"Canada Cracks Down on Car Theft with Ban on Flipper Zero Devices"

TL;DR Summary
Canada is set to ban the Flipper Zero device, attributing it to car thefts in the country. The government claims that the device is used to copy wireless signals for remote keyless entry, contributing to the loss of about 90,000 vehicles annually. However, the maker of Flipper Zero argues that the ban is misguided, as the device cannot be used to hijack modern cars with rolling codes. Critics are questioning the ban, suggesting that targeting the device overlooks the responsibility of auto makers in preventing car thefts.
