The headline sounds user-hostile and the description reads completely opposite. Also, can we have some sources?

- kdtsh 4y agoMaybe it’s only for stock at the point of sale, and there’s no change to flashing your own ROM from a project like Lineage? If that’s the case this sounds excellent and a small price to pay. If not then it sounds like it would cripple the ability of users to use their own devices for anything except what is specified in this regulation.
- drraj32 4y agoWhy to speculate like this? The submitter should substantiate their claims in the first place, else this should get flagged.
- capableweb 4y agoYeah, not sure if the submission URL is wrong. The relevant article for the headline seems to be "Draft on Mobile Security Guidelines (MSG)" (http://egovstandards.gov.in/comments-on-mobile-security-guidelines http://egovstandards.gov.in/comments-on-mobile-security-guid...) which does mention the following: > Developer mode option should only be available on engineering sample phones only. Engineering sample phones shall be made available based on special request to the phone manufacturer In "Draft on Guidelines for Anonymisation of Data (AoD)" I don't find any mentions of developer mode or side-loading at all.
