Yes there is. You all don't understand that they will use remote attestation to force everyone to use approved devices with signed apps on signed OSes only
You won't be able to bank, call a cab, write a chat message, watch a youtube video or do anything relevant on a device anymore that isn't signed, approved and controlled by google. They've made us cattle and now they are going to milk us dry.
That's the blackpilled take. The whitepill is that sticking up for yourself hasn't ever been easy, but it's always been an option.
I wish there was a path to victory here. MAYBE there's an antitrust complaint to be made in the EU. But it's already being used against me everyday as a grapheneos user there are several services i am barred from using for no reason.
