@guilg@piaille.fr @bettina@mastodon.nu @MisterSmith@mastodon.social @anderslund@expressional.social We're already taking action against Google for the Play Integrity API. Volla, Murena and iodé have sided against us on freeing people from anti-competitive use of hardware attestation. Instead of fighting it, they've built their own anti-competitive system on top of the standard Android hardware attestation API. They've made it to permit their own products while forbidding others. It's clearly not legal and they don't have the legal resources Google does.

@guilg@piaille.fr @bettina@mastodon.nu @MisterSmith@mastodon.social @anderslund@expressional.social Google's developer verification system has no direct impact on GrapheneOS since we won't have any enforcement of that system. It's going to be a Google Play feature similar to Play Protect. App developers not performing verification would have grounds to file a lawsuit against them but we wouldn't since it doesn't directly negatively impact us. They've also said there will be a way around it for power users but not how that will work such as needing ADB.
