Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone - eviltoast

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?

Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

I don’t even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

      NL here too, but 1+8t on OxygenOS 14, and it is installed here. Did you check your system apps?

        Another NL user here, not installed on my carrier-bought S23 Ultra, checked system apps as well in both my personal and work profile.
