My Android phone prevents me from taking screenshots if an app author doesn't want me to.

My Android phone prevents me from recording phone calls at the request of my carrier, even though it's totally legal for me to do so in my jurisdiction.

I'm not loving where this is all going.

< recording phone calls

FWIW the default phone app on GrapheneOS supports recording phone calls.

Did a nation state ask GrapheneOS to add that feature?

Why is it always "nation state" when this is brought up, do states and nations that aren't congruous not represent a perceived threat?

"nation state" has a particular meaning and it's not just "a smart-sounding way to say country" but it tends to get used that way.

It does have a particular meaning, but it is one that's not relevant in this context, and it's probably narrower than what the poster intended. For example, Belgium is not a nation state, but I'm sure the GGP would be surprised by an answer like "no, it wasn't a nation state, Belgium asked them to do it".

What do you mean by 'Belgium is not a nation state', if i may ask?

>>meiuqe+lD
I mean that there is no Belgian nation - native Belgian citizens are mostly either Dutch-speaking Flemish people or French-speaking Wallons, and generally don't have any significant notion of a shared national identity.

Note that this doesn't mean that a state with multiple ethnicities/languages can't be a nation state. Indians, for example, generally have a clear national identity, despite being citizens of a huge federal republic with dozens if not hundreds of languages spoken, some of which don't even share a common language family. So, India is a nation state, unlike Belgium.

I don't know if i agree that Belgians don't have a national identity. I just think that the Flemish nationalist parties push the Flemish nationality identity so hard that Flemish people more identify as Flemish then as Belgian.

However Walloon people definitely feel Belgian and have a Belgian pride.

Also, i don't know if a nation state is defined by having a national identity?
