    It’s like “jaywalking”. It purely exists to bully and discriminate against pedestrians and declare the streets belong to the cars. That’s what you get when you have big ass corporations do the lobbying.

      Sideloading isn’t a ticket-able offense. It’s just a name for a thing we are all within our rights to do. That’s not really comparable.

      Now “jailbreaking” is a term I definitely take issue with as the language straight up makes people question the legality.

        Originally jaywalking also wasn’t a ticketable offense. Do you know the origin of this term? That’s the parent poster’s point.

          Does sideloading incur a fine?

          Can you be arrested for it?

          If the answers are “no” and “no” then there’s no parallel with jaywalking and there’s nothing to debate.

              That applies to literally everything. Anything can be made illegal. It is not illegal to sideload. This is such a stretch, you can’t possibly believe this argument.

              You cannot compare sideloading to ticket-able offenses or actual crime. It is 100% legal. Nothing can stop you.
