    I’m afraid the carriers will just stop allowing devices on their networks unless they’re approved and locked down with a spy ROM.

      Well then no compliance. I’ll take a dumb flip phone if it came to that. And with tethering I can use whatever I damn well please behind it.

      It’ll be their own downfall. Telephony is handled perfectly fine through tcp/ip. So if carries don’t support it, we’ll start seeing components that turn the phone part of phones to Internet connectivity modules.

      Yeah, it seems that’s where we are going. Technology will either be state approved or you can’t use it legally.

        In the fascist US, yes. But the EU forced Apple to adopt Usb-C to protect consumer rights to not need to buy completely new cables when they switch to or from Apple so I expect the EU will force Google to let European consumers use their devices however they want to.

          You mean the EU currently arresting people for memes. Real fighters for justice over there, aren’t they.

          The same EU trying to implement chat control and age verifications across various states?

          🤡

          Don’t forget locked down bootloader which is how the OP will be enforced.

          This naive confidence is how they are able to do it.

      Sadly that’s a high possibility, though I hope it won’t come to that or at least there would be a network that allows this.
