# An open letter to all big tech companies

## The problem

I own the device, so I own the data on it. Simple, right?

**Wrong!**

Some people think control is dangerous and that the only way to protect the device from bricking is locking it down. Worse, some also like to put hidden trackers in their locked down devices, making them impossible to remove.

## What we want

We want control. Read/write access to everything on the device. Put warnings, do anything you want, but let us experiment, break and learn!

## How to fix the problem

Easy: just unlock the device. If you sell game consoles then we think it's fair if you can keep the games locked down, but still let us create homebrew freely.

By doing that, you would make us able to do more things with our devices.

## Conclusion

The problem is very easy to fix. If you unlock the devices, the community around them would be bigger and more active.
