    Ok cool. But you and I both know that this feature was designed for the DMCA-lovin' Hollywood types and the control-freak enterprise IT BOFHs, not for your cool hack. Let's use their tools of oppression against them! (fist emoji)

      Media and Enterprise already have TrustZone, Knox, Intune, etc. which work "enough". Newer markets include cashless (CBDC) payments and digital identity anchored in human biology, demanding more security than legacy content. > Biometrics: By deploying biometric trusted applets in an isolated virtual machine, developers will have the isolation guarantee, access to more compute power for biometric algorithms, easy updatability regardless of the Trustzone operating system, and a more streamlined deployment. Fortunately, OSS can enable N-party transaction transparency, we don't have to settle for one-way mirrors and WeChat clones.
