    Oh God… I think I’m going to be sick. It’s too easy to see how you could weaponize this against dissenters.

    Don’t like something about our product? Have fun being banned from the internet!

      Not even dissenters, just people in general. That’s why they’re likening it to DRM. Run something nonstandard on your system (ie Linux)? Get with the program. It’s a continuation of “you don’t own anything, use it how we want you to use it or don’t use it at all.”

          From what I gathered even if u have installed a browser on ur phone that is not signed by play store or app store google may block it , so fennec / bromium and other f droid products google may decide to tag as malicious !

          That’s just fucked. I guess I’m lucky that my Uni doesn’t really give a shit. During the pandemic, they were even chill enough for us to use alternative software here and there, since we weren’t allowed to come in and use the PCs on site.
