There's also the issue of modern laptops using their TPM chip to encrypt the drives (bitlocker) and then you won't be able to do anything useful with the encrypted disk image.
It's not the first time Sony has changed course, either. The firestorm of gamer outrage started with an account requirement for Helldivers 2, a team-based co-op shooter that went viral about a year ago. The response was so negative (players review-bombed the game) at that time that Sony ultimately backed down, opting not to enforce the requirement.
However, she also said that comparing AAVE to Yiddish is absurd because of how different the circumstances are in that people aren't actively taking Yiddish phrases as their own without caring about the culture they come from.
Well, we use quite a lot of Jiddisch words here in Germany, but I can guarantee you almost nobody even knows those are Jiddisch words, despite what their ancestors have done to the Jews.
because that language and culture isn't mine nor theirs to use, take etc.
Okay, to me that just sounds like bullshit. You can't dictate how other people are allowed to behave. You also can't avoid it. If people are positively impressed by words or actions, they'll copy them, no matter whether you allowed them to or not. There's no copyright for culture (thank goodness).
Maybe I'm just entirely insensitive to the topic and making an ass out of myself, but to me (an ignorant) this seems like totally made up nonsense.
British people in general are not oppressed by the general populace of most countries/the world.
Okay, let me rephrase this. Am I not allowed to speak Jiddisch, just because I'm not Jewish?
All they want is something that is theirs to stay theirs
That doesn't work with culture or language. It's simply impossible. In fact it's the opposite around. These things become more valuable the more people you can share them with.
Okay, sorry, but why do you think black people should have the monopoly on speaking AAVE? Am I not allowed to speak British English, because I don't live in the UK? Pardon my ignorance, I don't have contact to many black Americans, but this seems ridiculous to me.

That's new and certainly not a good look for an online service provider.
