This is simply unacceptable. You are not making an innocent pragmatic compromise here, you are launching digital infrastructure which initially will tie everyone to Google/Apple and give alternatives a huge disadvantage for an unknown amount of time. Nobody knows when, or even if ever, support for open platforms will arrive.
You should be ashamed of being involved in this monopoly handover to American big tech.
- aenis 7mo agoFingers crossed for the judiciary - if the implementers ignore the intention of the law, then lawyers will have to help them understand the limits of corner cutting - and block this.
- subscribed 7mo agoI bet £50 that the alternative (eg GrapheneOS attestation (based on the standard AOSP attestation)) will be delayed, then delayed, then scrapped since almost everyone is using Google Plag integrity anyway. Yes, I assume malicious intent, sorry, seen this happen enough tines recently.
- tadfisher 7mo agoI'm in the US, not facing a mandate, but I want an open-source alternative to Play Integrity to use in the financial sector. There should be no excuse for anyone not supporting GrapheneOS. I've asked on Google's issue tracker and they are not interested in opening the program to non-OHA ("Google Play Approved") participants.
- subscribed 7mo agoIndeed. Goggle is very hostile to anyone not wanting Google deep in their OS, running undisclosed code with the superuser privileges. I think we all collectively should try the compliance / regulatory ways to force enough companies to have to adkit they know Google lies about security when talking about attestation, then force them into supporting alternative attestation methods.
