GrapheneOS attestation compatibility guide

Guide on using remote attestation in a way that's compatible with GrapheneOS.

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/15995282

Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of ‘non-google’ approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that’s true or not…

    I can’t prove it, but I’m 99% sure Lyft did the same thing. Had a perfect rating (and was even a driver at one point), and they banned me without explanation right after I switched to GrapheneOS.

    Emailed them a few times asking for the reason, and they refused to tell me.

    _"Legally, we cannot release any additional information except that we found your account to be violating our Terms of Service.

    We will be in touch if we are able to reopen your account in the future."_

    There’s absolutely nothing else that they could’ve misconstrued as “violating the Terms of Service.”

    If Uber’s going down the same path, no more ride-sharing for me I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Its machine learning fingerprinting. They lost the ability to fingerprint you, a flag was raised, and you’re b&

      When this happens to half your accounts, that’s when you know you’re winning at not being tracked

      Uber still works under Lineage. Can’t imagine what the heck they are trying to block

      Do the web apps not still work? I’ve booked Uber eats from a computer in the past, I’m imaging the phone browser version might still function. I don’t have lyft in my country to know tho.

        I’ll have to try next time and report back. Honestly don’t use ride sharing too often. I prefer public transport.

      There’s no reason a company couldn’t release the info legally unless it was under something like AML (anti money laundering) laws and you were flagged as a criminal. They legally can’t disclose why in that case.

      Using a different OS isn’t reason enough, if they were telling the truth about the legal restrictions.
