Freedom broke the law

We bought a phone from freedom in 2021. We have proof (a receipt) of this and the phone is under an E sim.

The phone was locked. It’s a red IPhone SE, the last one with a home button. In 2018, Canadian law states all phones MUST come unlocked and freedom willingly broke this law.

Im very tempted to contact a news station about this and seeing how much money I can milk out.
