They've been interfering with what people type for a long ducking time now. :)
But there's a lot of keyboard manufacturers out there, I think many people would buy a different keyboard if the one they had did not serve the purpose they intended it for.
I don't think anything is really a common carrier unless they are or have been granted a monopoly or oligopoly over limited public resources.
- tsunamifury 3y agoHaha so hacker news. You know the vast majority of humanity now uses virtual keyboards embedded in the OS right. And your hardware keyboard would do nothing to stop OS level censorship.
- kube-system 3y agoThere are many virtual keyboards built into OSes, and many OSes, even in use by the general public. There is a very extreme difference between the ability to choose an iPhone, and being able to choose which wires are on the pole in front of your house. Common carriers are required to provide service under a special set of terms, in exchange for special and preferential treatment, like having exclusive access to public resources. That's not the case with a mobile phone, virtual keyboard, or OS. If you want to make one, go make one.
