<\/p>\n

According to secret documents leaked by WikiLeaks not long ago, the White House has been in talks with other<\/a> countries to make phone unlocking illegal by international law. And it is rather strange since in public the US government supports those who struggle for the legalization of unlocking.<\/p>\n

As stated in the original report<\/a> (via Slate<\/a><\/noindex>):<\/p>\n

\n

Last week, WikiLeaks made public a portion of a treaty that the White House has been secretly negotiating with other nations and 600 special interest lobbyists. The draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty, which is on intellectual property, shows that HealthCare.gov isn\u2019t the only tech topic on which the Obama administration has some serious explaining to do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What\u2019s even worse, is that the new treaty will also make jailbreaking, which is installing a different operating system<\/a> on your smartphone<\/a>, tablet, or e-reader<\/a>, illegal, too.<\/p>\n

\n

This treaty is still being negotiated, so all of these issues could be addressed in the final text, but so far what has been made public demonstrates a massive and nearly unprecedented power grab by special interests rather than sound public policy considerations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let\u2019s hope for the best and wait to see what happens.<\/p>\n
