FULU Foundation
At FULU, we believe that people should control the tech they bought and own.
The Problem
Companies sell us products but retain control, limiting how we use, repair, customize, and even access them.
You think you own your car, but the manufacturer charges a subscription to unlock more horsepower.
You bought a video game, but the publisher destroys it by shutting down the servers.
You try to fix your dishwasher, but you can't do it without calling the manufacturer.
This isn't convenience.
It's control.
And it's creeping into every part of our digital lives, one "update" at a time. If we don't act now, we risk locking future generations into a world where everything is leased, nothing is owned, and the power lies in the hands of companies, not consumers.
FULU's Role
FULU was founded to stand up to the anti-ownership agenda. We're reclaiming the idea that when you buy something, it belongs to you. Not your service provider. Not the company that made it. You.
Expose
We research and document companies' anti-ownership practices. Whether it's digital locks, legal threats, or privacy violations, we pull back the curtain and make the truth public.
Educate
We translate complex laws, policy concepts, and technical barriers into accessible stories and ideas that people can understand. We empower users with knowledge through YouTube, the Consumer Rights Wiki, and our newsletter.
Unite
We build coalitions. Whether you're a fixer, a farmer, a gamer, an activist-or you just own an internet-connected refrigerator-your ownership rights are under attack. Bringing our voices together is the best way to make sure they're heard.
Reform
We support legal and legislative efforts to replace anti-consumer laws with ones that protect our right to own the devices and media that we bought.
“There are many things that make it hard to fix things now; willful actions from manufacturers to limit access to parts & schematics. I talked about this to try and spark mainstream recognition of the "Right to Repair" movement.
Restrictions placed on repair were just a canary-in the-coal-mine for many of the anti-ownership, anti-consumer practices that would become common in every industry, which I discuss & try to push back against every day.” Louis Rossmann
We have an enshittification database, a website called consumerrights.wiki.
“We are looking to create the best database of every company and every incident of this type of anti-ownership garbage happening, because we want to push back against it. Whether you're trying to create new policy to push back against this, or whether you're trying to remove bad old policy to push back against this, I want you to have the best digital treasure trove ov every single incident, so that we can make sure that this is not the future that we live in. And I love to have as much collaboration with you as possible. I want to help you as much as possible. That's what we're here for. I want to try and get as many people putting information into this database.” Louis Rossmann
