近日,谷歌公司宣布支持美国维修权法案,跟进苹果公司的立场。去年8月,苹果公司一反常态,宣布支持美国加州的维修权法案SB 244。现在,谷歌也认可“维修权”概念,并认为“零件配对”是不合理的。
谷歌的史蒂文・尼克尔本周四发布一份白皮书,强调用户应该对维修有更多的控制权。白皮书指出,监管机构应禁止“零件配对”等不公平的反维修做法。尼克尔将在俄勒冈州的听证会上就此作证。
谷歌全面支持维修权,这对于让消费者更容易修理自己的设备的草根运动来说意义重大。此前,微软也加入苹果和谷歌,共同反对将“维修权”立法。

Recently, Google announced its support for the US Repair Rights Bill, following Apple’s stance. In August of last year, Apple reversed its position and announced its support for the Repair Rights Bill in California. Now, Google also recognizes the concept of “repair rights” and believes that “parts pairing” is unreasonable.
Google’s Steven Nickel released a white paper this Thursday, emphasizing that users should have more control over repairs. The white paper states that regulatory agencies should ban unfair anti-repair practices such as “parts pairing.” Nickel will testify about this at a hearing in Oregon.
Google’s full support for repair rights is significant for the grassroots movement to make it easier for consumers to repair their devices. Previously, Microsoft also joined Apple and Google in opposing the legislation of “repair rights.”
