:This probably depends on the level of coverage. have there been any news articles (local or otherwise) which are complaining about this? Forcing the customer to use unneccesarily invasive software to access a service is something which definitely fits within the wiki's scope, and anything which is happening across a whole ISP would be large-scale enough, but the final thing an article needs is good sources [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 08:27, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

:I'm noticing a double standard of "pc app dependence" being ok and "phone app" dependency being less than ok. I believe that mobile devices should be equally capable as desktop devices, especially when you put windows and android tablets side by side.

:There are both cases of "companion software"<sup>1</sup> getting obsolete on their respective platform for one reason or another. Despite outnumbering desktop devices, I noted : shorter device lifespan, faster software obsolescence cycle (think [https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/256364/app-not-installed-as-app-isnt-compatible-with-your-phone-when-installing-apks android 14]), difficulty of support on different hardware, exposure to phenomenal amounts of user data, (not getting treated seriously?).

:Over-reliance on companion software for product operation or basic features access is present on both desktop and mobile.

:<sup>1</sup>Companion software - gives convenient access or expands features of a hardware or software product. Examples include Microtik WinBox, Eero, etc...

:p.s. I'm not aware of any existing term describing something you'd download to use something, but "companion software" seems alright. Actually now that I think about it, drivers and libraries are a kind of companion software too. [[User:Yappermaster69|Yappermaster69]] ([[User talk:Yappermaster69|talk]]) 18:55, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

==Suggestion: Implementing a /robots.txt page==

[[wikipedia:Robots.txt|Robots.txt]] is a page that's used by web crawlers to set rules, like disallow pages or crawl delay. I just noticed that this [https://consumerrights.wiki/robots.txt page] is missing. Maybe duckduckgo's crawler will finally index this wiki.
