The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.

    Or they just ban you without recourse and poof all your data and accounts are dead.

    Edit: consider using Google Takeout to download your data periodically as a hedge against trouble with your account. This will help prevent data loss in the event your account suddenly goes poof. It won’t help you with the apps you bought though.

        Sorry, can’t run code not signed by an attester recognized by your hardware manufacturer.

        Please enable bootlock and wipe your device to regain attested status.

        Can’t enable bootlock, your device’s attestation expired 1 months ago, please use an up to date device if you wish to use attestation.

            Kind of. Several apps already refuse to run without bootlock or on a rooted system if it wasn’t for Magisk, this will make web apps to refuse running too.
