@WeAreFairphone If there has to be a system for controlling which devices and operating systems people are allowed to use for running banking and government apps, it shouldn't be run by for-profit companies with massive conflicts of interest. They're going to permit their own products regardless of how insecure those are which will lock out competition. It's not a positive thing because European companies are doing it. If it has to be exist it needs to be neutral and fair, not this.

@fartwithfury @WeAreFairphone @EUCommission We've talked to the EU Commission about the Play Integrity API multiple times but nothing was achieved so far. Now there's another awful system for it being pushed by companies in the EU which we're going to need to fight against too. They have a lot more connections than we do in European governments. /e/ has received millions of euros of funding from the EU which they use to make products for their for-profit company to sell.
