080. right to repair: the legislative fight for fixable tech (ks5)
Investigate the Right to Repair movement, analysing the legal battles between tech giants and consumers over access to spare parts and repair manuals.
When you buy a laptop, do you truly own it if the manufacturer forbids you from fixing it? Tech giants often use software locks and legal threats to prevent independent repairs, forcing consumers to buy new devices. In this module, we will investigate the global "Right to Repair" movement. We will analyse the legal, economic, and environmental arguments pushing governments to legislate for fixable technology.
