Fuck the fines, they don’t hurt them. We need jail time to get the point across. Jail tome for whatever top exec greenlit this.

They would just push that jail time down to the lowest level of management acceptable and some poor schmuck would be the scapegoat. I think what would really work would be sanctions against the company or blocking their merchandise from your Market

Force them to offer refunds on the affected devices. They’ll go belly up if they lose a sale based on their forced degradation.
Sounds like a decent ideal
