@bettina @MisterSmith @anderslund Android already has a standard hardware attestation API which can be used to permit each of these options. The entire purpose of this system made by Volla, Murena and iodé is to centralize control over what's allowed to be use with a service under their control. The whole point of their service is to permit their own insecure products with no serious security standards while forbidding everything not part of it including GrapheneOS. It's definitely not legal.

@bettina @MisterSmith @anderslund Forming an anti-competitive cartel which pushes a centralized system only permitting using the products of the companies forming it while disallowing anything else is clearly not legal. We fully intend to file a lawsuit against Volla, Murena and iodé once the damages against GrapheneOS start building up. This highly unethical anti-competitive power grab by these companies will not stand. There's nothing peaceful about this aggressive power grab they're making.
