Maybe an analogy could be about using metal detectors as a layer to reduce bank robberies. A gun in a good guy’s hands is a good thing to prevent robberies. Guns in a bad guy’s hands are a bad thing to prevent robberies. Paypal knows you have a gun but they don’t know if you’re a good guy or a bad guy so it’s easier to just ban guns.

ROOT IS NOT SUPPORTED” poped upBut was as simple as readding the bank app to my root hiders.but still, i hate this security theater

Otherwise it would just continue to raise suspicious that Graphene is favored by governments and big tech.
