  • I’m going off of a article by TechRadar, but essentially: yes. This isn’t about breaking encryption as I initially thought, though that seems to have been the goal when the same law was proposed (and rightfully rejected) in 2022. Rather, the new revision is about making encryption utterly pointless through the virtue of scanning all messages on your device, as you suggested. At least that’s my read on the situation.









  • The way I’m understanding it is, some F-Droid apps will still work, but their developer would have to be “verified”, whatever that entails. I’m not sure what will happen if one tried to installed an app with an unverified developer, but it probably won’t be anything good.

    Whatever the case, this won’t affect most of us (sorry Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand) until 2027. I have a phone running LineageOS and will continue to use it until it gives out, but my next phone will definitely not be running android, because I am so done with this crap.
