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.
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.
It absolutely hit world headlines way before you commented… I had seen it multiple times from several sources before this thread was made. From local (I’m Swedish) news, global news (grounded and kagi news), youtube and mastodon (links to MSM articles about it).

Time to go to GrapheneOS folks.
Just wait until they fine you for noncompliance
No phone it is then…
This was my exact thought. I remember the 90s.
We had 10¢ pay phones back then though.
Everyone had landlines too. Ya, very different times.
no phones = you cannot create a bank account
Monero it is then
They’ll make you pay taxes.
That’s fine.
Basically :/
In the dwindling amount of phones that will allow you to install GOS on them?
GOS has partnered with an OEM so we may end up with GOS on more phone models.
Which one?
They aren’t saying atm.
Use a tablet with a MiFi router. The hostile network starts there.
FTFY

Scary stuff man.
I mean, it has been, for a long time, but this is not why. According to the article you can simply uninstall the app.
Bet you are going to have the app installed and scanned for every government service you want to use (including leaving the country).
Maybe but that is yet another problem that GOS won’t solve.
Could I not just set up another profile in GOS with this app installed and switch to that profile when it’s needed?
User profiles is an AOSP feature. It’s not exclusive to GOS.
I’ve read about it in three different places this morning, I don’t live in India. I thi I it’s hit “world headlines”
BBC had an article this morning. I follow them for a different perspective on North American news.
