Screenshot of fediverse post by @lrvick@mastodon. social: It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device. Itis unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical. Any tech journalists or lawyers interested interested in this? | would like to do anything | can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.

Freedom in technology must include freedom from technology.
We must not create a societies where the price of admission is owning a device controlled by one of two trillion-dollar US corporations.
We must safeguard people’s access to public services and the everyday necessities of life via alternate methods.
Technology should always be a progressive enhancement.
Do not let Silicon Valley privatise your access to modern life.
