I think it's a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

Self hosting is a viable option, if not difficult. This is also an opportunity to start Canadian-oriented services.
How? It's very simple you see. This is "legal" and "constitutional" when ordinary citizens do absolutely nothing to uphold the constitution and laws or hold those responsible for doing so accountable.
Nah, it's only happening because the people are rolling over and letting them.
Try AliExpress. It has all the same Chinese garbage, but at half the price.
I already stopped buying from Amazon. You can buy exactly the same Chinese crap from AliExpress for half the price. Bonus points for not funding Bezos' attempts to undermine democracy in our own backyard. Just gotta be a bit more patient, but that's an easy price to pay.
I think it's safe to say that intent is what matters, not the technicality of communicating that intent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention
This opinion is so backwards, it's actually impressive.
The purpose of a locked boot system is to control what the device does as much as possible, which intentionally, or incidentally (it makes no difference) means the manufacturer and only the manufacturer gets to decide how much privacy they get to invade.
Get real.
In practice, patents don't really restrict the availability of a technology, from a consumer perspective. Patent holders regularly licence the use of patents. The only purpose of a patent is to fund research costs by creating some guaranteed revenue stream for the patentor.
The only time what you describe happens is if a company ignores its prime directive to generate profit. Such benevolent companies are a very rare thing.
It's a tech demo. It's not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.
I'm with you on this. There is no evidence here to suggest or infer intent to block speech to meet any agenda. An overly censitive CSAM filter seems to be the most likely, and a perfectly reasonable, if not annoying, explanation.
Let's keep accusation of censorship for the cases where speech appears to be blocked intentionally, i.e. for the purposes of manipulating a narrative.
"So what do you do for fun?"
If that's too direct, just mention something fun you did recently and let them decide to respond in kind. If they don't open up to you like that in the slightest, after you open up to them in such a small way, then you should just take the hint and go talk to someone else.
