Apparently Volkswagen added Play Integrity Device Level in their Android app. A German company depending on American big tech to decide whether a device is safe or not. What a shame.

@jnthnkl Well, VAG group is notorious for utterly bad decisions

[jnthnkl@mastodon.social]

@gytisrepecka Unfortunately, VAG group is not the only one taking bad decisions. There are plenty of bad actors these days.

[gytisrepecka@social.gyt.is]

@jnthnkl That's true indeed

[bettina@mastodon.nu]

@jnthnkl Yes, it's a "shame" to put it mildly - shameful, really...

Some months back, I saw that Murena /eOS/ and others were working on a solution called Unified Attestation but I don't know the status, maybe others do? https://uattest.net/ @murena @volla

Just today, I got the same weird response from the Danish Digitisation Agency, that they cannot measure how many degoogled phones exist in DK but they won't change Google Play Integrity API until there is more than 2%...

@bettina @murena @volla You can answer them they could read ro.build.description or others system properties at runtime to have more details on the Operating System.

@jnthnkl Unfortunately I don't know what that means...

[jnthnkl@mastodon.social]

@bettina They said they cannot measure the number of degoogled OSs they are running on, but the info is actually there on the device.

[bettina@mastodon.nu]

@jnthnkl I still don't understand? The authorities don't have access to people's devices so what do you mean when you say "the info is there on the device"?
