Comment on Google could kill YouTube Vanced for good
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf they are testing application genuinity im more concerned they might break all the google services hacks etc used by graphene os.
I mean they successfully destroyed any possibility to use banking apps in custom roms like LineageOS, with their new Play Integrity developer.android.com/google/play/integrity
Maybe there already is or there will be some circumvention, but when i had to do it there was none.
Banking apps work fine on graphene or at least mine does.

This is a consequence of the security standards banks (and credit card companies) need to follow, not Google doing.
Talk to your bank and demand them to disable SafetyNet. You own your phone and by doing this they are trying to protect you from yourself.
Yeah me and the 50 nerds as customers won’t change a thing
If you don’t contact them and continue to use the back there is zero motivation for them to change anything.
I hear this pathetic argument over and over again. It is primarily used in politics. “my senator/representative is republican, he won’t listen” maybe he won’t but the others that already agree with you, don’t require convincing, your congressman does though so that’s why you need to have your opinion heard.
Unlike with politician, a bank is much easier to change for an individual. You can send email to them, threatening to change and if they refuse, you follow on it (worst case you go to bank that doesn’t do this). You would be surprised how effective this might be when it is connected in any way to their revenue. In most cases the management might not even be aware of the issue and devs simply enabled it because they were told the app needs to be secure, and checking phone integrity sounds like a secure thing to do.

It would piss me off hopefully the eu covers that under there antitrust specificly with what they are hopefully going to implement with the new thing they are doing with 3rd party app stores but idk we will see.

Why would the EU cover how Google controls who uses Google’s services?

Most people I know who use Graphene still use Google services and backend stuff. Just sand boxed so they have a bit more control.
Personally, I’m still looking for something that isn’t Google or Apple. Haven’t found it yet.

Ive completly killed google excepr for revanced am working on that tho.
And sandboxed is better than nothing gives more control ill take that over no control any day.
