Realistically, Google and then the other Android manufacturers will stop business in Argentina. Grey market will then be filling that niche, almost cerainly with imported phones.

They’ll just wind up on Chinese spy phones.

YFW they’re spy phones, all the way down.

Jokes on you, I have a fairphone running graphene.

How do you run Graphene on a Fair phone?

how’d you do that?

I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

They think alphabet agencies can’t hack/infect/bug their fairphone at will without them even noticing.

More like .ml has bad mods and community.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from yeather@lemmy.ca
I get the bad mods argument but tarring a whole community based on this isn’t cool.
Don’t get me wrong, .world has some really big ass hats and questionable moderation, but it doesn’t mean all their users are bad.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from IcyToes@sh.itjust.works
Yes, however the .ml community as a whole is trash. Good users are closer to the exception than the rule.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from yeather@lemmy.ca
If everyone you look at is trash, either they are, or you are. You’d need some self-awareness and comprehension of the history of Lemmy (including the fact that Lemmy.ml was the main instance before the influx, and after, Lemmy.world had major reliability issues for a while). Many people ended up on ml and don’t really suffer the red scares.
The amount of “I got banned off ml for saying x. Didn’t realise it was as bad as Reddit which I also got banned off multiple times”. I mean if folks are getting banned of a right wing cess pool and a left wing instance, is the issue the instances, or them.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from IcyToes@sh.itjust.works
If we want to go that route, the vocal minirity of the instance ruins it for the rest of them. A few bad apples spoils the bunch. Also, it should be noted many of the .ml accounts made in the wake of thr Reddit Exodus are lurkers or have swapped instances. So yes, .ml consistently has a worse community and a worse mod team compared to other instances, and I have no desire to interact with them.

By that logic, you’re dragging down lemmy.ca. Though I don’t really take that line of logic, cause I ain’t a dick.

How is this remotely Google's responsibility?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Nougat@fedia.io
because they are in full control. and because they are the only ones.
thats more than good enough.
one should not use google in the first place.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from yournamehere@lemm.ee
It’s not, but it seems Argentina doesn’t think people should be allowed to own their phones.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from m0darn@lemmy.ca
Is google even able to do it? They are unable to push os updates directly in most cases. Idk if they already have the ability to remotely uninstall apps. Maybe through the appstore?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from MajesticFlame@lemmy.one
The answers to this question would confirm or destroy a lot of tinfoil the good folks got floating around this here fora.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sunzu2@thebrainbin.org
Well, I did not mean in a backdoor way. If google has a backdoor for the three letters agencies, I don’t expect they would reveal it even if the whole country of Argentine flipped itself over.

They do with Play Services “Play Protect” feature
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca
Even that is pretty limited since it can be disabled, and even if they changed it to not be officially able to be disabled by users, ROM makers can still disable it in various ways, and since their problem is TV boxes, including those shady unlicensed ones, I’m betting those would simply disable the feature via their unlicensed Android Roms.

"unlicensed"
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sunzu2@thebrainbin.org
Sorry let me clarify, when I say unlicensed I meant that they are using Google Play services without Google’s permission or certification.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com
they can, through the mechanism that also allows to install apps to your phone from the google play store website.

ICC Arbitration coming in 3 … 2 …
Honestly, I hope Google just stops doing business in Argentina. Let their courts tussle with phone manufacturers that sell Android devices until they do the same. Not the end of the world if your citizens have to buy such things grey-market or keep using what they already have, or buy devices with other operating systems.
Before you say Apple, Apple would have to handle it pretty much the same as Google if/when they get sued/prosecuted like so.

The ICC doesn’t have jurisdiction over civil matters. The ICC only has jurisdiction over the most egregious of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, on a voluntary transnational basis.

There’s the International Criminal Court, yes, but there’s also the International Chamber of Commerce.
The confusion gives them(the Commerce peeps) a veneer of authority, although as a facet of the International Monetary Foundation that the US/EU requires countries to sign onto in order to do business, they do issue binding decisions versus member countries. That, or the US get’s more hands-on with its meddling.

Ah I get you, sorry I stand corrected. Surely such a claim would come forward through the WTO though, would it not? Would the ICC (the Chamber of Commerce) have enough teeth as the forum for what’s surely a monumental case?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from GrindingGears@lemmy.ca
The WTO is probably right. I couldn’t remember earlier, did some googling, and went with what I found. The WTO and IMF together are a global juggernaut. The ICC is … the one that sticks out in my memory, for some reason.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de
I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it’s unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.

In the case of the IMF, its unbelievable how much power and influence they have.

Its just that Apple doesnt allow sideloading and thus can demand a takedown which could result in an automatic uninstall.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Wasn’t recently a resolution in the EU to allow apple to have alternative app stores and thus allow side loading?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from fushuan@lemm.ee
Which applies to EU countries.
Not sure if apple is going to do separate builds for separate regions
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from towerful@programming.dev
They will do. Afaik the US and rest of the world will be stuck with the old FU-policy
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Even if you are a EU citizen, apple will remove your ability to sideload if you leave the EU for an extended period (I dont recall if it is 30 or 90 days)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Localhorst86@feddit.org
It’s not separate builds, but the App Store already checks your location when you access it, and it uses that location data along with other hints you are under EU jurisdiction to decide whether to allow you to sideload or not.
Or you can use the developer tools to perform a more limited form of sideloading in any country.

What will be achieved once this is completed is that the installed app disappears and cannot be downloaded again, thus breaking the cycle of digital piracy
You can’t break the cycle of digital piracy. Information wants to be free. Going against digital piracy is going against the grain of technology. But I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.
