Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has identified an unlikely public enemy No. 1 in his new crackdown on car theft: the Flipper Zero

What a fucking ignorant, dickless, corporate cock-sucking, asshat.

The flipper is no different than any laptop or phone + an SDR, it just has an extra spicy collection of software available by default. Literally anyone can assemble the hardware and software needed to duplicate the functionality of the Flipper for a fraction of the price using off the shelf parts.

Honestly they just need an enemy to distract from real potential solutions because solutions are hard. They did the same thing with firearms.

What an asshat indeed.

Yeah, they should definitely have targeted vulnerabilities instead. Human skin should not be so easy to pierce with bullets...

Yes, "hacking tools" equate with firearms.
