We have to presume that the US sent NSLs to the same effect a long time ago. But I guess you wanted to know if India's order means everybody in the world gets India's software.
Sadly the world is moving towards this. Any resistance to this is going to end up getting defamed like bitcoin.
The argument for going back to a dumb phone and a bunch of stand alone devices for features like music, books, pictures etc. is getting more compelling by the day. Convenience of having all-in-one has made it much easier to just target that one device.

Graphene depends upon unlocked bootloader. So they can go after pixel for offering unlocked bootloader. Most phones now are locked bootloaders

Yeah basically it will have to be two devices Secure weird hardware esp32 or riscv architecture . How good they will be , not good at first. But eventually better. Eventually can take over whole phone. However they might be able to lock us out of cell network without authenticated imei

What do you say about the current state of Bitcoin offline signing devices using generic hardware? Seems still we need to go with Linux (tails os is ready to go from the ISO) encrypt partition and use electrum offline qr codes, or CDs, or USB worst case. Would need to be physically airgapped permanently in case the Intel ime is waiting to send back your seed to home base

What would be the non amd/Intel ime version of an airgapped laptop with tails os? Airgapped laptop with iso is the most convinient diy wallet. But what is the easiest (non ime laptop)
