And how are they supposed to do it if users did not add proper 2FA (and backup those recovery keys)?
Even banks are struggling to authenticate folks. For a longtime in EU people with 3rd world passports cannot create accounts easily.
Google cannot connect identity of a person to email address easily. Or they need to create CS - that will authenticate passports? And hundreds of countries, stolen IDs?
Nay.

Same thing with govts. If you go to driver license. passport or any govt office then there will one person with some strange issue.
I agree and its unfortunate that there i. For a long time I went without WhatsApp but realized that connecting to family was more important to me. I don't have a good alternative for this one.
Niche forums still exist with real humans like for example, LTT or openZFS forums. But main stream ones like XDA, reddit or YouTube etc are totally ruined by AI.
It works well for you.. but for average person. No.
As a 20 year old linux user, I do often use ChromeOS or ChromeOSflex. Just works. Beautiful UI. No more pain with webcam or wifi drivers - Yes, these have improved by still one has the pain of dropped packets (realtek wifi) etc. guaranteed 10 hour battery life.
With ChromeOS I just get 4 or 5 second - update - immutable OS. Fedora Silverblue is coming up but still not there.
Rugpulling the education market that got suckered into buying all those Chromebooks and grooming the kids into Google products from kindergarten onwards.
Installing apps from sources that are not the Play Store requires a bit of technical knowledge anyway. My grandma is not going to download a random APK and give all the necessary permissions to install it and run it.
no, that is not done via developer mode. When You download or try to open an apk from any app, it asks you if you want to allow it to install apps and send you to the configuration dialog. You still have to validate the app installation manually tbrough another dialog. In that case I usually leave the config dialog open while the app is installed, then disable the app permission right after install because that option is usually not easy to find. I usually only do it once on a new smartphone to install f-droid from a browser then allow f-droid and aurora store permanently.
I think that is the part that should be fixed, users should be able to allow a one time exception to avoid letting that permission activated by mistake. I don't need to allow permanently a web browser to install apps.
No. People are stupid. They love when taskbar (rightbottom) is flooded with icons and constantly blink to disturb when using device while sucking tons of CPU/memory.
i.e -> fake news.
