The fact that the US allows companies to flat out steal your device during a repair process is insane.
The US doesn’t allow it. Google won’t keep your phone; they’ll just refuse to service it. They had that line in their TOS for their own protection for weird scenarios, but they’re not going to keep your phone. Why would they? It’s broken and full of parts they can’t use; they’re not going to just let it occupy space in their warehouse, they’ll send it back.
This whole thing is an absurd overreaction to a poorly-written line in a TOS that has never even been enforced.
LOL put the debate textbooks down and use your noggin. I’m asking you to back up your statements. In this case it would be fairly easy to prove a negative if you actually had any. If you don’t have any evidence then don’t say it.
The fact that the US allows companies to flat out steal your device during a repair process is insane. This is theft. Actual straight up theft.
Surely this doesn’t even need any new laws - I’m pretty sure theft is already illegal
