why does the needs of a company dictate restrictions on *all* users?
the platform/os is the source of truth, the way we prevent an unauthorized party of cloning or infecting your device, is by encrypting and verifying the disk, and by not installing malware, by running trusted code only and sandboxing any untrusted code
if the user willingly wants to clone their data to another device, to build and run their own platform, or simply modify/replace parts of their current platform, their "wallet" app must not have any say in it, that *is* drm and the want of control that corporations have must not impede user freedom
play integrity is google's way of exploiting fear in order to gain control

@navi@social.vlhl.dev @lumi@snug.moe you obviously didn't get the point. this is mandated by national restraints on what "securely" technically means. It is not about that you want to clone it, it is about national law requiring the company to make sure, you are not able to make a copy of thing that is meant to be singleton, because the whole verification process is based around this assumption. Otherwise you would be required to authenticate way more than you are willing to do

@navi@social.vlhl.dev @asltf@berlin.social @lumi@snug.moe Google is a horrible company with zero credibility. They are nothing more than spyware.
