I care. I'm concerned that the new laws will make it illegal for consumers/citizens to modify technology that they own, such as installing new software on an iPhone that isn't approved by Apple, or on any similar device. This will give corporations more control over our modes of communication by restricting what we can see and do, restrict access to functionality of devices, and restrict innovation. In the case of mobile phones, it will limit consumers access to alternate mobile carriers because it will be illegal to circumvent the SIM card lock. We are already tethered to our mobile providers with three year contracts common on most Canadian cell plans and things will likely get worse.
