@cmccullough @LetsRoc also #Microsoft is not only a #PRISM collaborator, but subject to #CloudAct aka. "#Datacenter in #Ireland" isn't even a #figleaf!

@hllizi @randahl or just #Figleaf'd cuy #Lobbzists get paid for entrenching the status quo!

@briankrebs that is literally the problem!

• Not even #figleaf "#consent" needs to be obtained...

@npr_bot neither does any of the #GAFAMs care.

• All they care about is #figleaf|ing their asses legally re: #COPPA!

And no, what #Apple does here isn't #SelfRepair or #RightToRepair but a rotten-to-the-core #Figleaf to bamboozle #TechIlliterate #legislators into believing Corporate #PR aka. #Propaganda #lies!

• Imagine if one would have to call @frameworkcomputer just to be able to use a new #Laptop #battery... But with Apple people seem to accept having their #Phone #RAT'ed for no legitimate reason!

@GrapheneOS @thomas @wonka OFC #Google abuses it to enforce their #monopoly and choke alternative ROMs to death with this anti-feature #DRM.

• Granted @EUCommission & other #Watchdogs propably neither understand nor care about the seriousness of this issue...

It's obvious #GrapheneOS' devs rather refuse to support hardware than to do concessions in terms of #Security...

• But besides that I think that any decently maintained #Android distro like #LineageOS should be accepted when #unmaintained & #abandoned-after-release #eWaste producers like #Wiko and #Unihertz get past that #PlayIntegrity check, which are the ultimate evidence pieces that "#security" isn't even a #figleaf in this discussion!

As @uint8_t said: it's #SecurityTheater and has nothing to do woth either #security nor #integrity!
