I don't mean app time, I mean officially support the option of using a privacy-oriented phone, along with any required services, through an app acquisition and update system which is not significantly more difficult than the current distribution. I want that company to be as equally subject to privacy laws as my mobile phone provider, my internet service provider, or my electricity provider. > I will soon no longer be able to use BankID because I'm not a Swedish citizen and the new version insists on scanning a Swedish ID I am a Swedish citizen and I do not own a device which is able to scan a Swedish ID. What are they going to do? Force me to buy a smartphone with terms of service I do not agree with? Shut off my bank services? Have you gone to the bank and said that you are going to get rid of your smartphone, and want to switch to BankID on a file? I'm curious if that's even a valid option. It seems everyone who has a smartphone is so addicted to it that they can't give it up. > Actions speak far louder than words after all. It also helps in giving access to services here and now instead of maybe, later. People have been using your suggestion for years. Has it improved the situation? No. You said BankID no longer works on Linux (even with Wine?). Because the rejoinder has been "if you don't like it, you don't need a smart phone." For you, a smart phone was important enough that you accepted the risk of future problems. For me, a smart phone is not that important, and I don't want to accept the risk of future problems. It isn't like what I'm asking is impossible - there are existing phone providers with terms I can agree to, but only if I know that it's a viable long-term solution. Which it isn't now, as you've said. It requires forcing Swedbank, etc. to support alternative, which I can't do but the state might. Especially since the state want to have a contactless id card, which mongol mentioned at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39727561 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39727561 . The document is clear that depending on commercial interests like BankID is one of their concerns. Or Sweden can pass laws saying that mobile store operators selling in Sweden must follow strict privacy laws against targeted marketing and advertising, and that privacy cannot be opted out. Or Sweden can pass laws which say businesses must have comparable options for those who do not have a smart phone. (For all I know, that already exists.)
