They're getting worse with attested and validated environments. This one of the reasons that google is trying to kill sideloaded apps and checking for root access.

Weird thing.. the people who want this validation fully expect for you to pay for, maintain, keep it valid, and pay for upkeep/service for their desires. Honestly, this is something that SHOULD get very aggressive pushback.. but most people accept for no reason.

It's not "accepting" - it's actual wanting. Many people want surveillance. Many people want age verification.

A vague answer that says nothing and can't be proven. Thank you for wasting our time.
