"We don't want to punish users of alternative OSes, but there's really no other option at the moment," Wilden added before his blunt conclusion. "Play Integrity has absolutely no way to guess whether a given custom OS completely subverts the Android security model."
Then don’t. Allow the user to choose what to do with their device and shut the fuck up and get out of the way. You are punishing users for using alternative OSes. That is exactly what you are doing.
Lol, what a fucking joke of a toolbag.
Play IS insecure, full of malware, and is itself malicious.
Fuck that douchebag with a pineapple.
Can you get that on video?
They do, kinda. But they also choose to not let their software interact with it, then.
Which puts us in this weird position countries like the US AFAIK have no laws for, the EU is just starting to employ gatekeeping-laws for technology forms in a big way. Play Services is Google's piece of software, legally they have every right to refuse to let it run on hardware whatever. It's their software after all. But, they have such a market-controlling situation that it'd be unfair of them to specifically exclude company X, Y or Z.
