@paoloredaelli I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind EU wanting Play Integrity being a mandatory requirement for non Apple devices. Same way EU forced Apple to open their walled garden.

The only nuance thing here is, a Google Certified device means that they are running Google's proprietary blobs. So really, the course of action is, install alternative OS/use alternative OS and instead tell the devs of apps with Play Integrity checks that there are alternatives to check a device is not compromised - because that is what it should be about. Force Google to provide a different verification path that allows alternative ROMs/OS to be seen as safe.

@paoloredaelli we don't know what we don't know 😉 I trust we can elect EU representatives which share the same concerns. It is our responsibility to make sure of that if we want change. There are so many items that require attention, some more pressing than others. And we have the option of not using a smartphone at all 🙈 Banks are making their apps only work on such devices with Play Integrity, and closing bank offices. Soon, you can't check your balance, transfer, etc unless you have a smartphone that is certified (iPhone or Google Certified device).

Meanwhile, we can have an open dialog like we are having here, so that people around the world also think about what this actually means for them: no alternatives, no options, a monopoly.
