I mean try using a smartphone with a banned apple or google account. A PS5 is a brick if sony bans your account. This is standard industry practice

All of which need to be illegal years ago. France is streets ahead here.

Pointing to other shit companies that are known for anti'consumer practices doesn't help your argument.

First, it is not at all standard industry practice, because only the largest players can get away with it.

Second, what is "standard industry practice" is exactly how ethical we force corporations to be.

FB, as a mindless corporation has it built into its very being to be unable to consider ethics and optimize profits on the edge of legality.

However, what the hell is your excuse, trying to normalise such behaviour as "standard industry practice" ??
