This is a good point. It's rather ludicrous to see the people who have been acting as thought police for years with a list of banned words and mandatory terms suddenly now caring about free speech just because someone else is making the list. I'd like to think they've learned their lesson, but I think they just want to be in control of the words again.
Just be aware that these "fixes" aren't 100% complete and will likely break in the future when Microsoft patches Windows. For example, when people tried to block telemetry in Windows 10 via the hosts file, Microsoft first moved the telemetry servers from named domains to a series of new IP addresses, then after a year or so they patched the telemetry sending code to bypass the hosts file. Similarly if you ran the scripts to disable Cortana/Windows Search, that worked for a while but nowadays you'll find SearchApp.exe doing Cortana work in the background whether you like it or not.
Hopefully other states and countries sue them too. Facebook has taken massive liberties with our private data and they should be held accountable for it.
Does that mean youtube is AI generating your voice to "add it back" after silencing that part of the video? Does it ever generate different words to what you actually said?
There are lots of subtle ways carriers can punish unlocked phones. I tried using an unlocked Samsung flagship with a Verizon MVNO and it never worked properly. They even told me that various features wouldn't work such as Wi-Fi calling. Had to go with the main carrier anyway, so I might as had a locked phone. If the FCC pursues this rule they need to cover all the loopholes and even then it will probably be years of malicious compliance like we're seeing from Apple in the EU app store ruling.
