Netflix e altri associano l'idea smartphone rooted - applicazioni sono da bloccare Netflix Blocks Rooted Phones From Seeing Netflix App -<http://wirelessiq.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=5000b2674aa552c31856aa7...> Netflix has confirmed the company is now preventing rooted Android phones from being able to install the company's streaming video app via the Play Store. Android Police was the first to note the changes in policy with the release of the 5.0 version of the Netflix app over at the Google Play store, which has been upgraded to integrate the Widevine DRM provided by Google. Oddly the app still seems to work if sideloaded, but it's not clear it's going to stay that way. In a statement Netflix confirmed that users with rooted phones may not even see the Netflix app show up in the Play Store. "With our latest 5.0 release, we now fully rely on the Widevine DRM provided by Google," Netflix has confirmed. "Therefore, many devices that are not Google-certified or have been altered will no longer work with our latest app and those users will no longer see the Netflix app in the Play Store." In fact, Netflix even appears to have blocked phones that simply have the bootloader unlocked. That's oddly troubling given that rooted phone users aren't doing anything particularly wrong in rooting their devices or installing custom ROMs. That said, there has been a slow trend in this direction in recent months, with the developers of Pokemon Go also blocking rooted devices from installing or using the game.
