The whole idea of ID/age verification on OS level is complete bullshit anyway

Just another (big) step to mass surveillance

My assumption is the model Graphene is supported on will be sold in California, but with Moto Android by default. The user can then install Graphene on their own.

Exactly the same as the Pixel now.

if the userbase of graphene reached critical mass in California, I wouldn't be surprised if the state banned bootloader unlocking

I feel like thats extremely unlikely to happen, at least banning bootloader unlocking. I'm sure a law could come up eventually, but in order to legally block bootloader unlocking they'd end up banning most consumer and enterprise PCs and SBCs. (Not to mention, how would you enforce this when every state around you would not have this restriction; OEMs will not create a California specific SKU.)

keep in mind these laws aren't meant to be enforceable, they are meant to prolong oppressed people's sentences or give the state a reason to raid your home for dissent

Huh? While the Venn diagram overlap of people who are oppressed/dissidents and bootloader programmers is non-empty, the point of these laws would be to prevent the sale of devices with unlockable bootloaders, not too arrest anyone who does the unlocking.

Motorola phones are owned by Lenovo, a Chinese company.

Good! I first read this as them refusing "new age"- verification laws. I guess that works too.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

We need to stop calling it age verification and start calling it advertising solution service. ASS is necessary now because advertisers don't want to pay for bots.

This is the problem and ASS is the solution they want.
