I thought I bought a camera, but no DJI sold me a license to use it [video]

I have a washing machine that won't let me use it fully without installing an app that asks for permission to track my GPS coordinates at all time, in my phone. HomeWhiz.There should be a law against selling new hardware that demands that sort of thing to function, or to have full functionality. But I would be happy if procedures to bring class-auction lawsuits against companies that engage in this kind of bait-and-ransom were somehow simpler.

This is the kind of stuff that I feel a coordinated campaign to have consumers take companies to small claims court over would be very effective in combating.

I'm sure a bunch of elderly magistrates would feel that this kind of requirement is obscene and would readily side with the claimant.

Collectively this would cost the company a lot.
