The developers of Funda and Rabobank seem to suddenly block alternative mobile OS's, like @e_mydata@mastodon.social and @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social
They're likely doing this through using the strictest device attestation settings in Google's Play Integrity API.
Funda is the largest Dutch housing platform in the country (like Zillow), and Rabobank is the 2nd largest bank in the #TheNetherlands.
This is why we need alternatives within the mobile ecosystem.

The municipality of #Groningen in The Netherlands is investigating a switch from Microsoft to Linux 🇳🇱🔥
" It is unknown which Linux operating system the municipality will use. This is part of measures to become less dependent on big tech."
