There needs to be a law that makes remote attestation - no matter who provides the root certificates, Google/Apple/GrapheneOS - illegal. There is only one use for this technology right now, and it is to prevent people from doing what they want to do with the devices they own, while also making interoperability cryptographically impossible. This is anti-competitive and should simply be illegal.
@pojntfx this doesn't apply to GrapheneOS, they don't use attestation to be anti competitive, they use it to Verify OS integrity. It's completely optional.
@AndyGravesGrimeSoul @pojntfx It does apply. It only cuts the middle-man out, but the end result is exactly the same - as soon as the platform lets applications rely on attestation the user loses.
