What governments should be requiring is, making bootloader unlockable and making firmware for all antennas, camera and buttons public. Realistically I think it’s too much to hope from any government.
That being said this Sanchar Sarthi app doesn’t look so bad at a glance. Looks like a okay ish attempt at giving population tools to fight identity theft and phishing/scamming with some questionable success. Also the app supposedly doesn’t collect any data.
Thought is good, but if life has taught me anything it’s that it’s only a matter of time until someone new takes over and uses it for their nefarious purposes. Forcing it is never a good option, it should be opt in
Agreed but isn’t the government of India requiring that for all phones.
