Oh shit, I wanted to steal a car but now because of this ban it will be illegal, how bad.
Yeah, since we can’t stop murderers, we should do nothing about it.
Banning flipper is exactly that- doing nothing- because you can't actually use one to steal a car.
The thing we should do is to hold car manufacturers accountable for neglecting security in cars.
Remember, the “s” in IoT stands for security.
nice one
Flipper Zero can't be used to hijack any car, specifically the ones produced after the 1990s, since their security systems have rolling codes
So actually doing nothing.

If you truly want to solve something then you have to make some draconian-like laws and enforce it with rigorous effort. Sometimes the harshest measures are the safest measures.
Now tell everyone how banning a device which can't be used for car thefts, will somehow help with car thefts.
I think we'd all like to know.
Or, you know, it's incredibly stupid to ban. But what do I know? Other than that you can't use a flipper to steal a car of course.

Let's establish an international anti-murder day. It won't save anyone, but at least we did SOMETHING!
We can't stop murderers, so let's band all guns, knives, baseball bats and tire irons.
I do agree with the gun part, the rest are up to serious debate.
They were being sarcastic.
I know.
