How is Sony connected to this? I only see references to the Yeti and Graphite OSs. (Misspelled because some commenters say they can’t say the name of an Os for some reason?)

    So, Sony uses Yoti — and it’s using a callback method so users can complete the Yoti verification flow by scanning QR code on their phone, similar to how OAuth2 allows? But if your phone has Graphene, the flow won’t work and instead triggers notification to local authority that someone tried multiple times to “bypass” it or something? Basically forwarding their own sever errors, due to incompatible clients, to the authorities?

    Is that the right understanding?
