Where do you think they came from? They're only going back to their roots.
What an absolutely terrible article. I read the whole thing and I'm still unclear on what the check is and what it actually applies to and I'm pretty sure the author+GPT is too.
The reddit post (that our author mangled to churn out an article) is pretty clear about it: the age verification app will perform a Play Integrity check to ensure it is an official build on a "supported" OS (whatever that means, my crDroid passes Play Integrity). This doesn't mean anything for any other apps running on that same system, it only applies to the AV app. It does mean something for the OS, because passing Play Integrity needs some Google services running at root level.
That all assumes you even want or need to run that app in the first place. It's just a reference app for now, open for member states to adopt into a potential digital AV system. If your country doesn't have any concrete plans for AV for porn/booze/memes yet, but might in the future, then getting involved in local politics will do a lot more than getting worked up about a github repo.
There's some good discussion in the issue raised on the repo. The developer says that Play Integrity was provided as an example of how to verify client integrity, but that it wasn't a hard requirement and updated the readme to reflect that.
RED FUCKING ALERT Holy shit is this Europe's project 2025?
I thought they were supposed to be the most consumed friendly market but this is a privacy minefield
GrapheneOS here we come
Of course it wont in the end.
EU themself made the rule for 3rd party app stores, sideloading because of monopoly. They will make iterations and end up with something modified from what we are reading right now.
All bad news about the EU the last year has either been proposals, or a rouge member saying something stupid.
All laws they ACTUALLY made, has been good or decent for consumers.
I honestly believe this, but if you have heard of an ACTUAL law which has come into effect that does the opposite, please let me know.
Good thing normies don't need anything that ain't sanctioned by Google and apple.
