Right to repair is not about requiring companies to make electronic devices easier to repair. But it shouldn't allow companies to make an electronic device harder or more expensive to repair.

Such as Samsung gluing the battery to the display so the cost of replacing the battery is not economically viable, since now you pay for both the battery and the screen when the screen was already working, and you just needed the battery to be replaced.

Digital locks should also not be allowed since they're only there to prevent third party repair technicians from easily replacing the part that needs replacing.

Schematics or die.

I think the word moratorium is incorrect here. A moratorium is a voluntary agreement that doesn't actually require both parties to do what the moratorium says they should be doing.

Lobbyists love moratoriums because it makes it sound they are doing something, when it is nothing more then a delay tactic, and there is no penalty when either party doesn't do what they had agreed to do.

Open source any iOS version that apple no longer wants to support and then the open source community can decide to take over and do releases from there. If any company that makes hardware and the software that runs on it, when they no longer want to support it, they can open source the hardware and software.

This is my concern as well. There's a lot of great content out there that uses AI for parody or satire that could get swept up by this.

From the summary:

Instead, YouTube would evaluate each request under its existing privacy policy guidelines to determine whether the content is parody or political critique, which are protected forms of free expression.

Your concerns were already addressed by the summary.
