Police checks your phone and finds the banned piece of software.

Or your ISP detects traffic from something which is not reported by the backdoor on your phone.

There are so many ways.

There is no technological solution to a power problem. Power solutions to power problems include riots, revolutions, assassinations ...

Oh, so TOR, Graphene OS and Signal will be banned then? We're going towards a dystopia where the police control which apps you can and can't install?

Yeah I see your point

Well, they are talking about "local scanning" or something, so that's what I'd imagine.

I thought they wanted applications to scan and send data to them, but perhaps the Android OS itself isn't too far of a reach
