What do bootloaders and the ability to run your own SimpleX relay have to do with this?
What will you connect to the SimpleX relay, when all devices will have locked bootloaders and every "app store" will ban SimpleX?
It is happening RIGHT NOW for people using iphones in the UK. You won't show your ID = no access to apps.
Apple having the control, removed multiple apps in censored countries, nuked a torrent app in an EU store, and now gave the control to the UK government.
All this is ONLY possible because of a locked bootloader. If bootloader was not locked, we could install apps, modify the system and use it as we please.
Try any of this, on Linux on x86. But for Linux to stay alive cannot be squashed by exclusion. And that's what they are trying to do right now.
