If they can legally mandate an "app" they can mandate me having a device to run said "app".
It'd be absolutely absurd to mandate you having a spy with you at all times to exist in society.
"Sorry, don't have a phone, kthx", "Sorry, my phone doesn't use gapps, it's using a custom ROM", and what about these Linux phones?
Yeah, that's not going to work.
