:::::Yeah, I think the primary point of difference we have is over that definition of 'consumer'. For me, I think if we don't keep that to just being the consumer-company relationship, it would result in pretty major scope creep for the wiki overall (you can imagine how many things could be brought into scope across a wide range of circumstances). There might be some flexibility in the definition of 'consumer' (e.g. I think you could potentially count small businesses as consumers in a context where they're buying a major peice of equipment from a supplier, and the supplier is messing them about), but I think for the wiki it always has to be 'someone who is purchasing products or services (paying with either their money or their data in the case of social media etc.), and is being subjected to unfair terms when doing so. | :::::Yeah, I think the primary point of difference we have is over that definition of 'consumer'.

:::::I'd absolutely appreciate further input on this, as I don't think it's a completely settled issue for the wiki, and the boundries of what is and isn't in-scope are not firmly drawn yet.

::::::I think @[[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] is making some important points. I think it will take a lot of work, but this article can be restructured to be within scope. The core issue I see with it as of now is broadness and generalized issues. If this theme article could be structured around real incidents and very specific issues and such, it makes for a good article. I can work on it a bit to get it up to a higher quality standard, at least reworking the structure itself (and the text secondary) [[User:Beanie Bo|Beanie Bo]] ([[User talk:Beanie Bo|talk]]) 13:37, 16 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
:::'''Control of information.''' Access to information is one of the central pillars of right to repair. Since AI radically changes what information people access, I am missing why it is out of scope. | :::'''Control of information.'''
