Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn't be skeptical without proof. Brother isn't in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn't see any mention in the article of other user's printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.
I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother. If you're looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.
This is a part of how any business is valued. You don't just buy the building, stock, brand name, etc. You also buy the customer base. Any place you've ever done business with that later got sold, has made you a part of the sale technically.
