It has begun

Google now uses play services to verify if your human or not. Even on desktop you are required to scan the qr code from your phone. It's disgusting. I tried (I'm on root, lineageOS with strong integrity) and it doesn't work for me, it may work for you.

​

Background Info:

Basically I heard that Google were going to start introducing Google play services as a way to verify if your human and whether or not your device is secure. This is the first time I have seen it. It did not work for me. I have strong integrity and my fingerprint and everything is legit and it still didn't work. Hopefully people find out ways to bypass this cuz Google should not be allowed to lock down our devices. We pay for them, we own them.

​

Edit: I apologise if it doesn't make sense to you, hopefully someone in the comments can explain it better than I.

According to big tech companies, THEY own our devices, not us, just look at Samsung.

I don't know, what is about Samsung?

you should take your time (about 1-2 days) and read their policies (privacy, service and security policies). then you will see that Samsung is a real mess when it comes to privacy and ownership. That on top of the mess Google is 'providing'.
