What "covid policy" do you think contributed to Google locking down their device? Can you point to some of these "covid policies" and explain how it relates to this?

Authoritianism based on an emergenc that prevents civil rights such as freedom of assembly and movement. Censorship. Lockdown. Those set the tone. Media and corporations that need to censor what people say to combat disinformation.

Later we get the wet dream of surveillance with V passports. Social credit style. If you watched the ads companies were trying, you would've seen it. But of course you're going to call me a conspiracy theorists just like it happened back then.

Locking down your devices, putting age restrictions and therefore digital id and no privacy to access the internet, it's all pretty convenient.

But hey, Google is doing this all for your own good, or they aren't and the good EU will stop them because there's no way they'd like control.
