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)
