Oh, so TOR, Graphene OS and Signal will be banned then? We're going towards a dystopia where the police control which apps you can and can't install?
Yeah I see your point
Well, they are talking about "local scanning" or something, so that's what I'd imagine.
I thought they wanted applications to scan and send data to them, but perhaps the Android OS itself isn't too far of a reach

I know we are heading in that direction but I didn't expect this to happen so soon. I thought it would be beyond my lifetime
