Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

We’ve started the process of talking to regulators and they’re interested.

Oh that's great, they aren't actually suing since that would be a pretty big money pit, they are going straight to regulators, something can happen.

FTC act is the most useful against this sort of behavior and only the FTC can file suit for that, not individual companies. I don't think this could be filed as a violation of the Sherman act.
