So let's vote them out
I would love to obtain a handbook on how to convince moronic far-right leaning neighbors to change or at least soften their stance. I usually just tell them to fuck off, which apparently is not that much effective.

Presumably this won't apply to Chinese OEMs, since even though their devices do ship a disabled by default Google Mobile Services (without the user facing Play Store APK), it obviously would not be suitable to require Google involvement for developing internal apps. The OEMs could set up such a debug licensing service themselves, but each of them would have to do it themselves, and then it would be impossible to debug Google-based apps on the devices.
Many Chinese OEMs are not Google certified, so it won't for sure apply to them. Some (Huawei) even had to implement their own app store and replacement for Google services. They are basically de-googled devices, though, sadly, often loaded with spyware from the other camp.
Does anyone know where to find the text of the proposal? I wasn't able to find it.

This is the logic of yeast. Optimize locally until you drown in your own shit.
I have been speculating on adding a tar pit on my personal web site. A script that produces a page of random nonsense and random looking links to the same script. The thing not linked to anywhere, but explicitly forbidden on robots.txt. If the crawlers start on it let them get lost. Bit of rate limiting should keep my server safe, and slow down the crawlers. Maybe I should add some confusing prompts on the page as well... Probably I never get around to it, but the idea sounds tempting.
Or, serve "Emergent Misalignment" dataset.

I'm not seeing anything in the post with any legal resolution or "proof" the accusations were false. Whatever case he had was settled out-of-court. It doesn't seem like the accusing parties were asked or agreed to take any action retracting their claims.
So, as observers, what we're left with is two people accusing someone of something and the accused saying they're innocent.
Now imagine we trust this company with collecting psychological profiles of future western politicians ...

You have to opt in to Recall. You must have a “Copilot+ PC” which has an “NPU”. The snapshots are stored and processed locally.
Locally for how long? You know, all that data how you interact with a PC are just too tempting ...
