So what does this mean for alternative ROMs? Will nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q4gnztg be forced to build it's own phone even quicker than it was thinking? Or is the veil going to slip and reveal that the security "improvements" are actually an attack on freedom?
Next step is to require this for normal computers as well.
All devices that can run a free (as in freedom) OS and apps is a threat to the authoritarians.
Yep seems like it

This law applies to desktops and laptops as much as smartphones due to those having Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, which many people frequently forget about. It does stop people installing another OS on their devices and there isn't really a bigger impact on smartphones than laptops and desktops. It's a typical misinformation news cycle. Other news paraphrase stories.
