We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security & freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.

This πͺπΊ does NOT make bad practices from πΊπ² more palatable. People need to stop flag shagging, good tech is good when open auditable & represents freedom regardless of origin. Those behind this are funded by those pushing Chat Control.
Size of companies and their locale is irrelevant when hardware attestation API exists and is open and freely implementable, these are adversarial solutions looking for a problem. That problem they are 'solving' is the free distributiion and use of apps across the Android eco system.
I didn't know these were a good thing but their proponents in this regard must think they are and which by definition this attestation programme is. It is neither utilitarian nor benevolent. One company Google does it, it is monopolistic, multiple do it they become a...cartel.
Further context: Play Integrity API should be regulated out of existence rather than making another system where companies permit their own products while disallowing others. It shouldn't be legal when Google does it and it shouldn't be legal when Volla and Murena do it either. This is wrong.
