I'm throwing my phone into the sea the moment it tells me I'm not allowed to do something.

Hate to break it to you, but this is just the next assfucking in a long line of assfuckings. Your phone already won't let you:

  • Unlock the bootloader without wiping all the data on your phone (or some won't let you unlock it at all)
  • Run "sensitive" apps if you have the audacity to run code that isn't approved by the manufacturer
  • Have admin or root rights to the phone you fucking bought and paid for without it marking your phone as "insecure"

I mean, maybe, hopefully, this will finally be the assfucking that wakes us the fuck up.

I don't care what other phones do.

Which phone do you have that doesn't do this? (Unless you have a Linux phone, but then you'll be unaffected by this whole change anyway)
