if you look at the age verification app proposal from the EU, they are pretty much enforcing it in a way that you can only use the EU age verification apps if your phone passes Android integrity tests, which Google is changing in the next version to require developer verification for sideloading apps to your phone (i.e., only verified developers can create an app that can be sideloaded)

@ati1 @xinayder @ondra @chatcontrol I am not projecting my worst Fears, I am just pointing out that ANY implementation of this bullshit will either

* be so ineffective that moderately smart criminals can subvert it relatively easily

OR

* be so disruptive that it will require the police randomly coming to your house to have a look at your computer, or general computing being taken away from users, etc., which would destroy large parts of the IT industry.

There is no way around this. Its math.
