Crazy this is a thing actually being rolled out and it hasn't hit world headlines.

Europe, USA and other countries are not far behind this initiative once they (governments) see how even more successful it is for collecting and sorting data to control citizens.

Time to go to GrapheneOS folks.

Can't speak for Europe but the USA already has this, only instead of a playstore app it's a collection of backdoors and hacking tools, and they're installed without our knowledge or consent by military intelligence institutions.

Yes I watched a few videos about the NSA’s hacker group, TAO, and how they exploited backdoors and zero day exploits like crazy but without our knowledge. Went unknown for some 15 years til Snowden blew the whistle.

Scary stuff man.
