Oh, so TOR, Graphene OS and Signal will be banned then? We're going towards a dystopia where the police control which apps you can and can't install?

Yeah I see your point

Well, they are talking about "local scanning" or something, so that's what I'd imagine.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy 1 points 4 months ago

I thought they wanted applications to scan and send data to them, but perhaps the Android OS itself isn't too far of a reach

I know we are heading in that direction but I didn't expect this to happen so soon. I thought it would be beyond my lifetime
