Now you've done it. Worldwide Flipper ban incoming over this. </sarc>



I had a similar thought, given recent news around negligent automaker security and scapegoating.

For people who don't want the Flipper Zero banned... I suspect it might be smart to leave the name of the tool out of headlines.

And when we do mention what tool we used in body of the article, that same sentence, or one next to it, should be clear that we're using such-and-such standard technology (e.g., RF or IR), and that the Flipper Zero is only one of many options for doing that.

Promoting a particular product in headlines can be nice, but counterproductive if that same visibility is getting the product banned entirely.


Can be used with cars and wristbands? Won't anybody think of the children?
