CW: Google's New Monopoly Over the Web (re: reCaptcha & Play Integrity)
Wait, so reCaptcha can now require that you have an iPhone or an Android phone with Google Play Services?
This is really really bad. :neocat_sad: And, what's worse, is it seems nobody is talking about it.
For anyone unfamiliar, Apple's App Attest and Google Play Integrity are "hardware attestation" which uses a hardware lockout to verify that you device is 'valid' and not tampered with. It sounds like good security in theory, until you think about it for more than two seconds. It effectively means that, in order to have a 'valid' device, you need to be approved by either Apple or Google. As such, it doesn't work with non-Google Android ROMs like GrapheneOS, /e/, LineageOS, etc. Once your device isn't considered valid by Play Integrity it locks you out of hundreds of apps, effectively giving Google complete monopolistic control over Android.
This change to reCaptcha brings that same monopolistic control to the web. If you thought you could be above the Apple/Google duopoly in some way, congratulations, it's officially impossible. You have to own a Google Play-certified phone or iPhone in order to use the internet in 2026.
For anyone hoping the European Union will step in, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Skulle jag klara mig utan Google Play Services?
Jag tänker att det svåraste skulle vara att inte ha BankID som ju används till typ allt.
Kan inte längre lätt kolla mina konton och överföra pengar om jag inte är hemma. (Om jag inte tar med mig bankdosan överallt då).
Inget 1177 för att boka tider.
Inget beställa medicin på nätet.
Det går väl iaf fortsätta deklarara på nätet genom någon kod som står på papprena man får hem?
Inget Swish men det går väl leva utan?
Parkeringsappar? Både Parkster och Easypark går väl än så länge SMSa till.
Jag kommer inte heller längre kunna få mitt lönebesked då det skickas till Kivra sen några år tillbaka.
Det går nog iofs be dem att mejla det till mig (där kommer ju dock en fråga om integritet in i bilden).
De kanske kan skriva ut det åt mig?Kommer jag kunna fortsätta beställa saker på nätet?
Om jag betalar direkt med kort kanske?
Men jag kanske inte kan hämta ut med Instabox/Budbee för de kräver (ibland) BankId.Någon som provat eller har något bra input gällande detta?
#Google #DeGoogle #Android #BankID #Swish #DeGoogeling #GooglePlayServices #GooglePlay
EDIT:
Jag har nu påbörjat detta "test".
Jag har beställt en fysiskt simkort från min leverantör och jag har avslutat mitt konto hos Kivra.EDIT2:
Jag har redan insett att jag har appar från Google Play jag behöver 😔
Jag ska iaf kolla om jag kan få BankID på fil att fungera med hjälp av wine. -
