I was speaking towards internet side of things where you do not own the infrastructure.
As a related note, I do firmly believe in right to repair, and if you own something you can do whatever you want with it.
Partial ownership seems to be a thing now. So I think there is a lot of missing framework around managing that properly.
Long story short - I think there is room for manufacturer consent / acknowledgement / notice to be part of the solution and if it can be part of the solution then it should be. We may need regulation around that, it likely cannot be left solely to the companies discretion and may even need an aggressive "receipt but no reply by X days is considered consent" clause - but I would like to promote solutions that come with communication between the effected parties
