This is insane. USA is already pushing sanctions against Europeans via US companies (e.g. Microsoft revoking ICC accounts), and now they are about to tie basic functioning in the society to two US megacorporations. At the very least this will solidify the duopoly.

At this point I don't find it impossible that critics or other "enemies" of US (or Israel) in Europe will get their phones bricked as sanctions, and as a result become second class citizens.

I don't even see the necessity for having hardware attestation. We've had for decades online ID systems that can you can run on any device with an internet connection.

But think of the children, right?
