Companies forming an anti-competitive cartel providing a service which permitting their products and while disallowing others isn't legal regardless of how they market it. It's not legal when Google does it with the Play Integrity API and it's not legal when it's Volla, Murena and iodé doing it.

We won't be participating in a system which gives these companies veto power over app compatibility on GrapheneOS. These companies will not be given the power to make arbitrary demands of GrapheneOS.

A lot of the devices we use in the kitchen (Thermomix, microwaves, dishwashers, coffeemakers etc) use complete operating systems and embedded computers nowadays, often with internet connectivity for who knows what. So. Will we soon see mandated fingerprint readers for age verification or will a simple switch with "18+" be sufficient to continue to cook and clean? ;)

Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.
