At that moment you could create account on Google without sending your ID but they could restrict your account for “age verification” and ask for ID.

Yes, firstly they remove headphone jack because of “security protection” then they remove bootloader settings for “security protection” LOL

It would be funny if someone changed his name to someting like Jack Blow Job and upload id and started leaving comments on the whole “family friendly” Internet under this name 😂

Probably it will not be all “internet” but some parts of it. Since I already live without many invasive services it shouldnt be big challenge for me. Obviously Facebook and Google already asks for ID everyone, so any changes at all. Probably its better do not exist on the internet than exist on castrated, polished, theocratic internet

As far as I know our contractual law prevent being liable for damage caused by users own usage of a hardware or software. This is why tor browser developers arent in trial as liable for some scams that some users do using their software - because of their contract policy. So this excuse is jot valid - they locked bootloader jot because they are obligated or fear trial just because they do not luke private os which prevent them from harvesesting users data

I saw it, of cource they didnt publish no apk or aab. I dont think a lot of people will compile from the source code, maybe like 0.05% of users

Its restricted by legitimate interest - see process Google vs Spain

It doesnt delete an account, it makes account invisible. To wipe data people can try to send gdpr request to DPO, by my experience most of the Big companies doesnt satisfy such requests based on broad meaning of “legitimate interest” “fraud prevention” “implement security measures” “protect others users”

I already have like 6 complaint to DPA for companies refusing to delete data

Why its not available as apk or aab or on fdroid?

Promoting play store?
