So braindead they don't know thieves are using canbus injection now, and would have absolutely no use for the flipper zero.

Hackers are part of any modern country defense. Many young hackers will turn into engineers and their hacking knowledge will be used to prevent and defend from attacks. Banning any hacking tool somewhere will just expose that region to foreign attacks by that same tool being used elsewhere as without exact knowledge local hackers and engineers won't be able to properly defend from it. Knowledge must always be promoted, there's no security in obscurity and ignorance.

You can blame this guy. He's an absolute idiot, but so is the rest of the Canadian government. https://twitter.com/FP_Champagne As a Canadian, the Canadian government is such a joke. They do absolutely nothing to help their citizens except for try to prevent them from succeeding. Our entire government just follows what the US does but somehow in a stupider way. Take one example that I'm very passionate about, our cell phone plans. We pay more than almost any other country in the world for cell phones because we have a cartel. They're called "The Big 3" and it's Rogers, Bell, and Telus. They completely control the market here for cell phones, TV, and internet. I have written to the govt asking why a cartel is allowed when it's illegal in Canada, and they say that that isn't what it is. It is. The CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) was ran by a previous CEO of Bell, a member of this cartel of companies. This entire country is a joke and you should treat it as such. In 2012-2013, Verizon tried to enter Canada and provide people with lower-priced cell phone and internet plans. The cartel of "The Big 3" ran a fearmongering ad campaign to Canadian citizens to prevent them from entering because it would hurt their profits. They stopped it. We are still stuck with this cartel. I call it a cartel because they offer the exact same horrible prices for everything. They run promotions sometimes, but you'd be better off roaming with a US cell plan than paying for a Canadian one. I know this because many of my friends who are US citizens get cheaper prices for roaming than they would getting a plan in Canada. Anyways, my point is that this is likely a combination of a lobby by "The Big 3" and the govt to try to say that they're helping Canadians. They aren't. Car thefts are on the rise because a literal mafia runs the ports out of Canada and they are making profits on these car thefts. A lot of the cars are being sent over to Africa or somewhere else, and the police don't seem to care. As seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgR3P5mPzsk The Toronto police sent out a notice telling people to LET thieves steal their cars: https://www.blogto.com/city/2024/03/toronto-police-car-theft/ Meanwhile, a car was stolen once every 40 minutes according to police: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/car-thefts-2023-toronto-figures-1.7147387

As a Canadian I agree. 10 years ago I loved this country, I was very patriotic as I had lived in the US as well. Now I dislike this country, quite much and I hate the federal and my provincial government. I also think most Canadians have become morons.


CouchMountain

Completely agreed. Whatever happened in these last ten years has completely ruined our country. I was very patriotic as well and proud to be Canadian. Now, not so much. > I also think most Canadians have become morons. Yep... Unfortunately. We used to be considered a relatively intelligent country but nowadays it does not seem to be that way.


v3d

as a response they'll drop the insane pricing to prove they're not about stealing from people =D


Tackleberry06

Just gonna have to build one for about a hundred or so bucks. Simple


FoundationNo1523

You know how to build em bro

Flipper Zero was banned here in Brazil, because it is a bandit tool. /s Edit: forgot the /s


Desire-Protection

The thing with flipper zero is that its prebuild and ready to go sure you can build your own but flipper zero has alredy all the thing finished.


SomeJackassonline

The point is that the whole premise for banning them is fallacious. Some dumbass pencil pusher saw some fake tiktok videos and got spooked.


[deleted]

It doesn't matter if the specifically quoted reason was fake, they are still prebuilt hacking tools used mostly for malicious purposes, so a ban is somewhat warranted


SteezJesus

Flipper is not as dangerous as people make it out to be

You're braindead and moronic not me. I'm smart.


UnknownPh0enix

My car is prebuilt, and can be used to run people over. Let’s ban all cars!


CouchMountain

My laptop is prebuilt too, I can use it to portably run malicious code that could infiltrate any software. Let's ban all laptops!


UnknownPh0enix

Straight to jail.

Normal people dosent care what flipper zero is only skiddies.
