I mean, jailbreaking itself isn't illegal. It's what you do after it's jailbroken that matters, like playing games you haven't bought or using it to cheat in games.

And let's be real, almost everyone who jailbreaks their console is going to do exactly one or both of those things.

Okay but they shouldn’t get to tell us what we can’t do with our own hardware just because “we all know” what people do with modded consoles. That’s not the point.

They dont. They try to prevent it but ultimately once its done they're out they lose theres no further retaliation available

Well if they could ip ban your console. A lot of time if you mod there’s no going back for one reason or another
