- XorNot 3y ago"Bring Your Own Device" has honestly been pretty pathological in this regard. I like only having my phone on me, I very much dislike the various levels of invasive that corporate compliance software is designed around (Google do...not a bad job here in just having the domains separated, but I'd be much happier if it all had to live in it's own VM with only the access I grant it back to the main device).
- ethbr1 3y agoIn Google's case, at least they have the technical fig leaf of being able to blame third parties. I.e. Google only implements Play Integrity (nee SafetyNet) attestation. Third parties decide what to use it for. Google has no control over those third parties. That said, in practice it's 90% about controlling and limiting open source / third-party Android forks.
