local equivalent)<ref name=":0" />

Compensation was no longer available after January 6, 2026.<ref name=":0" />

===Payment-processing issues===
The $50 USD compensation option requires users to process payment through [[wikipedia:Payoneer|Payoneer]], which has many issues:
*Users must provide sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers and bank details
*A $3 USD processing fee is deducted from the compensation
*An annual account fee of $29.95 USD is charged if the account balance does not exceed $2,000 USD in transactions within 12 months<ref>{{Cite web |title=Annual account fee |url=https://payoneer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43738/~/annual-account-fee |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251129174745/https://payoneer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/43738/~/annual-account-fee |archive-date=29 Nov 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=Payoneer}}</ref>

==Aftermath of software update==
Users with "Impacted Devices" who have received the update have reported severely decreased battery capacity & other performance issues.

===Battery-performance issues===
Users have reported several issues following the update:
*Erratic battery percentage readings, including sudden jumps in charge levels
*Battery percentage remaining static despite continuous use
*Reduced charging speeds
*Permanent exclamation mark appearing in battery indicator
*Forced battery percentage display
*Severely reduced battery life, even with recently replaced batteries<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=I change my battery a month BEFORE the upgrade, but after, I got the ! mark ... any tips ? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i2xm7c/i_change_my_battery_a_month_before_the_upgrade/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>

===Battery-replacement complications===
Many users have reported that replacing the battery, either before or after the update, doesn't fix the performance limitations:
*Devices with new batteries still show warning indicators
*Performance remains capped even with official Google batteries
*Users who replaced batteries before the update experienced the same limitations as those with original batteries<ref name=":4" />
*Google support has indicated this may be due to repairs being performed outside of authorized service centers<ref>{{Cite web |title=Replaced the battery, but still the warning. |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i19hxf/replaced_the_battery_but_still_the_warning/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref><ref name=":2" />

In a Reddit poll posted on the [https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a r/Pixel4a subreddit], 170 out 212 respondents stated that their device had been identified as an "Impacted Device" by Google.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pixel 4a battery update: Google says "some" phones will be negatively affected. Let's see for ourselves what percentage is "some" |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1hvmggd/pixel_4a_battery_update_google_says_some_phones/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>

===Technical evidence of battery changes===
Hector Martin has analyzed the software update of the Pixel 4a. He determined that the battery profiles had changed such that "LSN" batteries (e.g. "Lishen"?) have a significantly lower charge limit.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Martin |first=Hector |title=So there's a bunch of noise going around a sneaky forced Google Pixel 4a update that seems to cripple batteries... and this is quite interesting. |url=https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113914172433692339 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250204103910/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113914172433692339 |archive-date=4 Feb 2025 |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=Mastodon}}</ref> Presumably this means that battery replacements will only restore battery performance if the battery is replaced with an "ATL" battery ("Amperex Technology Limited"). It is possible to differentiate between the manufactures by looking at the serial number on the battery. 8230015901 is ATL and 8230020501 is LSN. Note that these refer to the companies manufacturing the cells, not the batteries, so the brand name is not printed on the battery itself.

==Possible technical rationale==
While Google has not provided detailed technical explanations for the update, there are several known factors about lithium-ion battery aging that could potentially justify such measures:

===Aging lithium-ion batteries===
Lithium-ion batteries face degradation as they age:
*Loss of active lithium ions through repeated charge cycles
*Growth of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer
*Physical expansion & contraction stress during charging cycles
*Potential for dendrite formation in aged cells
*Increased internal resistance over time<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chu |first=Tien-Fu |last2=Rajendran |first2=Raja |last3=Kuznetsova |first3=Iren |last4=Wang |first4=Gou-Jen |date=31 Mar 2020 |title=High-power, non-enzymatic glucose biofuel cell based on a nano/micro hybrid-structured Au anode |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378775320301476 |url-status=live |access-date=22 Mar 2025 |website=ScienceDirect}}</ref>

===Safety considerations===
Several factors specific to the Pixel 4a situation could indicate that this was a battery safety concern:
*The device was released in August 2020; many units are approaching 4.5 years of use
*The mandatory nature of the update suggests safety implications rather than performance optimization
*The use of specialized shipping containers marked for "Damaged/Defective Lithium Ion Battery(s)" parallels procedures used for known hazardous devices<ref>{{Cite web |title=Certainly Seems Battery Defect-Related (vs Planned Obsolescence) |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1hxyp6z/certainly_seems_battery_defectrelated_vs_planned/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref><ref>[https://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Note-7-return-kit.png Shipping container picture] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250708174250/https://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Note-7-return-kit.png Archived])</ref>

*The update seems to target specific device serial numbers rather than all units; suggesting a manufacturing batch issue<ref name=":1" />

===Precedent in mobile phones===
Similar battery-related interventions have occurred previously; Apple's 2017 iPhone throttling was done to prevent unexpected shutdowns in devices with degraded batteries.

===Potential manufacturing variables===
Several factors could explain why only certain devices are affected:
*Different battery suppliers or manufacturing batches
*Variations in battery cell chemistry or construction
*Manufacturing date ranges coinciding with specific material supplies
*Quality control variations between production runs

These technical considerations suggest the update may be a preventative measure against potential battery safety issues, rather than [[planned obsolescence]]. However, Google's limited transparency about the specific technical justification has left users unable to verify this interpretation.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Purdy |first=Kevin |date=7 Jan 2025 |title=Google Pixel 4a gets an unexpected update: Lower battery life |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/good-news-bad-news-pixel-4a-is-getting-an-update-but-it-reduces-battery-life/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=ArsTechnica |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260223044606/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/good-news-bad-news-pixel-4a-is-getting-an-update-but-it-reduces-battery-life/ |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref>

==Criticism by community==
The following concerns have been raised regarding the Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program:

#This update is an automatic update '''users can not opt''' '''out''' of.
#*While the update can be circumvented, it requires technical knowledge of Android phones, which an average user does not have.
#Google's communication on what the problem with "Impacted Devices" is and how the update seeks to remedy it has been vague.<ref name=":5" />
#*As Google has not publicly commented on the issue, users have been left to speculate on what the intent behind the update could be.
#Google Support has been giving out misleading or incorrect information'''.'''
#*Google Support initially stated that the $100 USD coupon code could not be used in combination with other sales. This has turned out to be false. This information may have affected the compensation option customers chose.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Pixel discount DOES stack with the sale! |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i6ei4x/the_pixel_discount_does_stack_with_the_sale/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250802034226/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/ |archive-date=2 Aug 2025}}</ref>
#At least two users have reported Google Support telling them that their Pixel 4a's trade-in price would be lowered after the update's installation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Does anyone know if they'll give full cashback for Pixel 4a after update |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i43nz3/does_anyone_know_if_theyll_give_full_cashback_for/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]] |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250118161515/https://old.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a/comments/1i43nz3/does_anyone_know_if_theyll_give_full_cashback_for/ |archive-date=18 Jan 2025}}</ref>
#Google's use of Payoneer makes it impossible for people to receive the $50 that Google offered as an option. The most someone can receive is $47 if they share personal financial information with an unknown-to-them company including their Social Security number, and promptly cancel the Payoneer service to avoid additional fees.

==Restoring battery functionality==
===This is a user-submitted guide. Follow at your own risk.===
===Replacing the battery===
[[#Technical evidence of battery changes|Initial reverse engineering efforts]] suggest that you can identify if your battery is bad by looking at the serial number. If you're going to replace the battery outside of Google's program with another OEM battery, look for one with the serial number "8230015901". Make sure it does NOT have the bad serial number, "8230020501".

The serial number is printed on the battery, as marked in the following image:

===AI-Powered Ages Verification leads to inaccurate age verification on Roblox ''(Jan 2026)''===
Children were being identified as adults and vice versa on [[Roblox]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gilbert |first=David |date=2026-01-13 |title=Roblox’s AI-Powered Age Verification Is a Complete Mess |url=https://www.wired.com/story/robloxs-ai-powered-age-verification-is-a-complete-mess/ |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260226005411/https://www.wired.com/story/robloxs-ai-powered-age-verification-is-a-complete-mess/ |archive-date=2026-02-26 |access-date=2026-02-20 |website=Wired}}</ref> The age verification restricted who the users could talk to.

===User tracking and ties with the US government===
On the 16th of February, 2026, a security researcher known as Celeste published an article showing that Persona was building profiles on users and sharing said profiles with the US government, even having a flagging system to flag users that seem suspicious. A code to track crypto-addresses has also been found.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Celeste |date=2026-02-16 |title=the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds |url=https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260221231714/https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona |archive-date=2026-02-21 |website=vmfunc.re}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Celeste |date=2026-02-24 |title=the watchers, pt. 2: the correspondence |url=https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona-2 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260225233304/https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona-2 |archive-date=2026-02-25 |access-date=2026-02-26 |website=vmfunc.re}}</ref> Alongside that, it was also discovered that 269 different checks were used for verification, which included things like phone carrier queries and death record matching. With their privacy policy hiding these checks under vague terms like "public government documents".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-12-04 |title=Privacy Policy |url=https://withpersona.com/legal/privacy-policy-roblox |url-status=live |archive-url= |website=Persona}}</ref>

==Incidents==
===Affiliate-tampering controversy (''December 2024'')===
====Investigation by YouTuber MegaLag (''December 2024)''====
On 21 December 2024, the tech-related YouTube channel MegaLag posted a video titled "Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam," in which was alleged that Honey was engaging in systematic manipulation of affiliate marketing links through a process known as "{{Wplink|cookie stuffing}}." Through this type of affiliate poaching, Honey was alleged to have removed the original content creator's affiliate cookie, which tracked that the content creator was responsible for the sale so they could receive a later commission, and instead injected Honey's own affiliate cookie without the user's knowledge. Through this process, Honey effectively claimed the commission for the sale that would have gone to the content creator who originally guided the user to the product. Honey did this even when it explicitly offered no discount or coupon codes to the purchaser.

In short, the investigation found that when users clicked on a content creator's affiliate link and subsequently activated Honey during checkout, Honey would:

*Delete the original affiliate's tracking cookie
*Replace it with Honey's own affiliate cookie via a hidden redirect tab that closed within a few seconds
*Claim the commission that was intended for the original content creator

The video presented several scenarios in which this affiliate poaching would occur, even when Honey offered no discounts or coupons to the user, namely:

*Upon the user clicking "Activate Rewards" when presented with a Honey pop-up indicating to do so.
*Upon the user clicking "Got It" to acknowledge and discard a Honey pop-up stating, "We searched for you but didn't find any deals."
*Upon clicking "PayPal" when presented with a Honey pop-up recommending the user check out via PayPal, which owns Honey, even when the option was already present on the native website and would have preserved the original content creator's affiliate cookie and commission if the user had done so through that website and not Honey's pop-up.

=====Affiliate test=====
Part of the investigative piece included a section in which MegaLag tested what would happen to his own commission when purchasing a product with Honey and without Honey. He signed up for an affiliate program through a popular VPN provider and then made two distinct purchases. One purchase was made using the Honey browser extension, and the other without using the extension. He made each purchase using a VPN server in different countries (one in the U.S.A. and one in the Netherlands), and used "separate, new browser sessions with cookies cleared."<ref name="megalag-video" /> He also signed up for Honey's rewards program to test how much of the commission would be shared with a consumer.

MegaLag found that when purchased without the use of Honey, he received a $36.50 commission for the sale as expected. However, when purchasing the product with the use of Honey, he received no commission and the commission was instead redirected to Honey. MegaLag also demonstrated that of the $35.60 commission poached by Honey, only $0.89 was shared with the purchaser via the rewards program.

====Misleading consumers====
Additionally, contrary to marketing claims about finding "the best deals," Honey was found to have agreements with partner stores allowing them to control which coupon codes appeared through the extension. This meant stores could hide better discounts while only showing Honey users lower-value coupons. The practice directly contradicted years of marketing claims that promised users they would "always get the best deal possible."<ref name="megalag-video" />

Simon Wijckmans, CEO of c/side, noted that "When users purchased via an affiliate link with Honey installed, commissions intended for creators were redirected to Honey. Additionally, Honey misrepresented deals as the best discounts while partnering with companies to hide better offers."<ref name="techopedia-article" />

===Content-creator lawsuits (''December 2024'')===
In December 2024, a {{Wplink|class action}} lawsuit was filed against PayPal by Wendover Productions, LLC alleging that Honey manipulated affiliate marketing links without proper disclosure or compensation. The suits claim Honey replaced legitimate affiliate links with their own, even when no coupons were found for users. This practice allegedly impacted both content creators and consumers who intended to support specific affiliates.<ref name="wendover-v-paypal" />

Gamers Nexus, LLC later filed a class action lawsuit against PayPal in January 2025 citing the same grievances.<ref name="gamersnexus-v-paypal-holdings" /> They later announced in a video upload on 15 June 2025 that they were withdrawing, with prejudice, as a plaintiff.<ref>{{Cite web |author=GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy |title=$120 Billion Bank Subpoenas GamersNexus | PayPal Honey Lawsuit Update, ft. Capital One |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idIWS-mHKQk |website=[[YouTube]] |date=15 Jun 2025 |access-date=13 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=idIWS-mHKQk |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref>

===Significant changes to the Terms of Service (''October 2024—December 2024'')===
Several parts of the Terms of service were updated and added, such as

*Change of the Governing Law from England and Wales to California in the United States
*Addition of an Arbitration.
*A number of small changes between the lines

Also noteworthy is that on 8 January 2025, older versions of the TOS were available on archive.org. However, as of 28 January 2025, the archive shows a "Failed to Fetch" error.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archived versions of joinhoney.com on archive.org |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/https://www.joinhoney.com/terms |website=Internet Archive |date= |access-date=13 Jan 2026 |url-status=live}}</ref>


To prevent loss of those details:
*copy of Paypal Honey Terms of Services from December 2024
*copy of Paypal Honey Terms of Services from January 2025

''on a more funny note, the current live version of the TOS<ref name="terms-of-use" /> (checked on 5 February 2025) shows "Last updated January 16, 2024"''

===Alleged partnership coercion to protect private discount codes (''December 2025'')===
Further investigations released by Megalag in December 2025 allege that Honey promotes discount codes for businesses that have not consented to partner with them, including scraping and publicizing discount codes meant for private employee use and not intended for public use. The promotion of these codes has been reported to have negatively affected the financial standing several smaller businesses.

When asked by such businesses to remove these private discount codes, Honey is alleged to have told those businesses that they are unable to remove the codes unless the business agrees to partner with them, essentially paying a fee to be protected from a service they do not want to partner with. Honey is also reported to have attempted to deceive such businesses about the company's capacity to remove such discount codes, with one agent claiming to one business that Honey was unable to remove a private employee coupon code from public distribution unless the business partnered with Honey, just one month after the same agent agreed to remove the private code of another business upon request. Honey eventually agreed to remove the code, however the business claims that the problem has occurred repeatedly.<ref>{{Cite web |author=MegaLag |title=Exposing Honey's Evil Business Model (PART 2) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwB3FmbcC88

===Alleged violations of affiliate network policies (''December 2025'')===
In a separate video uploaded on 30 December 2025, MegaLag further alleged that Honey was violating affiliate network policies. An example he cited is where a typical contract clause may state "you are only allowed to use coupons or promotional codes that are provided exclusively through the affiliate program," but Honey would ignore the clause unless and until it was enforced. For instance, in the "Note Monetization" column for the application's data spreadsheet, an employee left a note stating that the {{Wplink|Lindt}} chocolatier company had "non-affiliate clause, but don't have any codes from network so can't remove other coupon sources".<ref>{{Cite web |author=MegaLag |title=The Honey Scam is Worse Than I Thought |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCGT_CKGgFE |website=[[YouTube]] |date=30 Dec 2025 |access-date=13 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=qCGT_CKGgFE |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref>

===Removal from Rakuten Advertising (''January 2026'')===
On 12 January 2026, MegaLag shared in a community post that an e-mail had been sent out to clients of {{Wplink|Rakuten Advertising}}, a major affiliate marketing service provider. In the screenshot purportedly provided by a [[LinkedIn]] user, the company stated that "Honey has been terminated from the Rakuten Advertising network, therefore this publisher has been removed from your affiliate program, effective immediately" and that the removal "was not taken lightly." MegaLag also noted that Honey's Rakuten links were no longer active. No specific reason was given by Rakuten, however the timing of it came just barely two weeks after MegaLag brought to light allegations of Honey's willful policy violations.<ref>{{Cite web |author=MegaLag |title=Post from MegaLag |url=https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx0hki-DoskqGU3_MzN3sS2eF4ObXWdX-d |website=[[YouTube]] |date=12 Jan 2026 |access-date=13 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url= |archive-date=}}</ref>

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T17:08:55Z

Tempo123: /* The list */

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving with IA and Megalodon.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a manually updated table of (hopefully) all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

Melee) is legal if copying it is necessary in order to use the program with a machine (e.g., the Dolphin emulator) and that it isn't used in any other way, or to archive the program<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010 |title=Chapter 1: Subject Matter and Scope of Copyright, Section 117 |url=https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html |url-status=live |access-date=31 May 2025 |website=U.S. Copyright Office |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260128125654/https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html |archive-date=28 Jan 2026}}</ref>.

In this case, customer's device stopped turning on about a week after a purchase, but it still kept drawing some power. Customer sent the device to Nintendo for repairs.

===Joy-Con and joystick-related hardware failures===
[[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]] are the included controllers (retailing for $80) for the Nintendo Switch, and they are prone to failure via "stick drift" within a few months of purchase. According to the 2022 study by the British consumer protection group '''Which?''<nowiki/>', 40% of [[Nintendo Switch]] owners experienced [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Con]] drift.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Laughlin |first=Andrew |date=14 Jun 2022 |title=Two in five UK Nintendo Switch Classic consoles blighted by Joy-Con drift |url=https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/two-in-five-uk-nintendo-switch-classic-consoles-blighted-by-joy-con-drift-aVaRY2j5RoO8 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626212228/https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/two-in-five-uk-nintendo-switch-classic-consoles-blighted-by-joy-con-drift-aVaRY2j5RoO8 |archive-date=26 Jun 2022 |access-date=1 Jun 2025 |website=Which?}}</ref> This defect is also found in other official Nintendo controllers, like the Pro Controller (Pro-Cons), and the Switch Lite, a version of the Nintendo Switch that has its Joy-Cons built into the handheld system. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa apologized for the "inconvenience" and subsequently launched Nintendo's "free repair program."

The way the "free repair program" works is that the user will send the defective [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]] to Nintendo for "repair," which, in most cases, involves replacing the defective [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]] with new ones. The problem arises in cases involving limited edition [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]], where you have to sign off on consenting to the possibility of your limited edition or "non-standard colored" [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]] being replaced with a standard color [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Con]] if they are sent to Nintendo for "repair." This leaves consumers with these limited edition [[Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons|Joy-Cons]] without a guaranteed way to get their products repaired if they use Nintendo's official repair service.

The "free repair program" is not available in the [[wikipedia:Nordic_countries|Nordic countries]] as Nintendo does not directly distribute their product there. Instead, Nintendo products are distributed by [[wikipedia:Bergsala|Bersala AB]] whom does not recognise the existence of a widespread issue and will charge around $40 for the repair unless the console is still under the 2 years warranty. To qualify for the warranty, the console must have been purchased from an approved local retailer. Hardware purchased on online retailers like Amazon do not qualify and customers are forced to pay full price for repairs.

Historically, Nintendo's faulty joysticks date back to the Nintendo 64. The N64 gamepad's design, which used gears and optical encoder wheels,<ref>{{Cite web |last=u/PliskinBOI |date=Apr 20, 2024 |title=How is the 64 for longevity? |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/n64/comments/1c8wneq/comment/l0hvu2i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button |access-date=Feb 17, 2026 |website=[[Reddit]]}}</ref> led to easy part degradation ever since launch,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Slindee |first=Brittany |date=Sep 6, 2024 |title=Nintendo 64 Controller Joystick Repair |url=https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+64+Controller+Joystick+Repair/51581 |access-date=Feb 17, 2026 |website=ifixit |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250804145139/https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+64+Controller+Joystick+Repair/51581 |archive-date=4 Aug 2025}}</ref><ref name=":6">{{Cite web |last=Rerez |date=Mar 1, 2025 |title=Amazing Hall Effect Controllers! - Rerez |url=https://youtu.be/Fxfb7pAyW18 |access-date=Feb 17, 2025 |website=[[YouTube]] |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=Fxfb7pAyW18 |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref> leading to games that heavily relied upon the joystick input, such as Super Mario 64, to become virtually unplayable.<ref name=":6" />

Melee is a video game from 2001 that does not have built-in online functionality, so it would have been impossible to run an online tournament for it without the use of modifications. A Nintendo of America spokesperson claimed that the cease and desist was issued to "protect [Nintendo's] intellectual property and brands". The spokesperson also stated that allowing the tournament to run would "condone or allow piracy of [Nintendo's] intellectual property". In other words, the spokesperson claimed that using Slippi would have required the use of pirated copies of Melee<ref name=":4" />, despite the fact that professional Melee players typically play legitimate copies of the game on official hardware to practice and compete.

===Etika JOYCONBOYZ Charity Shutdown (''2020'')===
On or around June 19, 2019, popular YouTuber Desmond Daniel Amofah known by his YouTube username Etika was found deceased after having committed suicide following a series of mental health issues. He was known for his livestream reactions to Nintendo's online events such as Nintendo Direct presentations. Known for his over-the-top reaction style, his fanbase became unofficially known as the "JOYCONBOYZ". Among tributes following his passing, fellow YouTuber JoyConJames created custom shells for the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers known as Etikons which contained the official fan phrase "JOYCONBOYZ" printed on them with a proceed of sales for each shell going to mental health awareness and mental health research facilities. On December 6, 2020, JoyConJames uploaded a YouTube video announcing that he had received a cease and desist (C&D) notice from Nintendo prohibiting him from selling the Joy-Con skins. The notion that the skins were being sold for charity and in honor of a fan of Nintendo and their work drew anger and criticism from the company's fan base.<ref>{{cite web |title=Custom Joy-Cons That Honor Deceased YouTuber Shut Down By Nintendo |url=https://screenrant.com/nintendo-switch-joycon-etika-joyconboyz-shut-down-charity/ |url-status=live |access-date=13 Aug 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230524211510/https://screenrant.com/nintendo-switch-joycon-etika-joyconboyz-shut-down-charity/ |archive-date=24 May 2023}}</ref>

===Patented gameplay mechanics (''2025'')===
In September 2025, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company were granted U.S. patent [https://archive.org/details/12403397/page/n1/mode/2up US 12,403,397 B2], which covered a method of summoning a secondary character and instantly initiating a "fast mode" battle when an enemy occupies the location. While seemingly narrow, critics warn the wording is broad enough to overlap with common mechanics in MMORPGs, action RPGs, and other real-time combat games. Observers argue that enforcing such a patent could stifle creativity, complicate development of similar features in future titles, and even create legal uncertainty for existing games that already use comparable encounter or companion-summoning systems.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-09-10 |title=Patent No.: US 12,403,397 B2 |url=https://archive.org/details/12403397/page/n1/mode/2up}}</ref>

The Virtual Boy collection was similarly offered for free, but Nintendo also revealed that a required accessory would need to be purchased to make use of the Virtual Boy collection. They offered an option of a $99 replica of the original Virtual Boy device or a $20 cardboard headset. Use of either of these accessories is required to properly play the Virtual Boy Collection as the companion app was not designed with an option to disable the 3D graphics and is also not compatible with a TV by docking the Switch console.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-09-12 |title=Nintendo Switch is getting a Virtual Boy accessory and Switch Online games |url=https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-switch-is-getting-a-virtual-boy-accessory-and-switch-online-games/ |access-date=2026-02-17}} ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260120001906/https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-switch-is-getting-a-virtual-boy-accessory-and-switch-online-games/ Archived])</ref> Software emulators fans created for Nintendo's prior Nintendo 3DS console can render the Virtual Boy graphics with the use of the system's auto-stereoscopic 3D display along with allowing the 3D graphics to be disabled by using the system's existing 3D slider. Nintendo also posted an incorrect statement to social media that their existing product, the Nintendo Labo VR Headset, would be compatible with the Virtual Boy collection.

==Incidents==
===Oxenfree video game removed from platform (''2024'')===
On 9 September 2024, itch.io de-listed ''{{Wplink|Oxenfree}}'' and warned users who had purchased it on itch.io that the game was going to be pulled from the platform entirely on 1 October 2024. Customers would not be able to download the installer files after that date — meaning they would lose access unless they had a backup of the game. Users speculated that [[Netflix]] (the parent company of the development studio) had ordered the move. However, no response from Netflix or the developers of the game was ever published. This is particularly notable because it violates itch.io's terms of service: "Users shall retain a license to this content even after the content is removed from the Service."<ref>{{Cite web |author=ShawnS |title=OXENFREE |url=https://delistedgames.com/oxenfree/ |website=Delisted Games |date=31 Jan 2025 |access-date=27 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250321070400/https://delistedgames.com/oxenfree/ |archive-date=21 Mar 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Colp |first=Tyler |title=Another reminder that your digital library isn't forever: Oxenfree will be completely removed from Itch.io next month |url=https://www.pcgamer.com/games/adventure/another-reminder-that-your-digital-library-isn-t-forever-oxenfree-will-be-completely-removed-from-itch-io-next-month/ |website=PC Gamer |date=9 Sep 2024 |access-date=27 Feb 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250523111125/https://www.pcgamer.com/games/adventure/another-reminder-that-your-digital-library-isn-t-forever-oxenfree-will-be-completely-removed-from-itch-io-next-month/ |archive-date=23 May 2025}}</ref>

On 11 July 2025, [[Collective Shout]] issued an open statement demanding credit card payments to immediately cease processing "payments on [[Steam]] and itch.io".

A battery-limiting update was pushed automatically without user consent, and users cannot opt-out through normal means. Google removed access to previous firmware versions, effectively limiting users' ability to restore their devices to full functionality.

To receive compensation for the issue, users have to share sensitive personal information, including social security numbers and bank details, with Payoneer, a third-party payment processor. This forces users to choose between their privacy and receiving compensation for their degraded device.

The compensation options favor users choosing to remain within the Google ecosystem ($100 store credit for new Pixel phones, or $50 through Payoneer with fees and privacy concerns).<ref name=":0">https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/15701861 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250107002112/https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/15701861 Archived])

{{CompanyCargo
|Founded=2019
|Industry=Artificial Intelligence
|ParentCompany=InMobi
|Type=Private
|Website=https://glance.com/
|Description=Glance (AI) is an artifical intelligence-based software company. The company was founded in Bangalore in 2019. Glance is owned by InMobi.
|Logo=Glance logo.png}}'''Glance''' is an Indian '''artificial intelligence-based''' software company. The company was co-founded in 2019 by Naveen Tewari (CEO), Abhay Singhal, Mohit Saxena, and Piyush Shah with their headquarters being in Bangalore. Glance is '''owned by InMobi''', a multinational technology company.

'''Glance's Core Product''': the '''Glance Smart Lock Screen''' (Also called '''Glance''') which '''comes pre-installed''' on many Andriod smartphones (ex.[[Samsung]], [[Xiaomi]], Oppo, Vivo) uses '''AI''' to deliver ''personalized'' news, sports scores, videos, and games directly to your lock screen so you can consume content '''without unlocking your phone''' or using any apps.

==Consumer-impact summary==

*'''User Freedom''':
**Opt-Out Rootkit: Glance is pre-installed at the system level. Consumers lose their freedom to choose to use the app because the software is enabled by default. While you technically can disable it, it often requires digging through multiple layers of settings which is very time consuming.
**The Portable Billboard: Glance effectively turns any phone into a portable billboard they cannot easily uninstall. Every time you use a phone, the first thing you see is your lock screen. Now imagine Ads playing instead.
*'''User Privacy''':
**Micro-Interaction Tracking: Glance doesn't just see what you click; it tracks "micro-interactions": For example, how long you look at an image or news story. This data is used to build a behavioral profile of your interests.
**Biometric Data (Glance AI): With the 2025 rollout of Glance AI, users are encouraged to upload selfies for virtual "try-ons." This introduces a new layer of sensitive data collection.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |first= |date=2025-07-16 |title=Your Digital Pro: 2026’s Top Virtual Stylist Tools |url=https://glance.com/us/blogs/glanceai/fashion/virtual-stylist-tools-ai |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260301181610/https://glance.com/us/blogs/glanceai/fashion/virtual-stylist-tools-ai |archive-date=2026-03-01 |access-date=2026-03-01 |website=Glance}}</ref>
**Hashed Identifiers''':''' Glance uses hashed device IDs and advertising tokens to track you across different services.
*'''Business Model:'''
**One-Click Installs (OCI): A major revenue driver is their "app-less" experience. If you see an ad for a game on your lock screen, you can "one-click" install it in the background without even unlocking your phone or visiting the Play Store.
**Attention-as-a-Product: Their goal is to monetize "idle moments": the few seconds you look at your phone while waiting for coffee. By capturing those 5-second windows thousands of times a day, they generate billions in value from "spare" attention.
*'''Market Control:'''
**Manufacturing Partners: Glance exerts market control by partnering directly with manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo). In exchange for a share of the ad revenue, these manufacturers pre-install Glance, giving the company a "gatekeeper" position that third-party apps (like Instagram or TikTok) can't reach without the user manually opening them.
**Bypassing the App Store: By operating on the lock screen, Glance creates a "parallel internet." They can promote apps and products directly to you, bypassing the traditional curation (and rules) of the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
**Ecosystem Lock-in: Through sub-brands like Nostra and Roposo , they create a closed-loop ecosystem. Once you are in the "Glance-verse," you might never feel the need to unlock your phone to find entertainment, further consolidating their control over your digital habits.

Once a user disables it from having access to all the lock screen settings (because Glance cannot be uninstalled if it came loaded onto a device) it will use the user’s data to download the latest updates, undo all of the settings that have been changed by the user, and then on wake, send notifications and alerts to activate Glance.

{{CompanyCargo

|ParentCompany=InMobi
|Type=Private
|Website=https://glance.com/
|Description=Glance (AI) is an artifical intelligence-based software company. The company was founded in Bangalore in 2019. Glance is owned by InMobi.
|Logo=Glance logo.png}}'''Glance''' is an Indian '''artificial intelligence-based''' software company. The company was co-founded in 2019 by Naveen Tewari (CEO), Abhay Singhal, Mohit Saxena, and Piyush Shah with their headquarters being in Bangalore. Glance is '''owned by InMobi''', a multinational technology company.

'''Glance's Core Product''': the '''Glance Smart Lock Screen''' (Also called '''Glance''') which '''comes pre-installed''' on many Andriod smartphones (ex.[[Samsung]], [[Xiaomi]], Oppo, Vivo) uses '''AI''' to deliver ''personalized'' news, sports scores, videos, and games directly to your lock screen so you can consume content '''without unlocking your phone''' or using any apps.

==Consumer-impact summary==

*'''User Freedom''':
**Opt-Out Rootkit: Glance is pre-installed at the system level. Consumers lose their freedom to choose to use the app because the software is enabled by default. While you technically can disable it, it often requires digging through multiple layers of settings which is very time consuming.
**The Portable Billboard: Glance effectively turns any phone into a portable billboard they cannot easily uninstall. Every time you use a phone, the first thing you see is your lock screen. Now imagine Ads playing instead.
*'''User Privacy''':
**Micro-Interaction Tracking: Glance doesn't just see what you click; it tracks "micro-interactions": For example, how long you look at an image or news story. This data is used to build a behavioral profile of your interests.
**Biometric Data (Glance AI): With the 2025 rollout of Glance AI, users are encouraged to upload selfies for virtual "try-ons." This introduces a new layer of sensitive data collection.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |first= |date=2025-07-16 |title=Your Digital Pro: 2026’s Top Virtual Stylist Tools |url=https://glance.com/us/blogs/glanceai/fashion/virtual-stylist-tools-ai |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260301181610/https://glance.com/us/blogs/glanceai/fashion/virtual-stylist-tools-ai |archive-date=2026-03-01 |access-date=2026-03-01 |website=Glance}}</ref>
**Hashed Identifiers''':''' Glance uses hashed device IDs and advertising tokens to track you across different services.
*'''Business Model:'''
**One-Click Installs (OCI): A major revenue driver is their "app-less" experience. If you see an ad for a game on your lock screen, you can "one-click" install it in the background without even unlocking your phone or visiting the Play Store.
**Attention-as-a-Product: Their goal is to monetize "idle moments": the few seconds you look at your phone while waiting for coffee. By capturing those 5-second windows thousands of times a day, they generate billions in value from "spare" attention.
*'''Market Control:'''
**Manufacturing Partners: Glance exerts market control by partnering directly with manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo). In exchange for a share of the ad revenue, these manufacturers pre-install Glance, giving the company a "gatekeeper" position that third-party apps (like Instagram or TikTok) can't reach without the user manually opening them.
**Bypassing the App Store: By operating on the lock screen, Glance creates a "parallel internet." They can promote apps and products directly to you, bypassing the traditional curation (and rules) of the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
**Ecosystem Lock-in: Through sub-brands like Nostra and Roposo , they create a closed-loop ecosystem. Once you are in the "Glance-verse," you might never feel the need to unlock your phone to find entertainment, further consolidating their control over your digital habits.

'''Futurehome''' was accused of ransoming customer devices by forcing them to pay a subscription fee, or face disabled core functionality.

In 2025, after the company went bankrupt, Futurehome's new owners announced that '''existing customers would now have to pay an annual subscription to continue using their previously purchased smart-home hubs'''. After a bankruptcy and relaunch, Futurehome imposed an annual fee of 1,188 NOK (around $117 USD) for access to its app and cloud services, locking users out unless they subscribed.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last= |date=18 Jun 2025 |title=FAQ Subscription - Futurehome |url=https://support.futurehome.no/hc/en-no/articles/28158944965277-FAQ-Subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251126163221/https://support.futurehome.no/hc/en-no/articles/28158944965277-FAQ-Subscription |archive-date=26 Nov 2025 |access-date=14 Jul 2025}}</ref><ref name=":13">{{Cite web |title=Krever abonnement av kundene - Elektro24-7 |trans-title=Requires Subscription from Customers |url=https://www.elektro247.no/krever-abonnement-av-kundene.6722352-567787.html |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |language=no |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251218235910/https://www.elektro247.no/krever-abonnement-av-kundene.6722352-567787.html |archive-date=18 Dec 2025}}</ref>

'''Customers who declined to pay lost access to the mobile app (even for local use)''', along with all automations and the hub's local API integrations, leaving only basic on-device (physical) control.

==Company info and background==
'''Futurehome''' AS is a Norwegian smart-home technology company founded in 2013, known for the ''Futurehome Smarthub'', a central gateway device that connects and controls Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. The Smarthub and Futurehome's own product line ''(thermostats, smart plugs, relays, sensors, etc<ref>{{Cite web |title=Products - Futurehome |url=https://www.futurehome.io/en_no/products |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251212152946/https://www.futurehome.io/en_no/products |archive-date=12 Dec 2025}}</ref>)'' allow users to automate lighting, heating, EV charging, and other home functions via a mobile app and cloud platform.

The hub lets users pair Zigbee-, Z-Wave-, and Futurehome-branded devices and control them locally or remotely through a free mobile app and cloud service; it also exposes local APIs for third-party integrations such as Home Assistant.

The '''Futurehome Smarthub'''<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Futurehome |url=https://www.futurehome.io/en_no/ |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251124155037/https://www.futurehome.io/en_no/ |archive-date=24 Nov 2025}}</ref> was '''originally sold as a one-time purchase.''' '''Prior to 2025, Futurehome operated on a one-time hardware purchase model''', with app and cloud services included at no extra cost.

Futurehome AS was declared bankrupt on 20 May 2025. The platform and its services were acquired in a 50-50 split by Sikom Connect AS and the former Futurehome owners. The business was relaunched under a new entity: '''FHSD Connect AS.'''<ref name=":0" /> A press release by Sikom Connect AS on the same day clearly depicted their expectation of making every Futurehome user into a paying customer for FHSD Connect AS by counting the entire user base of Futurehome into their customer base: "''With the purchase of Futurehome, Sikom expands their services to private housing with a combined customer base of more than 70 000 customers''"<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schieflow |first=Torfinn |date=20 May 2025 |title=Strategisk viktig samarbeid |url=https://www.sikom.no/2025/05/20/strategisk-viktig-samarbeid/ |url-status=live |access-date=25 Jul 2025 |website=www.sikom.no |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251126092218/https://sikom.no/2025/05/20/strategisk-viktig-samarbeid/ |archive-date=26 Nov 2025}}</ref>(Translated from Norwegian)

==June 2025 subscription rollout==
After the bankruptcy and relaunch, ''any'' continued use now requires an annual subscription of 1,188 NOK (≈ $117). Households that decline are locked out of the application, automations, and the local API interface, leaving only manual, on-device control.<ref name=":0" />

Following the relaunch, FHSD Connect announced that a mandatory subscription would be required to continue using the Smarthub platform. The subscription requirement was activated on 26 June 2025, and both existing and new households were given a four-week trial period before charges apply.<ref name=":0" />

Customers who do not activate the subscription within that trial window face the following restrictions:<ref name=":0" />

*'''App access disabled:''' Users can't use the app remotely via cloud or on the local network.
*'''Automations and modes frozen:''' All user-defined automations, preset modes ''(Home/Away/Night, etc.)'', shortcuts, and energy management features stop working.
*'''Local API and MQTT disabled:''' The hub's developer interfaces remain active only for a short grace period after the trial, then are gradually shut off without an active subscription.
*'''Physical control only:''' Basic manual control of devices continues to work: the smart devices revert to ''"dumb"'' mode with no central coordination.
*'''Support limited:''' Access to customer support channels (chat and phone support) is reserved for paying subscribers.

These limitations were delivered via a firmware update to the hub's software, locking previously available features behind the paywall. One Futurehome software engineer, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the firmware was designed to enforce this lockout mechanism and compel users to subscribe. As of the changeover, the Futurehome system was reportedly installed in over '''38,000 Norwegian households''',<ref>{{Cite web |title=Futurehome Norge |trans-title=The updated figure of 38,000 is listed only on the Norwegian version of the site |url=https://www.futurehome.io/no/ |access-date=13 Jul 2025 |language=no |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260115081530/https://www.futurehome.io/no/ |archive-date=15 Jan 2026}}</ref> all of which had to choose between paying the new fees or losing most "smart" functionality.

[[File:Futurehome indexed search results.png|thumb|Indexed search results from the forum about disabling automatic hub and app updates]]
As part of the ownership transition, FHSD Connect also shut down the official Futurehome user forum, stating they were ''"consolidating support channels"'', further limiting access to help resources for users who don't subscribe.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Futurehome Forum |url=https://forum.futurehome.io |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250715103026/https://forum.futurehome.io/ |archive-date=15 Jul 2025 |access-date=15 Jul 2025}}</ref> The forum contained, among other things, discussions from previous years about how to disable automatic updates for the hub and app ([https://forum-old.futurehome.io/t/smarthub-and-app-update/6400 link to delisted forum thread])

==Futurehome's reply==
FHSD CEO Øyvind Fries justified the subscription model as necessary to ''"secure stable operation, fund product development, and provide high-quality support,"'' according to statements given to [https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/alMe04/rasende-kunder-opplever-smarthjem-utpressing Tek.no] and reiterated in the FAQ.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":13" /><ref name=":1" /> Fries explained that the subscription was introduced to ensure the '''long-term viability''' of the platform after bankruptcy: without new revenue, they could not guarantee stable operation of the cloud servers or continued updates to the product.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Rasende kunder opplever smarthjem-utpressing |trans-title=Furious customers experience smart home blackmail |url=https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/alMe04/rasende-kunder-opplever-smarthjem-utpressing |access-date=13 Jul 2025 |website=Tek.no |language=no |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251208120232/https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/alMe04/rasende-kunder-opplever-smarthjem-utpressing |archive-date=8 Dec 2025}}</ref>

He stated that the annual fee would help fund ongoing development of new features and maintain a high level of support for customers.<ref name=":0" /> The company also e-mailed users saying the change would ultimately provide ''"better functionality, more security, and higher value in the solution you already have invested in",'' positioning the subscription as an improvement for the user base.<ref name=":13" />

==Consumer response==
The reaction from Futurehome's user base was negative. Norwegian customers described the move as a betrayal, given that the original sale included full functionality with no indication that a subscription would be introduced later.

On [[Reddit]]'s r/norge, there is an active discussion thread filled with outrage, legal concerns, and comparisons to {{Wplink|ransomware}} tactics.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Futurehome tvinger eksisterende kunder over til et abonnement, hva nå? : r/norge |url=https://old.reddit.com/r/norge/comments/1lek0p7/futurehome_tvinger_eksisterende_kunder_over_til/ |access-date=14 Jul 2025}}</ref><ref name=":2" />

One user, muffinmeistro, wrote:<blockquote>''I can't understand how what they're trying to do here is legal. I'd like to hear what u/thomasiversen thinks.''

''They're removing functionality locally in a hub (computer) that I've paid for with an update.''<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=18 Jun 2025 |title=Futurehome is forcing existing customers to switch to a subscription, what now? : r/norge |url=https://old.reddit.com/r/norge/comments/1lek0p7/comment/myhs0sm/?tl=en |url-status= |access-date=13 Jul 2025}}</ref>

''(Translated from Norwegian)''</blockquote>Another user posted expressing concern for the pushing of the subscription, as well as a poor user experience:<blockquote>''I want to spend my money somewhere else than paying over 1000 kroner a year for half-hearted functionality. What options do I have? I currently have lights and thermostats from Futurehome. Can these devices be used with Home Assistant?<ref>{{Cite web |author=MrGeniusL |date=18 Jun 2025 |title=Futurehome tvinger eksisterende kunder over til et abonnement, hva nå? |url=http://old.reddit.com/r/norge/comments/1lek0p7/futurehome_tvinger_eksisterende_kunder_over_til/ |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |website=r/norge |language=no}}</ref>''

''(Translated from Norwegian)''</blockquote>

==Questionable legality==
This issue drew attention to consumer protection laws. Norway is not a member of the [[European Union]], but it is part of the European Economic Area (EEA), which means EU consumer-protection directives (such as those barring unfair commercial practices) are incorporated into Norwegian law. Observers noted that retroactively charging a subscription for a product that was sold under a no-fee premise might violate these rules, though as of mid-2025 it remained unclear if any official action would be taken. Some users discussed the possibility of legal recourse or a class-action lawsuit in response to Futurehome's move.

==$5000 bounty to crack firmware==
On 16 July 2025, consumer rights advocate Louis Rossmann announced that he would pay a $5000 bounty to anyone capable of restoring the previous functions of Futurehome's products. In addition, Rossman would hire a lawyer to defend the individual that provided the solution, if he or she were to be taken to court.

In response to this, FHSD Connect AS CEO, Øyvind Fries, says that:
<blockquote>It is regrettable that we now have to spend time and resources on strengthening the security around a service in demand, rather than further developing functionality for the benefit of our customers (Translated from Norwegian).</blockquote>

Fries adds that their focus is on reliable and user-friendly services, with former customers of Futurehome being of primary interest. Regarding the bounty, Fries expressed:
<blockquote>Although some perceive this as entertainment, it can have serious consequences for several thousand subscribers who use the service daily.

Unauthorized access to software is considered illegal hacking, and is punished according to Norwegian law (Translated from Norwegian).</blockquote>

When asked by the journalists at Tek.no about what legal actions that FHDS Connect AS would take if someone were to obtain the bounty, Fries said:
<blockquote>Any offenses are followed up by the police, who have experience with this type of problem (Translated from Norwegian).</blockquote>

==Similarity to Wink==
In 2020, [[Wink]] suddenly introduced a $4.99 monthly fee for continued use of its previously free smart-home service, giving customers only a one-week ultimatum and warning that devices would stop working if they didn't pay.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wink smart hub users get one week's notice to pay up or lose access |url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/05/wink-smart-hub-users-get-one-weeks-notice-to-pay-up-or-lose-access/ |access-date=13 Jul 2025 |website=Ars Technica |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251126051826/https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/05/wink-smart-hub-users-get-one-weeks-notice-to-pay-up-or-lose-access/ |archive-date=26 Nov 2025}}</ref> That move led to a class-action lawsuit alleging deceptive business practices, breach of warranty, and even ''"trespass to chattels"'' on the grounds that Wink's remote deactivation scheme unlawfully interfered with consumers' owned property.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Greenwald Davidson Radbil PLLC files amended class action complaint against Wink Labs, Inc. over new monthly charge |url=https://www.gdrlawfirm.com/Wink-class-action |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313203733/https://www.gdrlawfirm.com/Wink-class-action |archive-date=13 Mar 2023 |access-date=13 Jul 2025 |website=Greenwald Davidson Radbil PLLC}}</ref>

Futurehome's forced subscription draws parallels to the Wink case while demonstrating an industry pattern of undermining the '''[[right to own]]''' what one has bought. Critics argue that such practices erode customers' sense of ownership, turning purchased devices into services that can be revoked or pay-walled at any time.

==Impact on third-party integrations==
Beyond the immediate loss of app functionality, the subscription requirement '''disables all third-party integrations'''. Futurehome previously allowed integration with:

*Home Assistant via a custom MQTT bridge<ref>{{Cite web |title=runelangseid/hassio-futurehome2mqtt |url=https://github.com/runelangseid/hassio-futurehome2mqtt |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251128005923/https://github.com/runelangseid/hassio-futurehome2mqtt |archive-date=28 Nov 2025}}</ref>
*Homebridge via NPM plugin for Apple HomeKit<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=homebridge-futurehome - npm |url=https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-futurehome |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250907045629/https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-futurehome |archive-date=7 Sep 2025}}</ref> let Futurehome devices be controlled via Siri and the Apple Home app

These relied on the hub's local API and MQTT server. Once disabled, no data is sent or received, breaking compatibility with these platforms. Once the subscription enforcement kicked in, the hub stopped publishing or accepting local MQTT messages and the API shut down, breaking compatibility.

While some users may migrate to other smart home ecosystems using open protocols like Zigbee2MQTT<ref>{{Cite web |title=Zigbee2MQTT Supported Devices – Futurehome |url=https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/#v=Futurehome |access-date=14 Jul 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260127094607/https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ |archive-date=27 Jan 2026}}</ref>, some Futurehome-branded devices (e.g., the HAN-Sensor and Futurehome Charge EV charger) may lose core features or become inaccessible due to lack of open community drivers.

==Inadequate subscription notice==
Futurehome does not prominently disclose the new subscription requirement in product listings nor on its website homepage, even as the change was rolled out. The company's official website and online store continued to list the Smarthub and related products with their one-time purchase price only, with no prominent notice about the required annual fee.

The only mention of a subscription on the homepage was buried in fine print upon scrolling, and product pages ''(for devices like the HAN-Sensor or the Futurehome Mode Switch)'' contain no warning that the system requires ongoing payments.

Similarly, the Futurehome app listings on the Apple App Store and Google Play made no reference to a subscription requirement, potentially misleading new customers into thinking the hub's functionality was included in the purchase price.

==Network hacking possibility==


First, find out the IP address of the FH device on the network. Since most IPv4 networks use RFC-1918 addresses on the inside of the network, let's say our example IP is 10.20.30.40/24. Once we have this, let's capture all the network traffic being sent to and from the device. If at all possible, create a SPAN/mirror port on the connected switch to include local (multicast and broadcast) traffic. If we can't, let's start at the firewall. Depending on the vendor (Check Point, Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, whatever) the syntax will be unique but we want the capture to look like this:

''tcpdump -nn -vvv -e -s 0 -X -c 100000 -i eth0 host 10.20.30.40''

Assuming that `eth0` is our internal interface, this will capture all non-local traffic to and from the device. Now, if the traffic is not encrypted, we can read the payloads of what's being sent to/from the device which will also include the DNS requests so long as the DNS server is hosted externally. If it's internal, we want to run and gather logs on the DNS server to see what A/AAAA records are being requested by the FH device.

If the traffic is encrypted, this changes things as the firewall won't be able to decrypt the traffic. To bypass this issue, we'd use a tool such as Burp Suite (https://portswigger.net/burp) on our computer to intercept the traffic. This requires our computer to act as a routing device (likely with NAT to avoid ICMP Redirects) which is outside the scope of this blurb. So long as the FH device and service don't use Certificate Pinning and/or HSTS, the Burp device will be able to decrypt all the traffic.

At this point, we should now know:

#The DNS A/AAAA requests and responses that the FH device queries
#The Layer-3 protocols and Layer-4 ports in use by the device
#The commands sent back and forth between the FH device and the FH server
#The responses sent back and forth from item three, above

Armed with this, we will need to create a DNS server that has a local zone (db.rpz.local) for each DNS request by the FH device. These entries should point to (what will eventually become) our custom FH server. For this example, let's use 1.2.3.4 as the server IP. Now, any time the FH device wants to connect to the actual FH server and it's using our DNS server, it will connect to 1.2.3.4 (our custom server) instead.

We now have traffic being routed to our custom server at 1.2.3.4 at which point we need to create software to receive and properly answer the commands being sent to/from the FH device. While I don't know what those would look like, if they're simple commands (ex: temp_set_21 -> command_ok) the server-side could be something as simple as a BASH script wrapped up with NetCat, a python socket server or even a more robust C++ server.

Firmware isn't hacked: We've just created a new tool that the FH device ''happens'' to work with. :)

====="Anonymized Data"=====
While Flock's Terms and Conditions define "Anonymized Data" as customer data that is ''"permanently stripped of identifying details and any potential personally identifiable information"'' and is rendered so that a person or entity ''"can no longer be identified directly or indirectly,"'' this definition includes information such as vehicle make, model, color, location patterns, and other non–license-plate attributes.<ref name=":1" />

Privacy researchers caution that mobility datasets labeled as "anonymized" can still be re-identified. A 2013 MIT study found that just four spatio-temporal points uniquely identified 95% of individuals in an anonymized location dataset.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=de Montjoye |first=Y.-A. |last2=Hidalgo |first2=C.

====Market control====
Flock Safety has rapidly expanded to become a dominant force in automated license plate recognition, operating in 49 states with over 40,000 cameras deployed. The company's network effect creates pressure for additional jurisdictions to join, as law enforcement effectiveness depends on network coverage. Several states have begun restricting access following privacy violations, with California, Illinois, and New York limiting data sharing after immigration and abortion-related tracking incidents.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.michaelrcronin.com/post/flock-blocks-ice-from-license-plate-reader-access-in-several-states |title='Flock' Blocks ICE from License Plate Reader Access in Several States |work=Yes You Can Go |date=2025 |access-date=23 Aug 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260112062510/https://www.michaelrcronin.com/post/flock-blocks-ice-from-license-plate-reader-access-in-several-states |archive-date=12 Jan 2026}}</ref>

===Premise of a "license plate camera"===
While marketed as "license plate readers,"' Flock cameras use what the company calls "Vehicle Fingerprint" technology which tracks vehicles using characteristics beyond just license plates. The system catalogs vehicles based on numerous distinguishing features including make, model, color, bumper stickers, dents, damage patterns, roof racks, aftermarket modifications such as wheels or spoilers, window stickers, and even mismatching paint colors.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date= |title=LPR Cameras |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/products/license-plate-readers |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://archive.ph/YWYB6 |archive-date=25 Aug 2025 |access-date=26 Oct 2025 |work=Flock Safety}}</ref>. According to Flock's own marketing materials, the system can identify vehicles even when license plates cannot be captured, advertised as turning "images into actionable evidence — no plate required."<ref>{{Cite web |title=License Plate Readers |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/products/license-plate-readers |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://archive.ph/YWYB6 |archive-date=25 Aug 2025 |access-date=23 Aug 2025 |work=Flock Safety}}</ref>

Flock claims this capability is ''"unique among ALPR systems"'' and allows law enforcement to search for vehicles based on these characteristics even without a visible license plate.

This technology changes the nature of the surveillance from license plate reading to comprehensive vehicle tracking. A person could still be tracked by the unique combination of their vehicle's physical characteristics. The Electronic Frontier Foundation warns that these ''"vehicle fingerprints"'' could flag vehicles based on political bumper stickers, revealing ''"information on the political or social views of the driver,"'' or economic indicators like rust or damage, potentially "endangering anyone who might not feel the need (or have the income required) to keep their car in perfect shape."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-14 |title=Things to Know Before Your Neighborhood Installs an Automated License Plate Reader |url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/flock-license-plate-reader-homeowners-association-safe-problems |access-date=2025-08-23 |work=Electronic Frontier Foundation |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260221033709/https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/flock-license-plate-reader-homeowners-association-safe-problems |archive-date=21 Feb 2026}}</ref>

Privacy advocates note that this expanded tracking capability makes the term ''"license plate reader"'' misleading, as Flock systems create detailed vehicle profiles that persist even without readable plates. It turns any distinguishing feature of a vehicle into a tracking identifier.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stop Flock |url=https://www.stopflock.com/ |access-date=2025-08-23 |work=Stop Flock |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251222060644/https://stopflock.com/ |archive-date=22 Dec 2025}}</ref>

==Patent for person identification by race and physical characteristics==
A U.S. Patent granted to Flock Group Inc. in August 2022 reveals the company has developed and patented technology to identify and classify people based on race, gender, and other physical characteristics.<ref name="patent11416545">{{Cite web |url=https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/77/9a/03/7b3b26499077d4/US11416545.pdf |title=System and Method for Object Based Query of Video Content Captured by a Dynamic Surveillance Network |website=United States Patent and Trademark Office |date=16 Aug 2022 |access-date=21 Jan 2025 |format=PDF |first1=Garrett |last1=Langley |first2=Matt |last2=Feury  |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260202115638/https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/77/9a/03/7b3b26499077d4/US11416545.pdf |archive-date=2 Feb 2026}}</ref> Patent US 11,416,545 B1 describes a system that goes beyond vehicle identification to analyze human subjects captured in surveillance footage.

According to the patent documentation, when the system identifies a human being in captured footage, it uses neural network modules specifically configured to classify people by "male, female, race, etc." The patent further describes using additional neural networks to identify clothing types, estimate height and weight, and other physical characteristics of individuals.<ref name="patent11416545" /> The system can then store this classification data in searchable databases, allowing law enforcement to query for people based on these physical attributes.

The patent shows that Flock's technology is designed to create comprehensive profiles that can track individuals across multiple camera locations by matching physical characteristics. While Flock publicly markets its products as ''"license plate readers"'' focused on vehicles, this patent demonstrates the company has developed capabilities for detailed human surveillance and classification by protected characteristics including race and gender.<ref name="patent11416545" />

Privacy and civil-liberties advocates have warned that biometric/appearance-based identification and classification—especially along race and gender lines—can enable discriminatory policing and amplify harms from demographic bias and misidentification.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How is Face Recognition Surveillance Technology Racist? |website=American Civil Liberties Union |date=2020-06-16 |url=https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/how-is-face-recognition-surveillance-technology-racist |access-date=2026-02-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260223045330/https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/how-is-face-recognition-surveillance-technology-racist |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=NIST Study Evaluates Effects of Race, Age, Sex on Face Recognition Software |website=National Institute of Standards and Technology |date=2019-12-19 |url=https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2019/12/nist-study-evaluates-effects-race-age-sex-face-recognition-software |access-date=2026-02-20 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260213231602/https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2019/12/nist-study-evaluates-effects-race-age-sex-face-recognition-software |archive-date=13 Feb 2026}}</ref> In that context, the Flock Group patent’s explicit discussion of classifying people by attributes including “race” and “male/female” suggests capabilities that extend beyond vehicle identification.<ref>{{Cite web |title=US11416545B1 - System and method for object based query of video content captured by a dynamic surveillance network |website=Google Patents |date=2022-08-16 |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US11416545B1 |access-date=2026-02-20 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260204132539/https://patents.google.com/patent/US11416545B1 |archive-date=4 Feb 2026}}</ref>

==Legal challenges==

===Washington state judge declares Flock footage as public records (''November 2025'')===
An Oregon resident filed public records requests at various police departments in the state of Washington regarding information collected from Flock cameras. The cities of Stanwood and Sedro-Woolley filed a motion to reject the resident's request, with their attorney stating that publicizing Flock footage may be a violation of privacy that could lead to stalking.

Some exemptions are given to deny public records request, particularly due to investigations. However, the judge dismissed the motion, declaring that the camera footage was "so broad and indiscriminate" with no distinction between criminal activity and casual civilian activity that the data had to be released to the public.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ingalls |first=Chris |date=6 Nov 2025 |title=Judge orders police to release surveillance camera data, raising privacy questions |url=https://www.king5.com/article/news/investigations/investigators/judge-orders-washington-police-release-surveillance-camera-data-privacy-questions/281-c2037d52-6afb-4bf7-95ad-0eceaf477864 |access-date=8 Nov 2025 |website=KING5 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251110233248/https://www.king5.com/article/news/investigations/investigators/judge-orders-washington-police-release-surveillance-camera-data-privacy-questions/281-c2037d52-6afb-4bf7-95ad-0eceaf477864 |archive-date=10 Nov 2025}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |last=Peterson |first=Jenna |date=6 Nov 2025 |title=Judge denies request to exempt Flock footage from Public Records Act |url=https://www.heraldnet.com/news/judge-denies-request-to-exempt-flock-footage-from-public-records-act/ |access-date=8 Nov 2025 |website=Herald Net |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251226145253/https://www.heraldnet.com/news/judge-denies-request-to-exempt-flock-footage-from-public-records-act/ |archive-date=26 Dec 2025}}</ref>

The judge stated:<ref name=":5" /><blockquote>“I do think that the information at stake does have serious privacy implications, but that’s not the analysis for the intelligence information exemption,” she said. “You also have to make a finding that this is specific intelligence information that is compiled by investigative or law enforcement agencies, and the information that’s being compiled here does not relate to a specific case or investigation. The public already knows that these cameras exist and are operated. Many of them are in sight.

In February 2025, Chief Judge Mark S. Davis of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia denied Norfolk's motion to dismiss a landmark Fourth Amendment lawsuit. The case involves two residents whose vehicles were tracked 526 times in 4.5 months and 849 times over the same period, figures revealed in a September 2025 court filing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/virginia-police-used-flock-cameras-track-driver-safety-lawsuit-surveil-rcna230399|title=Virginia police used Flock cameras to track driver 526 times in 4 months, lawsuit says|work=NBC News|date=2025-09-18|access-date=2025-08-23 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260220002237/https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/virginia-police-used-flock-cameras-track-driver-safety-lawsuit-surveil-rcna230399 |archive-date=20 Feb 2026}}</ref> Norfolk installed 172 Flock Safety cameras in 2023 at a cost of $430,000-$516,000 annually. Police Chief Mark Talbot stated the goal was making it ''"difficult to drive anywhere of any distance without running into a camera somewhere."''<ref name="norfolk" />

Judge Davis's ruling relied on ''Carpenter v. United States'', the 2018 Supreme Court decision requiring warrants for historical cell phone location data. The court found Norfolk's ALPR network "notably similar" to the surveillance the Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional. However, courts remain divided. In November 2024, Senior U.S. District Judge Robert E. Payne in the same district denied a motion to suppress Flock evidence, holding that three vehicle snapshots don't constitute "persistent surveillance" requiring a warrant.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://valawyersweekly.com/2024/11/11/mosaic-theory-rejected-flock-camera-evidence-does-not-violate-fourth-amendment/|title='Mosaic theory' rejected: Flock camera evidence does not violate Fourth Amendment|website=Virginia Lawyers Weekly|date=2024-11-11|access-date=2025-10-05 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251208113511/https://valawyersweekly.com/2024/11/11/mosaic-theory-rejected-flock-camera-evidence-does-not-violate-fourth-amendment/ |archive-date=8 Dec 2025}}</ref>

Virginia state courts show similar disagreement. Norfolk Circuit Court Judge Jamilah LeCruise granted a suppression motion in May 2024, finding that the breadth of Flock cameras covering Norfolk requires a warrant.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.govtech.com/public-safety/virginia-judge-rejects-alpr-evidence-without-warrant|title=Virginia Judge Rejects ALPR Evidence Without Warrant|website=Government Technology|date=2024-05-15|access-date=2025-10-05 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251213050025/https://www.govtech.com/public-safety/virginia-judge-rejects-alpr-evidence-without-warrant |archive-date=13 Dec 2025}}</ref> Yet three other Norfolk circuit court judges denied similar motions in 2024.

===False positive incidents===

====Families detained at gunpoint====

===Abortion and reproductive healthcare tracking===
In May 2025, Johnson County, Texas sheriff's deputies used Flock's network to track a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. They conducted searches across 83,000+ Flock cameras nationwide with the explicit reason: "had an abortion, search for female." The search accessed cameras across multiple states including those where abortion is legal. The incident led Illinois officials to investigate and subsequently block 47+ out-of-state agencies from accessing Illinois ALPR data.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas/2025/06/13/after-finding-fetal-remains-north-texas-cops-used-camera-network-to-search-for-woman/|title=After finding fetal remains, North Texas cops used camera network to search for woman|work=The Dallas Morning News|date=2025-06-13|access-date=2025-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260223045557/https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas/2025/06/13/after-finding-fetal-remains-north-texas-cops-used-camera-network-to-search-for-woman/ |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/she-got-abortion-so-texas-cop-used-83000-cameras-track-her-down|title=She Got an Abortion.

Investigations and court records show that some law enforcement officers have misused Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems for personal, non-investigative purposes, including stalking romantic partners or monitoring civilians. These incidents highlight weaknesses & lack of internal oversight, & the reliance on post-hoc audits rather than real-time safeguards.

In Menasha, Wisconsin, police officer Cristian Morales was charged in January 2026 with misconduct in office after allegedly using the department’s Flock ALPR system to track his ex-girlfriend. Prosecutors alleged Morales conducted five unauthorized searches of his ex-partner’s vehicle in October 2025. According to the criminal complaint, Morales admitted he knew the searches were improper and cited “desperation and bad judgment.” He was placed on administrative leave, prohibited from accessing Flock systems, and released on a $10,000 cash bond pending further proceedings. Court records also show a related civil filing seeking a temporary restraining order in a domestic abuse case.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kerhin |first=Brian |date=2026-01-09 |title=Menasha police officer accused of using license plate recognition system to track his ex |url=https://fox11online.com/news/crime/menasha-police-officer-accused-of-using-license-plate-recognition-system-to-track-his-ex |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/V8GGF |archive-date=13 January 2026 |work=FOX 11 News}}</ref>

The Menasha case matches what is becoming a national pattern. In Kansas, Kechi Police Lieutenant Victor Heiar pleaded guilty in 2022 to computer crimes & stalking after using Flock cameras to monitor his estranged wife’s movements over several months.<ref>{{cite news |last=Baker |first=Joe |date=2022-10-31 |title=Kechi police lieutenant arrested for using police technology to stalk wife |url=https://www.kwch.com/2022/10/31/kechi-police-lieutenant-arrested-using-police-technology-stalk-wife/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260216093439/https://www.kwch.com/2022/10/31/kechi-police-lieutenant-arrested-using-police-technology-stalk-wife/ |archive-date=16 Feb 2026 |work=KWCH}}</ref> In another Kansas incident, Sedgwick Police Chief Lee Nygaard admitted in 2025 to accessing Flock ALPR data more than 160 times to track his ex-girlfriend and her new partner, resulting in his resignation and loss of police certification.<ref>{{cite news |last=Stavola |first=Michael |date=August 17, 2024 |title=Kansas police chief used Flock license plate cameras to track ex-girlfriend |url=https://www.yahoo.com/news/kansas-police-chief-used-flock-093300946.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260124143444/https://www.yahoo.com/news/kansas-police-chief-used-flock-093300946.html |archive-date=24 Jan 2026 |work=Yahoo News}}</ref>

More cases involving other surveillance systems show a similar misuse. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer Christopher Young was arrested in 2023 for stalking his ex-fiancée using police databases, and in California, Riverside County deputy Eric Piscatella pleaded guilty in 2024 to multiple counts of misusing sheriff’s department databases to stalk a woman he met while off duty.<ref>{{cite news |last=McCandless |first=C.C. |date=2024-02-16 |title=Las Vegas police officer arrested for reportedly stalking ex-fiancée |url=https://www.fox5vegas.com/2024/02/16/las-vegas-police-officer-arrested-reportedly-stalking-ex-fiancee/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240907035401/https://www.fox5vegas.com/2024/02/16/las-vegas-police-officer-arrested-reportedly-stalking-ex-fiancee/ |archive-date=7 Sep 2024 |work=FOX5 Vegas}}</ref>

Oversight reviews & civil liberties organizations have noted that ALPR systems enable quick searches of historical vehicle location data across wide geographic areas. This reduces practical barriers to stalking & increases the risk of abuse by authorized users. While Flock & participating agencies rely on usage policies & access logs, many cases show misuse was detected only after complaints or later audits rather than through proactive safeguards.<ref>{{cite web |date=February 22, 2023 |title=Automated License Plate Readers widely used, subject to abuse |url=https://stpp.fordschool.umich.edu/news/2023/automated-license-plate-readers-widely-used-subject-abuse |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260205112852/https://stpp.fordschool.umich.edu/news/2023/automated-license-plate-readers-widely-used-subject-abuse |archive-date=5 Feb 2026 |work=University of Michigan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Davidson |first=Nikki |date=April 16, 2024 |title=ALPR Audit Takeaways: What We Learned About Policy Gaps |url=https://www.govtech.com/biz/data/alpr-audit-takeaways-what-we-learned-about-policy-gaps |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251226002217/https://www.govtech.com/biz/data/alpr-audit-takeaways-what-we-learned-about-policy-gaps |archive-date=26 Dec 2025 |work=Government Technology}}</ref>

The city of Evanston responded with a cease-and-desist order for Flock to remove the new and unauthorized camera equipment. Because Flock reinstalled the cameras without permission, Evanston was forced to cover the cameras with tape and bags to block them from potentially logging vehicle data.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harrison |first=Alex |date=2025-09-25 |title=City covers Flock cameras while waiting for removal |url=https://evanstonroundtable.com/2025/09/25/city-covers-up-flock-cameras-while-waiting-for-removal/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260220002233/https://evanstonroundtable.com/2025/09/25/city-covers-up-flock-cameras-while-waiting-for-removal/ |archive-date=20 Feb 2026|access-date=2025-10-10 |website=Evanston Roundtable}}</ref>

===City rejections and terminations===

Multiple cities have rejected or terminated Flock contracts following privacy concerns and effectiveness issues:

Austin, Texas terminated its contract in July 2025 after an audit revealed "systematic compliance failures" and only 165 arrests from 113 million license plate scans (0.146% effectiveness rate).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Velez |first=Abigail |title=Flock CEO responds to Austin backlash as city contract nears expiration |url=https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/flock-ceo-responds-to-austin-backlash-as-city-contract-nears-expiration |website=CBS Austin |date=21 Jun 2025 |access-date=6 May 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260216120645/https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/flock-ceo-responds-to-austin-backlash-as-city-contract-nears-expiration |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref>

===Arizona deployments===
Sedona, Arizona became the first Arizona city to completely terminate its Flock Safety contract in September 2025 after citizen backlash. The city had installed 11 cameras in June 2025 without prior public notice at a cost of $51,146 for the first year. The council voted 5-1 to pause the program, then unanimously 7-0 on September 9 to permanently terminate after Flock CEO Garrett Langley admitted the company had been sharing data with federal agencies. Vice Mayor Holli Ploog called Flock "not an honorable company" for the conflicting data-sharing claims.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://westvalleyfamilies.substack.com/p/sedona-pulls-the-plug-on-flock-safety|title=Sedona Pulls the Plug on Flock Safety|website=West Valley Families|date=2025-09-10|access-date=2025-10-05 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251209130335/https://westvalleyfamilies.substack.com/p/sedona-pulls-the-plug-on-flock-safety |archive-date=9 Dec 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Skabelund |first=Adrian |date=2025-09-11 |title=Sedona council permanently ends license plate camera program |url=https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2025-09-11/sedona-council-permanently-ends-license-plate-camera-program |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260212215752/https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2025-09-11/sedona-council-permanently-ends-license-plate-camera-program |archive-date=12 Feb 2026 |access-date=2025-10-05 |website=KNAU}}</ref>

==Security vulnerabilities==
In 2025, Flock Safety reported security vulnerabilities in its devices and submitted them to MITRE for inclusion in the National Vulnerability Database, including issues such as hard-coded credentials and improper access controls.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-05 |title=Gunshot Detection and License Plate Reader Security Alert |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/gunshot-detection-and-license-plate-reader-security-alert |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/2DEQv |archive-date=5 May 2026 |website=Flock Safety}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-02 |title=CVE-2025-59403 : The Flock Safety Android Collins application (aka com.flocksafety.android.collin |url=https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2025-59403/ |website=CVEdetails.com |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251207014907/https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2025-59403/ |archive-date=7 Dec 2025}}</ref> Similar security concerns have affected other ALPR systems, including exposure of default passwords and unencrypted data storage.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Quintin |first=Cooper |date=28 Oct 2015 |title=License Plate Readers Exposed!

This represents one of several major security disclosures in the past decade. In 2015, the Electronic Frontier Foundation documented more than 100 ALPR cameras accessible on the open internet, often without passwords or proper configuration.<ref name=":4" /> A more serious documented breach occurred in 2019, when Perceptics, LLC, a subcontractor for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, exposed approximately 105,000 license plate images and 184,000 traveler facial images.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Review of CBP's Major Cybersecurity Incident During a 2019 Biometric Pilot |url=https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2020-09/OIG-20-71-Sep20.pdf |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260121195004/https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2020-09/OIG-20-71-Sep20.pdf |archive-date=21 Jan 2026}}</ref>

In 2025 it has been discovered that the cameras run [[wikipedia:Android_Oreo|Android 8.0 (Oreo)]] an operating system with 90 security vulnerabilities. The cameras also send data unencrypted and are easily tricked by stingrays. The compute boxes have easily accessible USB-c ports leaving the device vulnerable to rubber duckies. When the power button is pressed in a specific order the device emits a Wi-Fi hotspot that can be used to gain [[wikipedia:Android_Debug_Bridge|ADB]] access.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Benn |first=Jordan |date=2025-11-16 |title=We Hacked Flock Safety Cameras in under 30 Seconds. |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY |website=YouTube |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY |archive-date=23 Feb 2026}}</ref>

==Government accountability and oversight==

===State audit findings===
California State Auditor's February 2020 investigation found the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), with a 320 million image database, had no ALPR-specific policy at all. The audit found 96% of agencies claim to have policies, but most are incomplete. Data retention periods varied wildly with no justification. LAPD maintained a minimum five-year retention period, yet couldn't demonstrate that images stored for years had investigative value. The audit found that 99.9% of the 320 million images Los Angeles stores are for vehicles that were not on a "hot list" when the image was made.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://information.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2019-118/summary.html |title=Automated License Plate Readers |website=California State Auditor |date=13 Feb 2020 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251113154443/https://information.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2019-118/summary.html |archive-date=13 Nov 2025}}</ref>

New Jersey provides a contrasting model with mandatory annual audits of all 523 law enforcement agencies. The 2024 audit reported only two significant violations, both involving users who hadn't completed required training.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024 |title=2024 Audit of Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Data |url=https://nj.gov/njsp/ALPR/pdf/2024_Audit_Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_(ALPR)_Data_Collected_Utilized_NJ_Law_Enforcement_Agencies.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251207224414/https://nj.gov/njsp/ALPR/pdf/2024_Audit_Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_(ALPR)_Data_Collected_Utilized_NJ_Law_Enforcement_Agencies.pdf |archive-date=7 Dec 2025 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |website=New Jersey State Police |format=PDF}}</ref>

A Government Technology analysis found that agencies often fail to audit ALPR systems regularly, leaving them "open to abuse by neglecting to institute sufficient oversight."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Davidson |first=Nikki |date=2024 |title=ALPR Audit Takeaways: What We Learned About Policy Gaps |url=https://www.govtech.com/biz/data/alpr-audit-takeaways-what-we-learned-about-policy-gaps |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251226002217/https://www.govtech.com/biz/data/alpr-audit-takeaways-what-we-learned-about-policy-gaps |archive-date=26 Dec 2025 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |website=Government Technology}}</ref>

===Cost-benefit analysis===
Arizona Department of Transportation's 2008 study of generic ALPR technology (predating Flock Safety by nine years) estimated $9.98 million for a hypothetical statewide ALPR system. The projected benefit-to-cost ratio of 9.6:1 came entirely from registration and insurance compliance, not crime reduction.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://apps.azdot.gov/files/ADOTLibrary/publications/project_reports/PDF/AZ637.pdf |title=Automated License Plate Recognition Technology Implementation Report |website=Arizona Department of Transportation |date=1 Jun 2008 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251208050300/https://apps.azdot.gov/files/ADOTLibrary/publications/project_reports/pdf/az637.pdf |archive-date=8 Dec 2025}}</ref>

Colorado's Office of Research and Statistics reported that while ALPR systems are expanding, independent academic research contradicts vendor claims. A 2011 George Mason University study concluded ALPRs "do not achieve a prevention or deterrent effect" on crime.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://cdpsdocs.state.co.us/ors/Docs/Briefs/2024-05_InDetail-ALPR.pdf |title=Automated License Plate Readers (In Detail) |website=Colorado Division of Criminal Justice |date=1 May 2024 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |format=PDF |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251212210653/https://cdpsdocs.state.co.us/ors/Docs/Briefs/2024-05_InDetail-ALPR.pdf |archive-date=12 Dec 2025}}</ref>

Oakland Police Department reported 182 arrests from ALPR in the first year, representing 1.4% of homicides, robberies, burglaries, and firearm assaults. The Northern California Regional Intelligence Center states approximately 1-2 vehicles out of 1,000 initiate alerts — a hit rate of just 0.1-0.2%.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ncric.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/California-Law-Enforcement-ALPR-FAQ.pdf |title=California Law Enforcement ALPR FAQ |website=NCRIC |date=2021 |access-date=5 Oct 2025 |format=PDF |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260219214745/https://ncric.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/California-Law-Enforcement-ALPR-FAQ.pdf |archive-date=19 Feb 2026}}</ref>

===Mountain View Findings===

The Mountain View Police Department became aware in early January in 2026 during a department-initiated audit that for a brief period in 2024 federal agencies accessed data from the first camera in operation in the city.

“During the prior federal administration, from August to November 2024, several federal law enforcement agencies accessed Mountain View’s Flock Safety ALPR system for one camera via a 'nationwide' search setting that was turned on by Flock Safety. This setting was enabled without MVPD’s permission or knowledge. The federal agencies that accessed the one camera’s data include Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives offices in Kentucky and Nashville, TN; Langley Air Force Base in Virginia; the U.S. GSA Office of Inspector General; Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada; and an Ohio Air Force Base. Flock Safety did not retain records for that time period, which means the vendor cannot determine whether searches of Mountain View’s data resulted in license plate information being shared.”<ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-01-30 |title=City Statement {{!}} City News {{!}} Mountain View, CA |url=https://www.mountainview.gov/Home/Components/News/News/1203/284 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260216084340/https://www.mountainview.gov/Home/Components/News/News/1203/284 |archive-date=16 Feb 2026 |access-date=2026-02-07 |website=mountainview.gov}}</ref>

MVPD officers also uncovered that “statewide lookup” had been turned on for all the city’s cameras since the program began. This feature has been turned off by the department on January 5, 2026. The MVPD plans to present a review of the ALPR pilot program to the City Council.

On February 2, 2026 Mountain View Police Chief Mike Canfield announced that all of the city's license plate cameras are being disabled, effective immediately.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Margaretten |first=Emily |last2=Morgan |first2=Zoe |date=2026-01-30 |title=Mountain View discovers unauthorized access to license plate data |url=https://www.mv-voice.com/police/2026/01/30/amid-immigration-crackdown-mountain-view-discovers-unauthorized-access-to-license-plate-data/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260222220813/https://www.mv-voice.com/police/2026/01/30/amid-immigration-crackdown-mountain-view-discovers-unauthorized-access-to-license-plate-data/ |archive-date=22 Feb 2026|access-date=2026-02-07 |website=Mountain View Voice}}</ref>

====Cease and desist to DeFlock.me====
DeFlock.org (formerly DeFlock.me) is a website allowing users to log and view the locations of ALPRs, such as Flock products. On 30 January 2025, Flock sent a cease and desist notice to the owner of DeFlock demanding the name of the website be changed to exclude the company's brand name. The letter also stated that "the Website also implies that various license plate readers are vulnerable to security hacks [...]" which Flock alleged "[...] provides a false impression about the security of Flock Products."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Matz |first=Sarah M. |title=2025 01 31 DEFLOCK CD final |url=https://www.eff.org/files/2025/02/26/2025_01_31_deflock_cd_ex-3.pdf |website=Electronic Frontier Foundation |date=30 Jan 2025 |access-date=27 Oct 2025 |url-status=live |format=PDF |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251020035804/https://www.eff.org/files/2025/02/26/2025_01_31_deflock_cd_ex-3.pdf |archive-date=20 Oct 2025}}</ref>

===Signal cloud backups===
In 2020, Signal was accused of collecting and storing sensitive user data on their cloud database without user consent.{{citation needed}}

[[Signal messenger|Signal]] states on their website that they can't "read your messages or listen to your calls, and no one else can either."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Signal |url=https://signal.org/ |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260222135458/https://signal.org/ |archive-date=22 Feb 2026 |website=[[Signal]]}}</ref><blockquote>"We’ve designed the Signal service to minimize the data we retain about Signal users, so the only information we can produce in response to a request like this is the date and time a user registered with Signal and the last date of a user’s connectivity to the Signal service.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T15:58:14Z

Tempo123: /* Alternative frontends & mirrors */ Add new frontend, JTAP

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.
* [https://www.justthearticleplease.com/ Just The Article Please]: Frontend for articles like Reuters to allow for archiving with IA and Megalodon.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a manually updated table of (hopefully) all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

Projects:Archive everything

2026-05-20T15:55:00Z

Tempo123: /* The list */

This project aims to get as many reference links as possible on the wiki switched over to archival links, instead of live links.

== The need to fight link rot ==
Everywhere on the internet, you get link rot - where linked pages either get taken offline, or changed, and the link is no longer useful for its original purpose. Link rot is a doubly serious issue for the Consumer Rights Wiki, as fairly substantial points of fact about companies or incidents may hang on our references, which will often point to a company's own website. The best available way to counter link rot is through archival, and this page serves as a hub for making sure every wiki article has its references archived.

Of particular importance are any links to central pieces of evidence used to support a claim of fact related to something a company has said or done, especially if it is on the website of a company, and can be taken down by them at any time. A reference supporting a more commonly available and frequently changing fact like 'Apple's market cap is $x' is not as important to archive as a company's FAQ, but it certainly won't hurt to do so.

Certain webpages are un-usable when archived, typically due to [[Pay-walling|paywalls]] or embedded dynamic content (typically powered by [[JavaScript]]), and archival may not be appropriate for links leading to this kind of page. Some webpages require the use of a specific archival service (e.g. PreserveTube for YouTube links). To archive pages behind registration or date-of-birth walls that archival services cannot bypass, make a screenshot of the content after getting past the wall and upload it to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive] and/or Consumer Rights Wiki; content hosted on the wiki may serve as an archival of ''last-resort'', but ideally, proper archival services should be used where possible.

== What you need to do ==
The best possible option is to archive a site in as many places as possible, but any archival link is much better than none at all.

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

<code><nowiki><ref>{{Cite web |title=FAQ – End of operations |url=https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250923061946/https://www.spexor-bosch.com/en/faq/faq-end-of-operations/ |archive-date=23 Sep 2025}}</ref></nowiki></code>

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).

=== Archival services ===
* [https://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive] – Primary, most popular archival service, sometimes throttles/blocks VPN IPs. Upload video files and/or screenshots [https://archive.org/upload here] of content that cannot be archived via wayback machine (e.g. Twitter videos downloaded with yt-dlp).
* [https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive] – Secondary archival service.
* [https://megalodon.jp/ Megalodon] – Secondary, Japanese archival service. Can archive YouTube comments.
* [https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube] – Specifically for archiving YouTube videos.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of {{Wplink|Archive.today#History|scrutiny onto themselves}} through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down. It would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service where practicable.

The result of the Wikipedia community's discussion on this matter can be found {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5|here}}.

For guidance on replacing Archive.today links, see the {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Archive.today guidance|guidance page}} on Wikipedia.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===
The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have [[CAPTCHA]]s that end up blocking certain archival services; try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.
* [https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram#instances Kittygram]: Nitter-like frontend for Instagram.
* [https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md Redlib]: Lightweight like old.reddit, good for getting around 18+/nsfw gates that archival services cannot pass (some subreddits flag all posts as nsfw regardless of content).
* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.
* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.

==The list==
Below is a manually updated table of (hopefully) all pages on the wiki, and the current status of their references.

Pages that are missing a references section or have an empty references section are listed as "N/A" as they either do not have links that need archiving, or if they do then those links need to be correctly moved to the references section and/or the page completed/cleaned/reformatted before adding archived links, which is beyond the scope of this project (See [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work]]). This may change if references are properly added to these pages in the future.

==Consumer impact summary==
===Privacy===
Critics, including civil liberties organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), argue that Flock's mass surveillance network violates privacy rights and represents a form of constant public monitoring that differs fundamentally from traditional, fleeting police observation.<ref name="ACLUStanley">{{Cite web |last=Stanley |first=Jay |title=Flock's Aggressive Expansions Go Far Beyond Simple Driver Surveillance |url=https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/flock-roundup |website=American Civil Liberties Union |date=18 Aug 2025 |access-date=6 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250819025249/https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/flock-roundup |archive-date=19 Aug 2025}}</ref> A lawsuit filed in 2024 challenges the constitutionality of warrant-less searches of ALPR databases; courts have split on the issue in different jurisdictions, and rulings continue to be appealed. For example, a federal complaint in ''Schmidt v. City of Norfolk'' (E.D. Va.) alleges repeated location logging by ALPRs, while appellate activity in related Virginia cases continued into 2025. Readers should consult the cited court documents and reporting for further developments.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |last=Collier |first=Kevin |title=Police cameras tracked one driver 526 times in four months, lawsuit says |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/virginia-police-used-flock-cameras-track-driver-safety-lawsuit-surveil-rcna230399 |website=NBC News |date=18 Sep 2025 |access-date=6 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250918133508/https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/virginia-police-used-flock-cameras-track-driver-safety-lawsuit-surveil-rcna230399 |archive-date=18 Sep 2025}}</ref><ref name=":10">{{Cite web |date=14 Oct 2025 |title=Flock Applauds Virginia Court of Appeals Ruling Affirming Constitutionality of LPR Cameras |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/flock-applauds-virginia-court-of-appeals-ruling-affirming-constitutionality-of-lpr-cameras |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/JbcMV |archive-date=20 April 2026 |access-date=6 Jan 2026 |website=Flock Safety}}</ref> The system does not offer a public opt-out mechanism.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Leaving the Door Wide Open: Flock Surveillance Systems Expose Washington Data to Immigration Enforcement |url=https://jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/2025/10/21/leaving-the-door-wide-open/ |website=University of Washington Center for Human Rights

Specific privacy violations include:
*Warrant-less tracking and data sharing: Flock's business model enables a nationwide data-sharing network that allows thousands of law enforcement agencies to access location data without warrants or reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.<ref name="ACLUStanley" />

*Expanded audio surveillance: In 2025, Flock announced that its Raven gunshot detection systems would begin listening for "human distress" sounds, such as screaming, expanding beyond gunshot detection to voice monitoring.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guariglia |first=Matthew |title=Flock's Gunshot Detection Microphones Will Start Listening for Human Voices

*Undermining state shield laws: Despite state laws protecting healthcare access, out-of-state officers from jurisdictions that criminalize abortion or gender-affirming care can access Flock data on residents of protective states.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maass |first=Dave |title=Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person.

*Immigration enforcement: Research from the University of Washington Center for Human Rights documented systematic access to Flock data by federal immigration authorities, often in violation of state laws.<ref name=":0" /> This occurred through three methods: "front door" access, where agencies directly shared data with Border Patrol; "back door" access via a default "National Lookup" setting that granted federal access without explicit local authorization; and "side door" searches where local officers ran searches on behalf of ICE.<ref name=":0" />

*Contractual privacy overreach: The ACLU of Massachusetts found that Flock's default service agreement grants the company a "worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free" license to disclose agency data for "investigative purposes," even if a local police department has chosen to restrict data-sharing with other agencies.<ref name="ACLUStanley2">{{Cite web |last=Stanley |first=Jay |title=Flock Can Share Driver-Surveillance Data Even When Police Departments Opt Out, And Other Flock Developments |url=https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/flock-massachusetts-and-updates |website=American Civil Liberties Union |date=7 Oct 2025 |access-date=6 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251024234020/https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/flock-massachusetts-and-updates |archive-date=24 Oct 2025}}</ref>

===Business model===
Flock Safety operates on a subscription-based "safety-as-a-service" model.<ref name="Sacra">{{Cite web |title=Flock Safety revenue, growth rate & funding |url=https://sacra.com/c/flock-safety/ |website=Sacra |url-access=limited |date= |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251123150450/https://sacra.com/c/flock-safety/ |archive-date=23 Nov 2025}}</ref> The company charges approximately $2,500 per camera annually, plus a one-time installation fee.<ref name="Sacra" /> This subscription includes maintenance, software updates, and data hosting. Forbes reported in 2025 that a single license plate reader camera costs between $3,000 and $3,500, with additional fees for the FlockOS platform.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Brewster |first=Thomas |title=AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2025/09/03/ai-startup-flock-thinks-it-can-eliminate-all-crime-in-america/ |website=Forbes |date=3 Sep 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250903144312/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2025/09/03/ai-startup-flock-thinks-it-can-eliminate-all-crime-in-america/ |archive-date=3 Sep 2025}}</ref> This model has proven highly successful, with the company reporting over $300 million in annual recurring revenue as of 2024, reflecting a 70% year-over-year increase.<ref name="FlockFunding" />

Flock's AI-enabled cameras capture detailed vehicle "[[Device fingerprint|fingerprints]]" — including make, model, color, bumper stickers, damages, and other distinguishing characteristics — in addition to license plates,<ref name=":4" /> with footage retained for thirty days before deletion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=11 Mar 2019 |title=How Flock Safety Eliminates Neighborhood Crime While Protecting Resident Privacy |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/how-flock-safety-protects-resident-privacy |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/tRLU8 |archive-date=20 April 2026 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |website=Flock Safety}}</ref> The company's network benefits from strong network effects. Investor Andreessen Horowitz has stated the system's power grows with adoption, as "digital evidence can be pooled across different law enforcement agencies," creating network effects that increase surveillance capabilities as more agencies join.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ulevitch
|first=David |last2=George |first2=David |title=Investing in Flock Safety |url=https://a16z.com/announcement/investing-in-flock-safety/ |website=Andreessen Horowitz |date=13 Jul 2021 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928171419/https://a16z.com/announcement/investing-in-flock-safety/ |archive-date=28 Sep 2023}}</ref> As cameras are deployed across more jurisdictions, participating agencies gain access to a broader shared data pool.

Flock initially focused on homeowner's associations — which still account for roughly 40% of its business — before expanding rapidly into law enforcement and enterprise sectors, illustrating a "land-and-expand" growth strategy.<ref name="Sacra" /> Major venture capital firms have invested heavily, signaling strong market confidence. In March 2025, a funding round of $275 million was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Green Oaks Capital, Bedrock Capital, and Tiger Global, among others, valuing the company at $7.5 billion.<ref name="FlockFunding" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Pavri |first=Rezwan D. |last2=Conklin |first2=Colin G. |title=Wilson Sonsini Advises Flock Safety on $275 Million Financing |url=https://www.wsgr.com/en/insights/wilson-sonsini-advises-flock-safety-on-dollar275-million-financing.html |website=Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati |date=14 Mar 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250315234904/https://www.wsgr.com/en/insights/wilson-sonsini-advises-flock-safety-on-dollar275-million-financing.html |archive-date=15 Mar 2025}}</ref> Major corporate clients include retailers like {{Wplink|Lowe's}} and {{Wplink|FedEx}}, mall operator {{Wplink|Simon Property Group}}, and healthcare provider {{Wplink|Kaiser Permanente}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brewster |first=Thomas |title=America's Biggest Mall Owner Is Sharing AI Surveillance Feeds Directly With Cops |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/05/06/simon-property-and-flock-safety-feed-ai-surveillance-feeds-to-the-cops/ |website=Forbes |date=6 May 2024 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260203012902/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/05/06/simon-property-and-flock-safety-feed-ai-surveillance-feeds-to-the-cops/ |archive-date=3 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Brewster |first=Thomas |title=FedEx's Secretive Police Force Is Helping Cops Build An AI Car Surveillance Network |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/06/19/fedex-police-help-cops-build-an-ai-car-surveillance-network/ |website=Forbes |date=19 Jun 2024 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260128023325/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/06/19/fedex-police-help-cops-build-an-ai-car-surveillance-network/ |archive-date=28 Jan 2026}}</ref>

Strategic acquisitions and infrastructure investment fuel the company's expansion. Following its acquisition of Aerodome in October 2024, Flock Safety is building a 100,000-square-foot U.S.A. manufacturing facility for drone production.<ref name=":1" />

==Incidents==
===The FBI is accused in pending lawsuit to use Flock data to "create a domestic terrorist" (February 2026)===
In a recent reporting by LegalEagle on Youtube https://youtu.be/ZRZoGc3Wdpo?t=1138 at timestamp 18:58, court documents are shown where law enforcement collects 30 days of movements from Flock cameras (after the fact) in efforts to "construct the appearance the person is a domestic terrorist". The release of this footage was denied to ensure people not know where the cameras are in order to avoid them. This was a part of the ICE operation "Midway Blitz".
===Wrongful package theft accusation in Bow Mar, Colorado (September 2025)===

===Denver contract and surveillance controversy (October 2025 ongoing)===

===Data sharing with federal immigration authorities (Ongoing)===
Federal immigration enforcement agencies systematically accessed Flock's license plate data through multiple methods despite state laws prohibiting such sharing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Koebler

===Paused federal pilots and systemic data sharing with federal agencies (August 2025)===
Flock Safety announced it was pausing all ongoing pilot programs with Department of Homeland Security agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Langley |first=Garrett |date=25 Aug 2025 |title=Ensuring Local Compliance |url=https://www.flocksafety.com/blog/ensuring-local-compliance |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/tdOCI |archive-date=25 April 2026 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |website=Flock Safety}}</ref> The company stated this pause was to "ensure local compliance" and admitted its previous public statements had "inadvertently provided inaccurate information" about the level of federal access to its network.<ref name=":3" />

This decision followed investigations revealing systemic data sharing with federal immigration authorities that potentially violated state laws in Washington, Illinois, and other states with sanctuary protections.<ref name=":0" /> A University of Washington Center for Human Rights report documented three methods of federal access:

*Front door access: At least eight Washington law enforcement agencies, including police departments in Yakima and Wenatchee, enabled direct data sharing with U.S. Border Patrol.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="wenatchee">{{Cite web |last=Gonzalez |first=Jordan |title=Flock Safety setting allowed U.S. Border Patrol access to Wenatchee Valley license plate data without police knowledge |url=https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/local/flock-safety-setting-allowed-u-s-border-patrol-access-to-wenatchee-valley-license-plate-data/article_8335941e-161c-594d-bc51-a56e0bd7251b.html |website=The Wenatchee World |date=27 Oct 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251103210114/https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/local/flock-safety-setting-allowed-u-s-border-patrol-access-to-wenatchee-valley-license-plate-data/article_8335941e-161c-594d-bc51-a56e0bd7251b.html |archive-date=3 Nov 2025}}</ref>

*Back door access: A default "National Lookup" setting allowed Border Patrol to access data from at least ten Washington agencies without explicit authorization. Police chiefs in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee stated they were unaware of this setting and disabled it upon discovery.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="wenatchee" />

*Side door searches: Law enforcement officers conducted searches on behalf of ICE, visible only when officers typed reasons like "ICE" or "illegal immigration" into search fields.<ref name=":0" /> A public interest law firm noted Flock's pause of direct federal access does little to prevent this workaround, as "federal law enforcement cannot directly access this trove of information; they can just ask other Flock customers to run searches or share log-in information."<ref name="ij">{{Cite web |last=King |first=Dan |title=Public Interest Law Firm Responds to Flock Safety Pausing Federal Access to License Plate Reader Cameras |url=https://ij.org/press-release/public-interest-law-firm-responds-to-flock-safety-pausing-federal-access-to-license-plate-reader-cameras/ |website=Institute for Justice |date=26 Aug 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250925231824/https://ij.org/press-release/public-interest-law-firm-responds-to-flock-safety-pausing-federal-access-to-license-plate-reader-cameras/ |archive-date=25 Sep 2025}}</ref>

===Consumer complaints about business practices===
Multiple independent user reviews on {{Wplink|Trustpilot}}, as well as reports from legal advocacy groups, detail a range of consumer complaints against Flock Safety. These issues span predatory billing practices, unreliable hardware, inadequate customer support, and concerns over the value and ethics of the service.

*Predatory billing and contract issues: Customers report aggressive auto-renewal practices. One review alleges the company sent termination notices to the incorrect party and then enforced an auto-renewed two-year contract for nearly $10,000, demanding payment because the customer did not provide a thirty-day termination notice.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fiala |first=Steven |title=Flock Safety reviewed by Steven Fiala on 1/8/2025 |url=https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/677ef12bc84c2a5269f7cb9c |website=Trustpilot |date=8 Jan 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108013844/https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/677ef12bc84c2a5269f7cb9c |archive-date=8 Jan 2026}}</ref> Another customer claimed the company would not offer a refund for cameras they found to be useless, describing the system as a "rip off."<ref name="TrustPilot RR">{{Cite web |last=Rodriguez |first=Ruben |title=Flock Safety reviewed by Ruben Rodriguez on 10/13/2023 |url=https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/65292d1cd90a6358742b453b |website=Trustpilot |date=13 Oct 2023 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108014407/https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/65292d1cd90a6358742b453b |archive-date=8 Jan 2026}}</ref> The Institute for Justice has raised concerns that Flock tries to "lock customers into its products."<ref name="ij" />

*Poor camera reliability and performance: Reviews frequently cite hardware failures and poor video quality. One neighborhood reported that a camera, costing $4,000 per year, was operational for only nine days before failing and had been offline for 25% of its total service time.<ref name="TrustPilot SE">{{Cite web |last=Elliott |first=Steve |title=Flock Safety reviewed by Steve Elliott on 6/20/2025 |url=https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/68553b4c0981a42b5f818398 |website=Trustpilot |date=20 Jun 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108020837/https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/68553b4c0981a42b5f818398 |archive-date=8 Jan 2026}}</ref> Another customer complained that the cameras are "not live" and lack night vision, concluding that a "$300 video camera system from Harbor Freight is 100% better."<ref name="TrustPilot RR" />

*Inadequate customer support: Numerous complaints have been made about poor customer service, particularly among smaller communities and organizations. One reviewer felt that the company is "focused on big city/county government contracts" and that "little guys are at the back of the line for support."<ref name="TrustPilot SE" /> The company's profile on TrustPilot indicates that it has not replied to negative reviews.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Flock Safety Reviews |url=https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flocksafety.com |website=TrustPilot |date= |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108022250/https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flocksafety.com |archive-date=8 Jan 2026 |quote=Hasn’t replied to negative reviews}}</ref>

*Ethical and legal concerns: Some criticisms extend beyond business practices to the product's societal impact. Major civil liberties organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have published analyses raising significant privacy and Fourth Amendment concerns about the technology.<ref name="ACLUStanley" /> The ACLU has also published analyses raising considerable privacy concerns about the technology.<ref name="ACLUStanley2" />

==Lawsuits==
===''Schmidt v. City of Norfolk'' (18 September 2025)===
A lawsuit in Norfolk, VA, revealed that the city's ALPR system has logged the location of a plaintiff's vehicle 526 times in 4 months.<ref name=":9" /> The second plaintiff had their vehicle's position logged 849 times in a similar time period. The ALPR system is provided by Flock to the Norfolk Police Department in a deal costing $2.2 million, in return for Flock providing services through to the end of 2027. The camera installation began in 2023 and, at present, there are 176 cameras around the city. The lawsuit is requesting that the plaintiff's data be deleted and the cameras be turned off, arguing that these actions constitute an infringement of the Fourth Amendment and a warrant-less search. Flock counters this assertion by claiming that "LPRs do not constitute a warrant-less search because they take point-in-time photos of cars in public and cannot continuously track the movements of any individual." This legal position was supported by a ruling from the Virginia Court of Appeals in October 2025, which reversed a lower court and found that warrant-less use of Flock's system does not violate the Fourth Amendment.<ref name=":10" />

===''United States v. Martin'' (11 October 2024)===
In ''United States v. Martin'' (E.D. Va.), the district court denied a motion to suppress evidence obtained via an ALPR network, issuing a memorandum opinion on 11 October 2024. The court concluded that the images at issue were point-in-time photographs of vehicles on public roads and therefore did not establish a reasonable expectation of privacy for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Payne |first=Robert E. |title=MEMORANDUM OPINION, United States v. Martin, No. 3:23-cr-150 (E.D. Va. Oct. 11, 2024) |url=https://case-law.vlex.com/vid/united-states-v-martin-1056100094 |url-access=limited |website=vLex |date=11 Oct 2024 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260108024629/https://case-law.vlex.com/vid/united-states-v-martin-1056100094 |archive-date=8 Jan 2026}}</ref> 

Legal commentators have treated the ruling as a persuasive decision supporting warrant-less searches of ALPR/Flock databases in that jurisdiction; however, it remains a district-court decision and not binding precedent outside the Eastern District of Virginia. Courts in other jurisdictions have reached different conclusions on the warrant requirements for ALPR searches.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grosdidier |first=Pierre |title=Authorities can search Flock databases without a warrant |url=https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=articles&Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=67513 |website=Texas Bar Journal |date=Apr 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250418012511/https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=articles&Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=67513 |archive-date=18 Apr 2025}}</ref>

===Public records lawsuits in Washington (2025)===
Multiple public-records disputes over Flock camera data have led to litigation in Washington. In one high-profile example, the cities of Sedro-Woolley and Stanwood filed a declaratory-judgment action in Skagit County (Case No. 25-2-00717-29), asking a court to declare that images and data stored in Flock's AWS cloud are not "public records" under the Washington Public Records Act (PRA) unless and until a public agency accesses and downloads them.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guildner |first=Emily |title=City of Sedro-Woolley and City of Stanwood v. Jose Rodriguez — Complaint for Declaratory Judgment |url=https://www.scribd.com/document/901263718/City-of-Sedro-Woolley-v-Jose-Rodriguez-Complaint-for-Declaratory-Judgement |website=Scribd |date=16 Jul 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260222221830/https://www.scribd.com/document/901263718/City-of-Sedro-Woolley-v-Jose-Rodriguez-Complaint-for-Declaratory-Judgement |archive-date=22 Feb 2026}}</ref> The dispute became contested in multiple forums after the requester filed his own suit and responsive filings, alleging that the cities had violated the PRA. While the litigation proceeds, some municipalities have paused or disabled Flock camera deployments pending a judicial ruling on whether the raw images and data must be released as public records.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Peterson |first=Jenna |title=Stanwood pauses Flock cameras amid public records lawsuits |url=https://www.heraldnet.com/news/stanwood-pauses-flock-cameras-amid-public-records-lawsuits/ |website=HeraldNet |date=10 Sep 2025 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250911213648/https://www.heraldnet.com/news/stanwood-pauses-flock-cameras-amid-public-records-lawsuits/ |archive-date=11 Sep 2025}}</ref>

===Norfolk Circuit Court warrant requirement (2024-2025)===
In June 2024, a Norfolk Circuit Court judge granted a defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained from the city's Flock ALPR system, ruling that, in that case, warrant-less access to the system implicated the Fourth Amendment.<ref>{{Cite web |last=King |first=Katie |title=Norfolk judge rejects police Flock camera evidence without warrant |url=https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/06/15/one-nation-under-watch-norfolk-judge-rejects-police-flock-camera-evidence-without-warrant/ |website=The Virginian-Pilot |date=15 Jun 2024 |access-date=7 Jan 2026 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240702005515/https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/06/15/one-nation-under-watch-norfolk-judge-rejects-police-flock-camera-evidence-without-warrant/ |archive-date=2 Jul 2024}}</ref>

That trial-court ruling was later reversed by the Virginia Court of Appeals in ''Commonwealth v. Church'' in Oct 2025, which concluded the circuit court erred and held that the ALPR images at issue were point-in-time photographs of vehicles in public and therefore did not require a search warrant; the appellate court reversed the suppression and remanded for further proceedings.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Beales |first=Randolph A. |title=Commonwealth v.

===Editor's Note!===
It has come to the attention of the wiki from an expert researcher that Disc Rot is an inaccurate term for what is covered in this article. Unfortunately, due to ongoing research still occurring, a proper generalized term is not yet available, and updates to this article is recommended to be delayed until the researcher's paper releases. Contact JamesTDG via the CRWdiscord for details.

[[wikipedia:Disc_rot|Disc rot]] is an event which happens when the materials that compose a compact disc (CD) or equivalent optical storage medium degrade. Often, disc rot occurs whenever companies are neglectful with how their discs are manufactured. Disc rot's existence has been aware of by manufacturers as early as 1988<ref>{{Cite web |last=Takiff |first=Jonathan |title=Compact Discs Still Being Perfected |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-cd-corrosion/8722352/ |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=Newspapers.com |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251007083915/https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-cd-corrosion/8722352/ |archive-date=7 Oct 2025}}</ref> and continues to prevail to this day.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Ernie |date=6 Feb 2017 |title=The Hidden Phenomenon That Could Ruin Your Old Discs |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-hidden-phenomenon-that-could-ruin-your-old-discs/ |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=Vice |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260113195153/https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-hidden-phenomenon-that-could-ruin-your-old-discs/ |archive-date=13 Jan 2026}}</ref>

Disc rot is not directly intentional from manufacturers, and is considered a case of neglect from manufacturers by most communities. Despite this, there are some formats, such as DVD-D, which are intentionally manufactured for the [[Planned obsolescence|purpose of degradation]], which exhibit traits that can be related to disc rot.
==How it occurs==
Disc rot occurs in various formats, and has various causes depending on how it was manufactured and stored. This is not an exhaustive list of causes as new methods for the cause of disc rot continue to be found.

===Storage/transit-specific===

====Oxidation====
Often seen on aluminum-based discs, if they are exposed to the atmosphere for a prolonged period of time, the disc can begin to rot. This can additionally happen despite the media being factory-sealed.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Lampson |first=L. David |date=Sep 1995 |title=CD Bronzing |url=http://www.classical.net/music/guide/society/krs/excerpt3.php |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=Classical.net |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251114025837/http://www.classical.net/music/guide/society/krs/excerpt3.php |archive-date=14 Nov 2025}}</ref> Lacquer or plastic layers are often used to block oxidation, but other factors some of which are listed here can damage this protective layer.

====Humidity====
Water is known to carry ions that can eat away at both protective layers and aluminum, and humid environments can foster disc rot,<ref name=":1" /> especially if the location a disc was manufactured at is humid, which can negate any consumer's attempts to slow down or halt any form of rot. Humid environments are also hotbeds for mold, which protective layers and even the reflective layer can act as a substrate for spores to grow into colonies.

====Heat====
Heat has the capability to distort protective plastic layers, or melt layers of lacquer on discs. Any damage to the protective layer risks exposure to the elements.

====Light====
More specifically ultraviolet (UV) light can both impart heat and also degrade the reflective layer on a disc.

===Manufacturer-specific===

====Chemicals====
Discs are made up of various chemicals meant to protect it, however, some chemicals can be affected by their environment and degrade the disc. An example of this was when discs manufactured by Phillip's were distributed in paper sleeves which had trace elements of sulfur, which reacted with the protective layer on the disc and caused bronzing to occur.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bronzing CD's |url=https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/pages/bronzed.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160801032047/https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/pages/bronzed.asp |archive-date=1 Aug 2016 |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=Hyperion}}</ref>

==Appearance==
The appearance of disc rot comes in different formats, such as:

===Pinholes===
Small holes on the disc that can sacrifice the integrity of the data on the disc,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bishop |first=Tom |date=27 Aug 2004 |title=Is music safe on compact disc? |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3940669.stm |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=BBC |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250709143620/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3940669.stm |archive-date=9 Jul 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Ernie |date=2 Feb 2017 |title=When Discs Die |url=https://tedium.co/2017/02/02/disc-rot-phenomenon/ |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=Tedium. |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251114193359/https://tedium.co/2017/02/02/disc-rot-phenomenon/ |archive-date=14 Nov 2025}}</ref> these can be made more visible if you shine a strong light on your disc.

===Bronzing===
Via [[wikipedia:Compact_disc_bronzing|Wikipedia]]:<blockquote>Affected discs show an uneven brownish discoloring that usually starts at the edge of the disc and slowly works its way toward the center. The top or label layer is affected before the bottom layer. The disc becomes progressively darker over time; tracks at the end of the disc (near the outer edge) show an increasing number of disc-read errors before becoming unplayable.</blockquote>

===Distorted audio===
Warped or other forms of distortion can be used as a method to track disc rot, however this can only be tracked within discs intended for playing audio, such as audiobooks or music discs.

==Why it is a problem==
'''Preservation:''' Optical media is currently the most common medium that media is physically distributed on. When the media it is for goes out of print and additionally is no-longer digitally distributed, these discs are the only way for the public to access this media. Physical discs are also how most digital media is accessed by public libraries, which many consumers continue to rely upon.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=16 Apr 2010 |title=An important note to Video Game Sellers and Buyers |url=https://www.rfgeneration.com/news/Disc-Rot/An-important-note-to-Video-Game-Sellers-and-Buyers-1337.php |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=RF Generation |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251231134235/https://www.rfgeneration.com/news/Disc-Rot/An-important-note-to-Video-Game-Sellers-and-Buyers-1337.php |archive-date=31 Dec 2025}}</ref><ref name=":0" />

'''Accessibility:''' Many consumers purchase physical media with the intent that they can have prolonged access to the content that they paid for. If the disc they buy happens to have been poorly-manufactured, consumers may have a limited and ambiguous time before they cannot consume the media they purchased anymore.

'''Assurance:''' Due to how inconsistent disc rot functions, a consumer may unwittingly purchase media, either initially or more commonly 2nd-hand, and risk the media they purchased being unable to be run.
==Major incidents==

Consumers have reported that the discs that they purchased for their Wii U consoles are experiencing rot,<ref>{{Cite web |date=7 May 2020 |title=Are all Wii U physical discs doomed? |url=https://forums.atariage.com/topic/306522-are-all-wii-u-physical-discs-doomed/ |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=AtariAge |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251007083956/https://forums.atariage.com/topic/306522-are-all-wii-u-physical-discs-doomed/ |archive-date=7 Oct 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=@Camgames |date=26 Jan 2025 |title=The Wii U Has a Massive Problem |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlVrhF7DYbg |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=[[YouTube]] |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=MlVrhF7DYbg |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref> and in some scenarios, degrading on a large scale in individual collections.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All these games in my collection are dead from disc rot |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/15t0i84/all_these_games_in_my_collection_are_dead_from/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260520152926/https://old.reddit.com/r/wiiu/comments/15t0i84/all_these_games_in_my_collection_are_dead_from/ |archive-date=20 May 2026 |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=[[Reddit]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=14 Mar 2023 |title=Wii U discs have a high failure rate? |url=https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-discs-have-a-high-failure-rate.628470/ |url-status=live |access-date=23 Mar 2025 |website=GBATEMP |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250323030443/https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-discs-have-a-high-failure-rate.628470/ |archive-date=23 Mar 2025}}</ref> Often, the degradation is described as pinholes scattered across the disc.

===Other game consoles===
Consumers have reported disc rot in games of other various disc-based game consoles, such as Sega CD, PC Engine CD, Turbo CD, CDi, 3DO, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast. This appears to be much less common in Sony-based consoles like the Playstation, but among Sega and NEC, it is common. <ref name=":2" />

Cloud (service)

2026-05-20T15:25:42Z

Tempo123: /* References */ Archive

In consumer technology, a '''cloud service''' typically refers to a data processing service provided by a service provider (often product manufacturer), often for a periodic fee, without control over or even information about what infrastructure provides that service. Typical examples of such services include data storage, off-device data processing, easy access to an internet-connected device from anywhere with an internet connection and synchronization between devices.

A defining feature of a cloud service is absence of management of the infrastructure that processes the data — presented in marketing as a plus for the sake of convenience, but restricting choices consumers may want to make themselves.

==Origin of the term==
The term "cloud services" borrows from a term [[wikipedia:Cloud_computing|cloud computing]], which is vague to the point that FSF recommends avoiding it,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-12-17 |title=Words to Avoid (or Use with Care) Because They Are Loaded or Confusing § “Cloud Computing” |url=https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#CloudComputing |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250310165359/https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid#CloudComputing |archive-date=2025-03-10 |access-date=2026-03-24 |website=GNU Project - Free Software Foundation}}</ref> and in context of consumer technology the term inherits its vagueness. A defining feature of a cloud service is absence of management of the infrastructure that processes the data. It's true in cloud computing as well, but referring to the perspective of a service provider and a party that supplies them with computing infrastructure, e. g. servers, disk drives and network hardware.

Notably, a "cloud service" in consumer marketing may refer to a data processing service provided by the manufacturer that is ''not'' itself based on cloud computing from the service provider's perspective. A service provider might be in complete physical possession of the infrastructure involved in a service, hence it not being "cloud" for the provider, but manufacturer might still advertise the service as "cloud service" to consumers if the provider manages it for them without offering alternatives or prominently disclosing its existence.

==How it works==
When features of a product rely on data processing outside of consumers' devices, there has to be another device responsible for these functions.

Cloud services function on devices provided by a service provider, with their specifics or even existence hidden from the user behind user interfaces in an effort to simplify user experience.

One adage is often quoted in relation to cloud services: "There is no cloud, it's just somebody else's computer"<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Vorobyov |first=Sergei |date=2023-05-25 |title=There is no cloud it’s just someone else’s computer |url=https://www.solita.fi/blogs/there-is-no-cloud-its-just-someone-elses-computer/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230921154351/https://www.solita.fi/web/20230921154351/https://www.solita.fi/blogs/there-is-no-cloud-its-just-someone-elses-computer/ |archive-date=2023-09-21 |website=Solita}}</ref>. This means that the failure of a device you know nothing about can result in your device/service not working.

==Why it is a problem==

===Economic non-sustainability===
Operating a cloud service requires ongoing expenses for the entire duration for which that service is provided. Marketing professionals realize that requiring an ongoing expense from the user for a given product reflects negatively on its perception, and sometimes try to hide this by doing any of the following:

*Offering additional features or service capacity for an additional fee
*Including a limited amount of service with the product purchase
*Withholding the information about cloud services being involved in some of the product's functionality and potentially introducing a subscription fee post-purchase for the product to function fully or at all
**This often happens after the company that previously offered a cloud service is acquired by another company that isn't as concerned with remaining in good standing with customers of the acquired company

In cases where a product does not provide the ability to choose a service it uses, shutdown of the pre-configured cloud service may cause [[discontinuation bricking]] or loss of product features.

===Service concentration within cloud computing companies===
Because cloud computing providers, which cloud services are often built upon, have to be '''large''' in order to offer competitive advantages to their customers (as pertains to this article, particularly product manufacturers), there are very few cloud computing providers in existence. Thus, every one of them operates the infrastructure under a large number of cloud services.

Some of the most famous cloud providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud.

While they take great care to ensure their smooth operation, they sometimes fail and cause widespread service disruptions because of the great number of companies relying on their services.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-21 |title=Amazon says AWS cloud service back to normal after outage disrupts businesses worldwide |url=https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/amazons-cloud-unit-reports-outage-several-websites-down-2025-10-20/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251130041310/https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/amazons-cloud-unit-reports-outage-several-websites-down-2025-10-20/ |archive-date=30 Nov 2025|website=Reuters}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-09 |title=Kubernetes kicks down Azure Front Door |url=https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/09/kubernetes_azure_outage/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251230215743/https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/09/kubernetes_azure_outage/ |archive-date=30 Dec 2025|website=The Register}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-24 |title=Multiple GCP services impacted in the europe-west3-c zone |url=https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/e3yQSE1ysCGjCVEn2q1h |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241028011248/https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/e3yQSE1ysCGjCVEn2q1h |archive-date=2024-10-28 |website=Google Cloud Service Health}}</ref>

===Ineffective access controls===
A service provider requires some level of access to the data it processes. Unless access to the service is engineered on consumer's side to minimize such access (e. g. end-to-end encryption), all of the processed data is visible to the service provider<ref name=":0" />, where it can be leaked as a result of a cybersecurity incident or used for purposes to which consumers did not consent (such as included in machine learning datasets{{Citation needed}} or sold to advertising companies{{Citation needed}}).

Providers may offer some access controls for the data they possess and process, but most of the time they are also the ones enforcing them, which renders them ineffective for restricting providers' access due to a conflict of interest. There may be legally binding promises of effectiveness of these controls in their [[terms of service]], but violations of policies established through these controls are difficult to detect and legal enforcement is difficult in general.

===Less legal protection===
In the United States, federal limits on gathering evidence mean you are not usually required to supply a password to unlock a device that you have, however others may be compelled to release your data.

===Loss of control===
Service company can deprive you of your data/services. For example if you lose login credentials, as might happen when a person dies, or your account is stolen, or the service provider terminates the account. (see for example, [[Microsoft account]], [[Google account]]).

===(Often) Lack of competition===
{{Main|Forced cloud}}
Cloud services bundled with products often don't come with the ability to change providers for those services. This puts the product into a direct dependency from the service providers chosen by the manufacturer (often themselves), which:

*artificially prevents demand for the same service from other providers, preventing the emergence of competitive markets in respective market niches, giving financial advantage to chosen providers for non-competitive reasons, as well as preventing users from switching from providers they don't trust, e. g. after security incidents
*threatens [[Right to own|ownership over the product]], as terms of service can be altered unilaterally through technical means, and prevention of this through legal means is difficult or impossible
*limits the use of the product in unusual environments which manufacturer-chosen providers have no willingness or capacity to support, since they provide service for ''all'' users of the product, and therefore prioritize features that benefit wider circles of users, effectively reducing product capabilities. A particularly frequent example of this is functioning of a product with no internet access, which, in addition to being desirable to some users running private networks where access to the internet is restricted or unavailable, is a safeguard against accidents on service provider's side, such as when internet-enabled bed accessories by [[Eight Sleep]] were rendered non-adjustable due to an outage at Amazon Web Services<ref>{{Cite web |last=Castro-Sloboda |first=Giselle |date=2025-10-22 |title=Owners of Luxury Smart Beds Literally Lost Sleep Due to AWS Outage |url=https://www.cnet.com/health/sleep/owners-of-luxury-smart-beds-literally-lost-sleep-due-to-aws-outage/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251022212216/https://www.cnet.com/health/sleep/owners-of-luxury-smart-beds-literally-lost-sleep-due-to-aws-outage/ |archive-date=22 Oct 2025 |website=CNET}}</ref> (also showcasing [[Cloud (service)#Service concentration within cloud computing companies|the problem of service concentration]])

==Alternatives==

===Generic protocols===
A lot of cloud services use needlessly specialized protocols, which allows service providers to maintain monopolies over their respective niches. Use of more generic protocols provides more choice to consumers, incentivizes competition between service providers and creates business opportunities for new service providers to emerge.

For example, the impact of [[Amazon PhotosPlus discontinuation]] would be minimal if it were to allow connection to generic file storage rather than relying on Amazon's specialized photo storage service.

===Self-hosting===
{{Main|Self-hosting}}
Some cloud services can be adequately replaced with self-hosted alternatives, where consumers run compatible software on hardware they control.

==Examples==
*File synchronization services like [[wikipedia:Dropbox|Dropbox]], [[wikipedia:Google_drive|Google Drive]], [[OneDrive]], [[iCloud]], [[Mega.io cloud storage service|Mega]].
*Remote device access, as in [[Wyze|Wyze cameras]] and [[Bosch Cloud Dishwasher Incident|select Bosch dishwashers]].
*[[Software as a service]] online applications, like Google Workspace, [[Microsoft Office 365]], [[Adobe creative cloud]], [[Games as a service]].
*AI compute (inference) servers which power AI chatbots and agents. (for example, [[Google Gemini]], [[ChatGPT]], [[Microsoft Copilot]]).

Serif, a UK based software development company, released the Affinity V2 Universal License in 2022 for their flagship brand Affinity, a professional photo editing, vector illustration and page design software. The cross-platform Universal License bundled Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Publisher 2. Instead of subscription model payments, user access to the Affinity V2 suite could be purchased and installed and activated through Serif and Serif user accounts for a one-time payment.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |date=2024-03-25 |title=Canva Acquires Design Platform Affinity to Bring Professional Design Tools to Every Organization |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240325965656/en/Canva-Acquires-Design-Platform-Affinity-to-Bring-Professional-Design-Tools-to-Every-Organization |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=BusinessWire |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260216022908/https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240325965656/en/Canva-Acquires-Design-Platform-Affinity-to-Bring-Professional-Design-Tools-to-Every-Organization |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-09 |title=Press Release - Affinity Version 2 sets new standards in creative software |url=https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-v2-sets-new-standards-in-creative-software/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221109150704/https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-v2-sets-new-standards-in-creative-software/ |archive-date=2022-11-09 |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=Affinity Serif}}</ref>

In 2024, [[Canva]], a drag and drop graphic design template platform, acquired Affinity's parent company, Serif, as part of a series of global serial acquisitions in the stock photo, graphics, and artificial intelligence sectors.<ref name=":12">{{Cite web |date=2025-09-06 |title=Acquisitions by Canva - List of Canva's Acquisitions |url=https://tracxn.com/d/acquisitions/acquisitions-by-canva/__LHKOZhxQIkd1nKd00xe8ZiSIZ1WlxGLsiY4nuztOWOY#list-of-acquisitions |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=Tracxn |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260111185309/https://tracxn.com/d/acquisitions/acquisitions-by-canva/__LHKOZhxQIkd1nKd00xe8ZiSIZ1WlxGLsiY4nuztOWOY |archive-date=11 Jan 2026}}</ref> In the same year that Serif/Affinity was acquired, Canva also acquired AI image and art generation platform Leonardo AI.<ref name=":12" /> After the acquisition, Affinity and Canva created a fair pricing pledge in which "perpetual license will always be offered" to adopt Affinity users "to scale their workflows using Canva as a platform to share and collaborate on their Affinity assets." The second part of the pledge stated, "Affinity is here to stay."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-27 |title=The Affinity and Canva Pledge |url=https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-and-canva-pledge/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251002083749/https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/press/newsroom/affinity-and-canva-pledge/ |archive-date=2025-10-02 |access-date=2025-11-03 |website=Affinity/Serif Press Release}}</ref>

==Incident==
At the start of October 2025 (approximately October 2nd based on Serif website archives<ref>{{Cite web |title=Creative Freedom Is Coming |url=https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251002034439/https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ |archive-date=2025-10-02}}</ref>), the store page offering the V2 suite of Affinity applications was taken down, removing user's ability to purchase a new license to the V2 software; the [https://web.archive.org/web/20251002041803/https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ main page (archived here)] displayed the text, "Creative Freedom Is Coming," and displaying the date, October 30th. On October 30th, the main Serif page announced that new Affinity Studio software arrived, encouraging viewers to visit the new [https://www.affinity.studio/ Affinity.Studio website] where users can download Affinity Studio, an application that is said to combine all three older Affinity applications into one and also adds Canva-backed features into the software.

As soon as October 3rd, 2025, there was discussion and speculation on a Serif forum discussing the future of Affinity,<ref name=":0" /> and the original post reflects many aspects that happened, including that Affinity's software became free, that the new version of Affinity would be separated from the older versions, and that AI would be part of the new software. The post included concern that the forum may eventually be discontinued, and as of November 2nd, 2025, the forums are set to "read only." A pinned notice indicates that the forums went to read-only mode on October 6th, 2025, but Patrick Conner, the individual who wrote the read-me linked in the notice, indicated that the forums would still remain available, just without the ability to create new posts.

===Caveats===
The new Affinity Studio application is available free of charge to download, however there are concerns about privacy.

*First, users of Affinity Studio are required [https://www.canva.com/product-suite-integration/authn/affinity?redirect_uri=https://www.affinity.studio%2Fen%2Fdownload&source=download_login_redirect&locale=en sign into Canva's website] to download the new Affinity Studio application, linking it to either a Google, Facebook, or email account. Users must agree to both [https://www.canva.com/policies/terms-of-use/ Canva's Terms of Use] (last updated October 30th, 2025) and the [https://www.canva.com/policies/affinity-additional-terms/ Affinity Additional Terms]; the dialog also prompts users to read the [https://www.canva.com/policies/privacy-policy/ Canva Privacy Policy] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260222212655/https://www.canva.com/policies/privacy-policy/ Archived]). By default, user data, (activity, content and media uploads) is being collected in order to train their algorithms, models and AI products and services. Users are able to opt out of these conditions. The ''Affinity Terms'' page also includes the following passage: <blockquote>If your Agreement allows multiple Users within your team to access the Affinity Software, then: […] Canva or its authorized agent will be entitled to enter onto your premises with reasonable notice to audit your use of the Affinity Software. This provision will survive termination of this License.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-30 |title=Affinity Terms |url=https://www.canva.com/policies/affinity-additional-terms/ |access-date=2025-11-03 |website=Canva |url-status=live |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260131204952/https://www.canva.com/policies/affinity-additional-terms/ |archive-date=31 Jan 2026}}</ref></blockquote>
*Second, while most of the main features previously included in Serif's application appear to be present, features already available through Canva have been added to the Studio app, and these Canva AI-powered features require a subscription to use them.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Colbow |first=Brad |date=2025-10-30 |title=This?

*It's not clear what the future holds in regards to the Affinity Studio software, and whether existing features may get moved behind a paywall among other concerns.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Blake |first=Alex |date=2025-10-31 |title=Affinity says its new Adobe-rivaling creative app is ‘free forever’ – here’s how that really works |url=https://www.techradar.com/computing/affinity-says-its-new-adobe-rivaling-creative-app-is-free-forever-heres-how-that-really-works |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251103054755/https://www.techradar.com/computing/affinity-says-its-new-adobe-rivaling-creative-app-is-free-forever-heres-how-that-really-works |archive-date=2025-11-03 |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=techradar}}</ref>

===Existing Serif/Affinity V2 users can still download install files and view their license info.===
As of November 2nd, 2025, users of the previous versions of Affinity software including V2 can still sign in via the [https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/v2/ Serif website] to view license info and downloads, including install files on both Windows and MacOS systems. On iPad, the V2 Affinity applications can be downloaded from the App Store free of charge.
==Consumer response==

Within days after (October 2nd, when) the ability to purchase V2 of the Affinity Applications was shut down, many showed concern and even fear that Affinity may become subscription-based, change the terms of the sale, or otherwise change things in ways undesirable to Affinity software users.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-04 |title=What is Going on with Affinity on Oct 30th? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qcHmHltkuk |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=YouTube / ben designs |url-status=live |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=_qcHmHltkuk |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-10-02 |title=What's happening with Affinity? Subscription Coming? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qedkKR-yhR8 |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=YouTube / Design Method |url-status=live |archive-url=https://preservetube.com/watch?v=qedkKR-yhR8 |archive-date=16 Feb 2026}}</ref><ref name=":2" /> While the software didn't become entirely subscription-based, some newly added features are locked behind a subscription paywall including Canva-backed, AI-powered features.<ref name=":1" /> At this point in time as of November 2nd, 2025, it doesn't appear that previous agreements with the older software have changed, but users moving to Affinity Studio or new users starting to use Affinity Studio (Canva's new version of Affinity) will have to agree to new terms of service when creating or signing into a Canva account which includes agreeing to an arbitration clause.

There is still public concern over the longevity of the "free" software and whether existing features may one day get locked behind a paywall. The company claims that the app is free forever; in a social media post, Affinity says that there isn't a catch, that user data isn't being sold, that user creativity isn't being monetized, and that data isn't being used to train AI models.<ref name=":2" /> However, [https://www.canva.com/policies/privacy-policy/ Canva's Privacy Policy] ([http://web.archive.org/web/20260222212655/https://www.canva.com/policies/privacy-policy/ Archived]) indicates that information collected about their users is used for data analytics, service improvement (including analytics and machine learning), and for advertising purposes in addition to other purposes often included in a Privacy Policy.

There's also concern as to whether the older versions of Affinity that provided a perpetual license may some day be revoked.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2025-10-03 |title=Revealing the future of Affinity |url=https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/235901-revealing-the-future-of-affinity/ |access-date=2025-11-02 |website=Serif / Affinity Forums |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20251103042619/https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F235901-revealing-the-future-of-affinity%2F |archive-date=3 Nov 2025}}</ref> The EULA for the V2 Affinity applications indicate that Serif or Serif Licensors could suspend remove, modify, disable, or impose limits on access to Serif Software without notice or liability to the user, further increasing concern over if and when V2 or other Affinity Software may eventually be un-installable or otherwise rendered unusable for existing users.
