  • I see at least three issues: the extra cost, the extra layer of complexity it introduces, and the almost complete loss of autonomy it creates

    I don’t see the first 2 issues. it is very easy to implement code based 2FA, both on server side and client side. it also has a lower maintenance, because it doesn’t need anothet API endpoint that the app can send data to. it is less complex, even if we don’t account for whatever crosscheck the backend does with play integrity servers.

    the 3rd one I don’t understand. the government shouldn’t have autonomy over my phone. but probably I misunderstood this one

    That would not be an issue at all if there was no requirement/expectation to use any phone or device of any kind to begin with. To me, that’s the real point worth considering but it’s also a point very few are actually willing to consider because ‘technology is always the solution, never the issue’ ;)

    hmm. does your place have physical government offices, where you can get a paper ticket to an administator? do they also require you to use their shitty app? if yes and no, then technically it is not a requirement, but it’s intentionally very complicated and time consuming to go without the app

    I think the play integrity bullshit is also a big issue. it literally prevents people, anyone, from showing their backs to these corpo scumbags (google and the manufacturers)
