Professional repairs are the ones lobbying for right to repair laws? Do you have proof for this outlandish claim?

The most vocal person behind the right to repair movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npd_xDuNi9k

Oh, and he runs a professional repair shop...

Saying Louis Rossmann is fighting for the right to repair while trying to keep individuals from repairing their own devices is like saying Linus Torvalds created Linux to keep people from getting the idea to build their own operating system.

Rossmann is fighting the good fight and also often doing videos showing how a repair actually works. Most famously a video where he showed that a certain type of common Macbook screen repair is just a simple bent pin that he even repaired for free while the official Apple repair would have cost hundreds of dollars

Louis is outspokenly against professional certification for repairs...

He is in US.

Thinking he has any influence lobbying the EU parliament on right to repair is bogus.

This EU initiative comes from the circular economy action plan, which started in 2015, more than the US or global consumers' right to repair actions. https://environment.ec.europa.eu/strategy/circular-economy-a...

You kind of scuttled your own argument there by pointing to the exact opposite of what's being described upthread.

[tveyben]

Then why is he sharing so many videos teaching/demonstration/commenting about how to fix Mac’s so you can do it yourself…?

[Etherlord87]

Fair, that's one. You need one more to make it plural.
