Google does not regard closed drivers as a problem. With Fuchsia, all the important drivers will be closed, full stop. Google has no incentive to care about your landfills. The permissive license of Fuchsia will make its ecosystem more appealing to IVI and mobile OEMs, not less.
- squarefoot 9y agoE-waste is just one of the problems, probably the only one most users could understand; but security is also a huge one. With apps requiring permission to essentially everything (and users surrendering them blindly) security on any mobile device as of today is a myth. Open Source apps could mitigate the problem by swapping an unreliable layer with a trustworthy one, but we still have closed device drivers which could contain whatever their manufacturer (or its government) wants without any chance of being audited.
