Crazy this is a thing actually being rolled out and it hasn’t hit world headlines.
Europe, USA and other countries are not far behind this initiative once they (governments) see how even more successful it is for collecting and sorting data to control citizens.
Time to go to GrapheneOS folks.

In the dwindling amount of phones that will allow you to install GOS on them?
GOS has partnered with an OEM so we may end up with GOS on more phone models.
Which one?
They aren’t saying atm.
Nah, they’re mostly just going to endlessly harass you for it and wait for you to bribe them.
They will randomly send dacoits in uniform to beat you up and jail you and make it harder for you to earn a living until they get theirbirthrightbribes.Use a tablet with a MiFi router. The hostile network starts there.

I mean, it has been, for a long time, but this is not why. According to the article you can simply uninstall the app.
Bet you are going to have the app installed and scanned for every government service you want to use (including leaving the country).
Maybe but that is yet another problem that GOS won’t solve.
Could I not just set up another profile in GOS with this app installed and switch to that profile when it’s needed?
User profiles is an AOSP feature. It’s not exclusive to GOS.
I’ve read about it in three different places this morning, I don’t live in India. I thi I it’s hit “world headlines”
Can’t speak for Europe but the USA already has this, only instead of a playstore app it’s a collection of backdoors and hacking tools, and they’re installed without our knowledge or consent by military intelligence institutions.
Yes I watched a few videos about the NSA’s hacker group, TAO, and how they exploited backdoors and zero day exploits like crazy but without our knowledge. Went unknown for some 15 years til Snowden blew the whistle.
Scary stuff man.
BBC had an article this morning. I follow them for a different perspective on North American news.
It absolutely hit world headlines way before you commented… I had seen it multiple times from several sources before this thread was made. From local (I’m Swedish) news, global news (grounded and kagi news), youtube and mastodon (links to MSM articles about it).
Just saw and ranted about this. I HATE THIS FUCKING FASCIST GOVERNMENT WITH EVERY FIBER OF BY BEING!!!
at this pace you are going to be sent to a concentration camp soon
They cannot get rid of the caste system but can successfully surveil 90% of the population
The caste system ended in 1947. We know the laws there.
The only thing holding their people back is the Reservation system.
the same way racism ended in 1964?
In 2015, my Indian coworker in the US sat on a different table with another team on a company lunch, because my Indian boss wouldn’t talk to him because he comes from a lower caste.
Bruh are you pretending to be a BJP Devotee
I lowkey expect every modern device to be compromised (unless you’re running custom roms). Whether it’s Pegasus or something else. Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether.
Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether
Even if you can’t, minimizing smartphone use, uptime and carrying mitigates some of the risk
Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether.
Just make sure your pagers are not backdoored with Semtex either.
If you think every phone has some sort of IME, installing a custom ROM means nothing.
India saw Britain and said “I’m not going to let my former colonisers out do me.”
This is just another crowdstrike incident in the making: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CrowdStrike-related_IT_outages
Reuters cited sources to report that US tech giant Apple plans not to comply with the mandate and will convey the same to New Delhi
How do the corporations feel about this when they have workers in India?
Bring back dumb phones!
The modified (Modi-fied?) offer of it now being optional is ridiculous. Keep protesting the policy my brothers and sisters.
Does the iOS one get this sweeping access to everything as well (which would require Apple to specifically give it entitlements)?
Reuters cited sources to report that US tech giant Apple plans not to comply with the mandate and will convey the same to New Delhi.
Looks like the backlash has made them reassure us that it IS OPTIONAL for now…
They turned down the heat slightly because the frogs noticed the boiling.
I use Custom Rom(LineageOS)

Sorry how to install it exactly?
Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Could they install it in a sandbox quarantined away from the rest of the stuff on your phone?
Probably, but until they see at least 20 pictures of your 5 year old in a bikini, they’ll just beat you.
