Oh shit, I wanted to steal a car but now because of this ban it will be illegal, how bad.
Yeah, since we can’t stop murderers, we should do nothing about it.
Banning flipper is exactly that- doing nothing- because you can't actually use one to steal a car.
The thing we should do is to hold car manufacturers accountable for neglecting security in cars.
Remember, the “s” in IoT stands for security.
nice one
So actually doing nothing.
God I love these shit analogies.
Here's the thing: banning murder hurts absolutely no one and accomplishes a lot.
Banning Flipper Zero, however they decide to do it, hurts hobbyists and helps no one.
See how your analogy is the opposite of reality?
If you truly want to solve something then you have to make some draconian-like laws and enforce it with rigorous effort. Sometimes the harshest measures are the safest measures.

Ah, thank you!🥰

Let's establish an international anti-murder day. It won't save anyone, but at least we did SOMETHING!
We can't stop murderers, so let's band all guns, knives, baseball bats and tire irons.
I do agree with the gun part, the rest are up to serious debate.
They were being sarcastic.
I know.
