Samsung Display has appealed to the United States FTC to enforce a sweeping ban for all aftermarket/refurbished AMOLED screens in the country. If enforced, such a law runs the risk of gutting the entire independent repair industry, denying consumers the choice for cheaper parts. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Display-seeks-to-ban-all-aftermarket-AMOLED-screen-imports-to-the-United-States.681018.0.html
Nice to see this being reported on here. Not so nice that Samsung could easily prevail.
Article title: "Samsung Display seeks to ban all aftermarket AMOLED screen imports to the United States"
First sentence in article: "Right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann has unearthed a particularly unsettling lawsuit from Samsung Display that aims to ban exports of all aftermarket displays from the US market."
Nice to see quality journalism at work...
On another note, just one more reason for me to avoid Samsung products.

Unfortunate error on my part. Fixed. Thanks for highlighting.
Shame!
While it wasn't exactly a secret how Samsung wanted to be more like Apple in ways over the years, it truly is despicable the moves they're making now.
Bad enough they started killing off the features and practices that got them here with the S20 line. I don't feel bad for looking elsewhere for my next phone
It's the US International Trade Commission, not the US Federal Trade Commission.
