Ahh yes, the old "it's not tracking", it's "to prevent ad fraud". What harm are you trying to prevent from preventing "rooted users"? Do you think it was common

- OJFord 4y agoI don't like it either, but fwiw: > What harm are you trying to prevent from preventing "rooted users"? Bypassing $streaming-app DRM/accessing its downloaded files for offline viewing (to copy elsewhere and keep forever) is a fair reason I think (better if it would just disable that feature of course). No idea why banking apps don't like it though. I assume they (or rather some manager, presumably not their Android devs) think 'rooted, uh-oh, hacker!' or something.
- zaroth 4y agoIt’s wild that content producers stoop to “the only way for me to protect my shitty content on your phone, is for you to no longer be in control of your own phone.” But it’s even more wild that the industry laps it up. Thank god the tech isn’t actually good enough to truly achieve the vision - a corporate wet dream and a consumer dystopian nightmare.
- ShowalkKama 4y agothe funny part is that you can easily bypass them if you want to (again, you are hurting only legitimate users)
