The FTC has reached a "pro" consensus for the "Right to Repair" rules which they have signed, and it would help personal repairs and small businesses to learn more on how to access their devices. Ideally, this was originally intended for farmers that are mostly working on equipment such as tractors, but this would cover most of the Big Tech industry.
Initially, there was no "right to repair" one's devices without voiding the warranty, as it is said that only authorized service centers can access a device's internals as they are equipped with handling it.
Moreover, several advocacy groups have already aimed to take on the DMCA, as it is one committee that prevents people from repairing their gadgets on their own.
FTC is Pro 'Right to Repair'
The Right to Repair is giving more power to the consumer over their purchased or leased goods, without facing consequences or repercussions in tweaking on the said gadget.
It could encompass different industries including industrial machines for farming, down to modern technology like smartphones or tablets.
