==Only incident pages suggested here?== | |||
I'm not sure if there is a policy page I missed here, but I'm having some confusion regarding this page. It seems to only contain incident pages, despite this wiki also containing products, organizations, themes, etc. (according to [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Article_types]]), and this page being seemingly labeled as a general article suggestion page, not just for incidents. Could we use this page suggest more than just incidents, or is there another page for suggesting the other types of articles?

:Hi there, the purpose of this page is to list all types of article suggestions. If you don’t want to start a company page even just a little bit, you can add a heading here for that for companies/organizations and add the name of the organization and why it meets the standards to be included here. If you have any issues, reply back to this and me or another staff member will help you get that added.

==AllTrails sneakily revoked lifetime licenses and forced subscription on users== | |||
As per title. [https://www.alltrails.com AllTrails] at some point AllTrails was offering lifetime subscriptions that were discontinued in 2019 (see Business Response [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints here]). | |||
They have also had shady marketing practices whereby users believed they were buying perpetual licenses but in reality the T&C had in its small print that these licenses were for a 3-year-plan (again, see earlier comments [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints here] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/10r64u1/lifetime_subscription/ here] too). | |||
While this probably doesn't count as "evidence", I know a person who bought one of such lifetime licenses and after a few years a few devices later, they reinstalled AllTails only to find out that their license magically disappeared. They contacted their customer service who denied restoring the lifetime license at all despite all personal details of purchaser had been provided. AllTrails solicited a proof of transaction which the buyer couldn't find due to the time that lapsed. Either way, Reddit reports suggest that the best case-scenario would be offering a 3-year-plan (see comments [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/10r64u1/lifetime_subscription/ here]). | |||
This is a really shady company that has misled and violated consumer rights. It deserves a page to remind the public of its dark past of revoking lifetime licenses, shady selling practices, and forcing a subscription model. | |||

Google Password Manager Overrides Third-Party Autofill on Android
[edit source](adding this here since I cannot edit the page. Happened to me personally and I have found evidence of it happening to more people)
Using third-party autofill (Bitwarden, 1Password) stopped working in Google Chrome for Android. Google Pass Manager is softly imposed for a more fluent user experience. Even deleting all the passwords and disabling Google Autofill does not work.

AllTrails sneakily revoked lifetime licenses and forced subscription on users
[edit source]As per title. AllTrails at some point AllTrails was offering lifetime subscriptions that were discontinued in 2019 (see Business Response here).
They have also had shady marketing practices whereby users believed they were buying perpetual licenses but in reality the T&C had in its small print that these licenses were for a 3-year-plan (again, see earlier comments here and here too).
While this probably doesn't count as "evidence", I know a person who bought one of such lifetime licenses and after a few years a few devices later, they reinstalled AllTails only to find out that their license magically disappeared. They contacted their customer service who denied restoring the lifetime license at all despite all personal details of purchaser had been provided. AllTrails solicited a proof of transaction which the buyer couldn't find due to the time that lapsed. Either way, Reddit reports suggest that the best case-scenario would be offering a 3-year-plan (see comments here).
This is a really shady company that has misled and violated consumer rights. It deserves a page to remind the public of its dark past of revoking lifetime licenses, shady selling practices, and forcing a subscription model.
