@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu is there any plan in motion to stop this monopoly from Google on Android? reCAPTCHA now also requires a Google Certified device status. Soon won't be able to use apps without being locked to Google.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social I bet that Eu bureaucrats are instead really really happy about #PlayIntegrity since they gives them **apparent** total #censorship powers. Sadly I also bet they are too stupid to understand they are handling the keys of power to an evil entity overseas

@denzilferreira@techhub.social I seem to recall “don’t trust the client device” being drilled into my head over and over. Do bank app devs not know this? Are they lazy? Or both?

@denzilferreira@techhub.social I really want a way to export my private keys on the hardware that I own so I can fix the buggy software.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social > EU needs ... Do you realize that #technazi bros daily income is bigger than estimated life-earnings of the EU politicians of the past century, all of them? Do we really expect EU politicians to resist this?

@denzilferreira@techhub.social No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. - No desktops either if Google's QR captcha is any indication of where we're headed. Assuming this goes through, even desktops will be locked out of the web unless they're linked to a Google device by scanning the QR captcha with said device. Or, Google could mandate AluminumOS to be able to pass their captcha on the desktop as well, and only through the Chrome browser. Worst case, the end game will be thin clients tied to rented servers, which would ultimately be tied to your government ID.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social This will fall on deaf ears. The neoliberal hegemony loves tech monopolies because it allows them to outsource the policing of digital space. (The fact that Big Tech is even less democratically accountable than the real police is easily ignored because the policing is now off balance sheet. Same as privately owned 'public space' in cities which are policed by private security.)

@denzilferreira@techhub.social They really are doing anything they can to lock down the digital world, so you in-practice do not own jack shit... "But it's to protect you", lol it's so THEY remain in control, so that THEY choose what software reaches who. I'm tired boss

@denzilferreira@techhub.social You can use custom ROMs with a locked bootloader and that is an important security feature. Otherwise someone could for example temper with your boot partition and inject malware without you knowing. Play Integrity in its current form shouldn't exist, but you're downplaying serious issues.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social If push comes to shove I will have two phones. One of which will be used for identification, and only for identification. Also the EU is essentially blocking an open market. No other phone/os/identification maker can start a business in this way. So all the talk about european digital independence was all blabla. We're doomed. So we can just as well handover Greenland now, before the us switches off identification.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social what we should really do is pour millions into mobile Linux and end this era of basically every phone being controlled by two companies. We should be able to buy a phone like we buy a computer, and then install whatever OS and programs we want, like on a computer.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social Yeah the irony of using a Google phone and being locked out of a lot of apps these days because now my phone is untrusted *because I've updated it to keep up with security updates* is very rich. And any regulators sleeping on the incredible lock-in that results from this are basically just allowing oligopolies to solidify.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social This 100%. The real name of this evil is "Device Hardware Remote Attestation". IOS have their own version, not only Google. Anything else we could deal with by reimplementing the API as other did (Steam's Proton for Windows app, Anbox/Waydroid for Android app, etc.). But this, this is the end game. The real agenda of EU age verification is to inject remote attestation everywhere, effectively banning you from society if you change a single line of code on your device.

@denzilferreira@techhub.social yup, passkeys exist. They provide attestation which is cryptographically unforgeable, and make a sufficient 2FA
