Why do people help these people spread their vile?

Posting stories on Slashdot / Putting it on CNN is only helping them get what they crave : Attention.

Some problems are best ignored - then they'll fade away out of frustration when they realize they're not getting the attention.

As the world did with Hitler! Oh wait...

No - that is how most people, in most countries, buy mobile phones. They buy a handset, then shop around for a plan (or just go home and pop in the SIM card from their existing plan).

It may be 'the minority' in the US, but it's the norm elsewhere. I haven't bought a carrier-locked phone (or, for that matter, a phone plan with a 'x month' committment) in over a decade.

Here (Poland) almost all the networks offer locked phones, hard to get a different one at a normal price. The iPhone is expensive as hell without a plan, so are most of the Android devices. So you usually end up buying "secondhand" phones from people that got them in plans, and resell them on auction sites. Those are still network locked, and the warranty conditions get iffy.
