Leave a 1 star review for Volkswagen's apps on the Play Store asking them to stop banning GrapheneOS. Explain it's a far more secure operating system and fully possible for them to verify the hardware, OS and their app on it if they insist on doing it. It's far more secure than anything they allow.

  • Google has misled companies about what the Play Integrity API provides. It doesn't genuinely enforce having a secure device or legitimate app, it only pretends to. It leaves huge security holes open. It enforces Google's business interests and bans having a reasonably secure device with GrapheneOS.

    @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Or you just say that you got a "NitroPhone" by your employer and that their app doesn't work on it. That phone is just a google pixel with GrapheneOS preinstalled and white labeled. Don't get technical, just be a dumb user that doesn't know more than their app doesn't work on your phone you bought. That typically works best.

    @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social The same company known for using bad software in their cars? Shouldn't they already have one star? 🤣

    @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social jsyk this is pretty solidly within the definition of harassment and possibly could get you in legal trouble (not a lawyer, not legal advice) and of course reputational damage. I've been really concerned with adversarial behavior and negative comments being the entire activity of this account, to be frank, and I really think you should reevaluate what you're doing here. I unfollowed some time ago and am pondering a mute or block if this keeps getting boosted into my feed.

    @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social not because of you... Just because the car has bad software
