@lumi@snug.moe @jdelacueva@mastodon.social @IvanSanchez@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @fruitchypear@owo.cafe @greatlaketrout@noc.social thas has nothing to do with "drm"
It is there because remote service needs assertion, your generated private key is bound to your device and can't be copied to another phone.
And to assert that, a trusted party (google/Apple) asserts the complete chain from hardware up to the os it is ronning on - so no MITM sits within.
Currently there is no other way, other than not using mobile os's

@asltf@berlin.social @jdelacueva@mastodon.social @IvanSanchez@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @fruitchypear@owo.cafe @greatlaketrout@noc.social it prevents people from taking control of their own systems and tinkering. it fundamentally restricts user freedom. how is that not drm? there shouldn't be anyone else telling someone what they can or can't do with their device
