I think the register or adafruit posted an article on this, which has over a few hundred comments and votes btw.

Flipper zero being banned is silly, I suppose you could maybe annoy people by controlling some lights with it perhaps, turn a projector on or off.

I guess all the clickb8 tiktok bs which casts the flipper as some sort of super hacking device worked. I've even had people tell me it can hack contactless bank cards ahahaha.
