Anticircumvention laws, included in trade deals to protect US companies’ rent extraction schemes, stop us from fixing or improving our own devices — from phones and tractors to insulin pumps. Repealing them will save billions and hit Trump’s donor class.

Stop Disenshittification.

Whoaaa... that's a lot of logical negatives in just 1 line.

You cant remove that double negative without making it incorrect. Its specifically about laws that prevent you from mitigating or bypassing enshittified parts of already enshittified platforms.

These laws happen to also cause enshittification, but thats not what the article is about.

I'd go with "deshittification," myself. It's not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.
